Eccck, what's your secret. Mine's a tenner! Good job I can be creative on the food front
I was going to ask if you sure you wouldn't want to be but decided I better not bring the thread down any lower.

Hope you had a great evening Mrs P. Just sorted out my packing, DGS packing for going home and other bits for the morning.
Driving with him to the coast in the morning to pick DD and BF up bring them back to our local station for them all to go home and them home for me to go away for a few days.
Have really enjoyed having DGS but at 14 months he is a bit of a handful and when tired very clingy, espcially when he climbs up nanny (ouch)
May not be on much this week so hope everyone has a good week and will catch up on my return.
I still haven't bought the books (fifty shades) have seen them in As** for £10.00 for all 3 but not really in the right frame of mind at the moment.
Take care all

Glad you had a lovely time with him but they can wear you out can't they. I'm fit for nothing after my 2 go home on a Monday. Hope DD and BF had fun on their break.
Have a lovely time away, will catch up when you get back x
I wouldn't bother wasting your £10 if I was you tbh, at the moment it's annoying me with the submissive female act and I haven't even got that far into it. I only caved because everyone else was talking about it and am sorry I did now.
Take care, chat soon Gx2 xTargets

Hope you all enjoyed your weekends and yes thankyou, Mr Pinot made it home about half 2 yesterday I think.:D
He chilled out, watched a bit of the Grand Prix and Tennis while I got stuck into some ironing. Its easier to stand so although Iwas being moaned at, it hurt less than sitting ! Also got a few bits listed on ebay, and sold a couple of the girls old clothes as well, so was relatively productive.
We went for a lovely walk by the river quite late it in the day. The water was in and we watched the huge crabs , DD2 wished we had remembered the nets and crabbing lines so I will try and remember that for next time. It had been a while since we had walked down there and it hadent crossed my mind she would want to do a spot of crabbing. Mr Pinot and I cooked together, another from Goks book,Im ashamed to admit, but the recipes are so easy and for once we sat down in the dining room to eat together which was lovely. DD2 started up the "Imagine if we won the lottery" conversation , "what would you do with it ?" Thankfully they all said they would get me fixed first ,top of the list but I think it may just blow the whole win !! Mr Pinot did offer we a huge diamond ring, I offered him a very very posh carbon bike he has his eye on, DD1 wants some more lenses for her camera and a photography course and DD2, a horse ! We decided that we wouldnt move, but get the house exactly as we would like it (after clearing the mortgage) and someone in to decorate. I would though ,buy a new car and a VW Campervan to renovate, as discussed before as I thought it would be fun for DD1 to go to the Prom in !! It was prom week last week, and we saw all manner of limos, hummers etc whisking the kids off. Even a double decker bus parked in the next street and alsoa horse and carriage. I didnt see a renovated VW Camper though , so thats my wish for DD1, never mind what she wants !!! :rotfl:
Sadly, Mr Pinot had a report to write up, so after dinner he headed into the office for the rest of the evening but by then it was pretty late, and msot of the day / evening had gone, so that was that !
Today is another day / week and looking to be hectic ! When is it not for us all though ?!
So......what are your wishes were you to win the lottery, come into some money and become DF........................sensible wishes or mad way out plans.............thought it would be fun to hear them ???LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

If it was a really biiiiiggggg win, buy lots of medium sized farms and let them to young hopefuls to give them a step on the ladder, a chance we never got. More property and lots of holibobs, a bombproof happy hacker for me and whatever OH fancied.............so not much then!

Nope not much at all L !! I think thats a perfectly reasonable request and I hope that one day your wish shall be granted !!!
I would buy some land and run a really cool campsite, not a rubbishy one with dodgy entertainment and kids clubs, but some where really cool and chilled, with campfires and jam jars with tea lights in hanging in the tress a la Mamma Mia !! Swings handging int he tress for the kids, bug hunts, tress to climb and dens to be made. Somewhere where people felt so relaxed that they didnt ever want to go home......oh and the showers would be very clean !!! :rotfl:LBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:
