Okay update - Two little girls have entered the world not NYE but NYD and what a way to start the year lets hope it carrys on in such a positive way:) They are in special care as they are a month early but everyone is okay and doing well.

On a different note I have a couple of chickens and have been getting one egg a day.

GQ, I used to live in a Towers something like that, but higher up. One of my neighbours "accidentally" hacksawed through her gas pipe.. She came round to me to use the phone to get the Gas people out. Two hours later she was at the door to borrow a pint of milk. Said the Gas people hadn't come and she was fedup waiting, and had sellotaped the pipe back together so the kids could have their tea... this was up top of a tower block! :eek::eek::eek:
Soon as she was off my doormat I was on the phone

witchywoo - always knocks me for six when someone damages the car, weeks ago someone smashed our back headlight while I was parked just for the fun of it!!
If you have fully comp insurance autoglass will come out to you and are supposed to clean it up properly too, only costs the excess rather than full window price. Saying that in our old old house we had the side window put in that many times we got the name of a local guy who used to call past scrap yard collect window and fit it all for less than the excess so its worth looking at. The last time dad fitted it for us as we had seen it done so many times!!!

WWP nobody was hurt though, you werent in it at the time, just hang onto that. And now the only way is up - things will get better xxx

What I would do to little !!!!!s who do stuff like that that isn't something I could type here :mad::mad::mad:

Like that idea mardatha that as the year has started badly it can hardly get worse :j

I have been grumpy all day - mainly cos we were having my parents and DD boyfriend to dinner today, kitchen was bombed after buffet last night, and I expected OH to deal with kitchen while I got sorted this morning. He didnt which left me cleaning up, cooking, rearranging furniture and dealing with kids too! Not impressed. he has decided its new years day (and he drank too much) therefore he is having a restful day - good job we were having guests or he would have worn dinner!!

Parents have decided to buy a new bigger dining table - theirs is tiny and over 40yrs old! to seat us all when we visit (twice a year then!!) and have chosen (gasps in shock) an Ikea reasonably priced one that extends (my mum never sticks to value or budget - dad took her with £2000 budget for sofa - ended up spending £5000), so will need it collecting tomorrow - dad is also finally building DS his bolt hole under the bed and its got me thinking about his room. So am off to buy some storage units tomorrow to try to help tidy his room up and move toys from living room too!:j:j:j

So at least I feel something has been produced today.

Cooked whole salmon for dinner (was gorgeous -Mr T offer) but loads left over - can I freeze it?

Considering quiches tomorrow, and possibly some salmon pasta bake.

Witchwoopiggy that's a dreadful thing for someone to do :mad: No apologies needed for moaning!!!
