    Hi Yall (again), Cold and frosty here in the emds (as everywhere else) but no snow yet!

    Well I got the garage doors fitted yesterday. I can now open them for the first time in years:j They're the roller type and the tension is a little 'enthusiastic':rolleyes: first attempt last night and I was almost launched into space:rotfl: Second attempt two MATHLETTS hung onto my shirt tails as ballast and I managed to stay earth bound. LOL

    Done:
    Tidying/vaccing/baths/kitchen
    Washing (currently drying)
    Paid2clicks

    To Do:
    Lunches & Dinner
    Ironing
    Banking (gotta find some money to pay for the garage doors;) )

    This afto I plan to snuggle down in the conservatory with the cats and wat 'Who do you think you are' from last night. Mrs MATH and I treated ourselves to a HD recorder at Christmas and it is brill and even better, WE CAN PROGRAMME IT:beer: which is something we could never do with the old video LOL

    Dinner Tonight:
    HM Vegetable Curry, rice, naan and Banana Custard with Butterscotch Sauce

    MATH x



    Bargain Rzl - I saw this story on the news last night. Last year someone was murdered in our village and it was very unsettling. I know things are different in small rural communities but even in a city if it's on you doorstep it's scary. Hugs

    I'm at work at the mo, and I'm freezing :cool: I think I've got the lurgy coming - oh no. Have done 2 loads of washing this morning, one's in the TD and the other's still in the WM - will sort out when I get home (after school).

    Tea tonight will be spag bol and garlic bread, and I must bake a loaf of bread tonight as well.

    DD has brownies tonight so it's always a rush, but at least this week her homework hasn't been left till the last minute - it's all done :D

    Have a great day everyone - byee

    hello all!

    Happy Birthday to Jackie O! have a lovely day!:beer:


    I did my feng shui "House Cleansing" this morning!:D hope the neighbours didnt see me waving incense, burning candles and chanting & ringing bells - they'd have thought id gone off my rocker:rotfl: (they prob think that anyway!) - so wait and see if the more positive energy is installed.;)

    meeting up for lunch with bargainrzl, mushypeas, pennypenguin - although I have had a text to say her train has been cancelled and she is getting a cab from Leeds!!! that will cost a fortune to london!!!!!!!:eek: :eek: (I hope she's careful with my chook eggs in that cab! - dont want them scrambled already!!):rotfl:

    ((hugs)) to PPincher Sister and snowyowl (cheer up duck, have you booked those flights yet for london??)

    Morning everyone, been busy this morning so haven't had chance to get online. Have hardly touched the housework so will have to crack on with some soon as I am back out at 12.45. Must get some studying done at some point, can't this afternoon as at other course, might get chance tonight, depends if we go swimming. We did get a sprinkle of snow last night but mostly melted now, kids just want to go sledging :(

    Happy birthday Jackieo, have a lovely day :)

    Chickadee I'd have a word with his GP, for your own peace of mind if nothing else, could well be nothing, but he's just a kid and I'd say that needs checking.

    Still got hassle with eBay person copying my item and selling it on, I sell these for charity, and she has copied them to sell to make money herself, eBay being as much use as a chocolate fireguard!

    Chemist just rang to say they have my malt extract in, eventually, so I can make some malt loaf etc now :)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning All

    Back at work yet again. I feel like I live here. Didn't get to sleep uptil 6.30am this morning. Not slept properly in a week and a half now.

    Got to get some bits in for dinner after work and fill the car up with petrol

    Expecting heavy snow according to the weather people, so not looking forward to that. Especially as I've got to be on the roads tomorrow.

    Happy Birthday Jackie0

    What is this person copying? If its the photo, you can take the pic, along side with a design of your ebay ID on it, so that will hold the copyright over your photo. Dont know what else to suggest other wise. PM with details!
