Ok, I promise I am behaving to the best of my abilities!
Great Aunt Piq , I have visions of piles of bananas being deposited right outside my front door ............about now !! Thankyou for your wonderful advice and could never ban you!
I have bought blueberries, bananas, raspberries and more. DD2 and I made smoothies yesterday morning and also pancakes with maple Syrup and strawberries and raspberries. I only managed half a pancake, she ate 3 and they were huge American style ones! :rotfl:I have no idea where she puts it all, she is very very tall but teeny tiny size 4 !
I am feeling bit better actually. Mr Pinot had booked kids week tixs for Shrek before we knew about the operation and there was No way I was missing that. We drove into town on Friday late afternoon, we took the big old car and I perched with my Granny cushion for the journey. Detoured via Butlers Wharf where we had a little stroll in the sunshine and DD1 took some great photos of Tower Bridge and the Olympic Rings hanging. We grabbed a bite to eat using 2 for 1 vouchers although my eyes were bigger than my belly and I barely ate a thing !service was appalling , I had a glass dropped on me, Parmesan all over my lap and in my hair to name a few bits ! The poor waiter suffered Mr Pinots annoyance as he failed to apologise despite covering me in drink and food !:mad:But it didn't spoil the evening. I was concerned I would struggle in the show but just managed to sit down long enough for each half but had to be pulled out of my chair oohing and aahing ! The girls loved the show! Obviously very child orientated but I can safely say we loved it too !
Yesterday brought a lovely letter from marks and sparks offering £350 of refunded charges! Yey :j thankyou very much. I actually can't remember what I asked for and embarrassingly can't be bothered to look, so I have accepted it anyway and they have deducted from the debt, so new signature now below! Whoopee! It needs more updating actually as I have now paid all the predators this month, I will do that another time nw though.
Overdone it a bit yesterday, walked around for a bit too long, so am going to sit in the garden for a while today and pray another manky garden chair won't collapse on me ! The garden looks terrible, everything is dead from lack of care the last few weeks, the furniture is rotten, the bamboo has got underneath the patio and pushed the slabs up and ant hills have overtaken the grass, but I will sit out there anyway and ignore it.
Ebaying ........I have stopped for now, I think I have about £200 towards the new garden furniture, but I have been struggling to get the parcels to the post office, but I will start again with a vengeance shortly !
I wish these iPads had anti glare screens so I could sit in the garden and catch up on your diaries. I will get around to you all soon. I promise !
In the meantime I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend x xLBM July 2011 - Finally took control Nov 2011 DFD Sometime in the distant future ! :eek:

Ooh have I really gone over the 18% mark !! Wow !! Thankyou HH !!
I will keep everything crossed for you this week with regads to M&S, please keep me posted when you can if you do get some news.
Thanks for the top tip on the Oregano, I desperately need to do a proper shop, the Oregano in my cupboard is looking very pale faded, I dread to think what the use by date is on it ! I wont start clearing the cupboards out today now though, so maybe it can stay there a bit longer.
I am feeling a bit guilty re the school hols. This first three weeks has gone by in a flash and I feel terribly guilty that I havent done much with the girls and they have hovered around keeping an eye on me, but as Mr Pinot reminded me, I was absolutely no use to them whatsoever prior to the operation anyway as I was in too much of a tizzy, so really this is all actually a bonus. The holidays are disappearing in a flash , we are halfway through, and I love the school holidays !They have seen quite alot of their friends nonetheless and seem happy enough, its just me as usual being Mrs Guilty. Ho Hum !!
