Morning Mrs Hinge.
Good news on the head roll :rotfl: and for Superman :A
Our car boot was rained off too and Mr Stripes is working this Sunday so I have to bail .
Took the King to his one to one trampoline session today and he was brilliant. When he first started in Jan he was bouncing on his bum and now he is on his feet and it de stresses him.
Whats the plans this weekend Mrs Hinge?
Grandma stripes is staying with us for a few weeks :eek: . It is weird when the mum and daughter relationship swap around, I have another big kid as well as Mr Stripes!!

Glad the King has found something to help de-stess, Superman has a trampoline in the garden and come rain or shine he is out thee bouncing, in summer he stays out unitl 8-9pm bouncing..... I saves him wearing a hole in the carpet running lengths :rotfl:

This weekend will be a big cleaning up weekend I think, both Superman and baby Hinge are down with the man flu so looks like we are confined to the house. I am hoping to get to the gym :eek: my work trousers are getting far to tight and I really need to shift this lard if not I may take Miss Hinge for a bike ride depending on the weather.

What has everyone else got planned?

time to grab a brew and take a look on the slimming world website

:j it's the weekend! :beer:

Busy day at work, everyone wanted their pound of flesh today looking forwards to a weekend of clearing and hopefully selling! :j

Trip to a very nice local butchers today, I think he will become my new best friend :rotfl: 5lbs of gluten free sausages and 5lb of minced beef no nasties ordered for collection tomorrow I am determined to find ways around having to cook 3 different meals every day for the [STRIKE]fussy folk[/STRIKE] little darlings:eek:

DMP review done, payments are going up slightly and my new debt free date is 2024 :eek: it will be sooner then this. It has to be! I have alittle wriggle room in the budget so we shall still be "comfortable-ish" :rotfl::rotfl:

Tomorrows plan of action [STRIKE]curl up on the sofa and veg[/STRIKE] keep as busy as I can and get as much done as I can!

I want to finish painting Miss Hinge's room and get her bed moved as she keeps falling out of it :eek: the beams means she sleeps right near the edge as she is scared of banging her head!

I have someone coming to look 3 of our old bikes so hopefully they will sell and make some more ££'s

I will badger Mr Hinge to set up the printer so I can fill the 12 empty multiphoto frames we have hanging on the walls :rotfl:to try and brighten the place up, I'm feeling really homesick and think some memories are much needed, bonus they are free as we have all the ink and paper already..... saves a 200mile trip home

I hope to sort out my wool and fabric stash and have a serious cull, unlike the half hearted one a few weeks ago :rotfl: eBay will be my friend!

Superman :A and baby Hinge have still got the manflu and Miss Hinge is beavering away at her homework so the house is unusually quiet

I've made a fab gf choc sponge cake and chocolate custard tonight for tea which we've all enjoyed !

Sounds like a fun weekend for you decorating and decluttering - amazingly we to will be doing that

mary_hinge

Good Morning all! Cuppa tea and a sausage sarnie for bunch :j can't beat it! Maybe this is why my waist-line is expanding!:rotfl:

Busy day in the Hinge Household today, Superman is [STRIKE]dying [/STRIKE] on the sofa having a pj day feeling very sorry for himself..... Baby Hinge is out in the garden blowing away some cobwebs, helping [STRIKE]chasing[/STRIKE] the rabbits back to their shed after Miss Hinge [STRIKE]turfed[/STRIKE] cleaned them out :rotfl::rotfl:

Washing machine on for the 3rd time today. 2 lots out on the line almost dry :j 6million-gazillion loads waiting as always :rotfl:

Mr Hinge is returning something to B&Q that we bought in the sale for Miss Hinge and then found a free alternative that we already had at home £10 saved

Have found another 5 items to list on eBay and 3 more for the local selling pages.

How is everyone today? Stripes the King ok? Plmbl I hope your taking cae of yourself as well as everyone else! HaW it's the WEEKEND :beer:

DawnyBabes I would love a GF choc pudding recipe if your able to share!

Tentatively perches on a small area of none saddle sore bum cheeks ooooooh'ing and ouch'ing whilst typing!:rotfl::rotfl:

Lovely day today, 4mile bike ride with baby Hinge in a bike seat on the back of me, Superman on a tag-a-long behind Mr Hinge and Miss Hinge free wheeling on her own :eek: my legs and bum are murder but it is so worth it! we played in the park, fed the ducks, stopped for ice cream and ignored the jeering idiots laughing at the fat bird on a bike:o keep going sunshine it is just all the more th-inspiration to shift the lard.

Beautiful tea of mixed grill, hm wedges and mixed veggies, I could get used to visiting this friendly butcher his steak, chicken breasts and sausages are by far the best I have tasted and even get Superman's approval:A:T now to cut down the amount of meat we eat so we can afford to go there more often:o

I have been toying with the idea of booking a week away in the tent in July, have found a site that will be £101 for 7 nights with electrics so would just need petrol and food which we can cook ourselves on the camping stove. Previously I wouldn't toy I would just do but I am mindful that it would mean tightening our belts a lot. Something is stopping me booking, maybe I will sleep on it.:(

5 loads of washing clean and day today :j:j got to love the sun

Dvd night with Miss Hinge, have a huge fruit salad and some Hm popcorn ready and a copy of the dvd recorded from her concert she did at the arena in Birmingham last December:)

Sounds like you have had a fab day Mary! Hope the saddle sores magically disappear overnight .

We've had a lovely day too, taking advantage of the free National Trust weekend. I'm hobbling now though after walking so far with my stupid foot problem :mad:.

Here's to lovely family days tomorrow too! Xx

Mrs Hinge give me some of the energy you have

I only managed having my haircut, taking the kids and Mr Stripe to Ikea for lunch. I did go to work for a few hours this evening but that is time out for me :rotfl:
I would love the King to ride a bike, we are at the trike stage and he rather me push him than use the pedals :mad: If only I can bribe him.

The King is happy because we went swimming yesterday which means a happy me

Camping sounds great! The King finally enjoyed our weekend away in Feb this year, actually looking forward to holidays now, great memories.

:j:j Superman has a bike with stabilizers and a tag along that clips on to Mr Hinge but not much pedaling goes on :rotfl: on either bike!

Superman loves to swim aswell, I think it is the deep sensory impact they get from the echos, reflections and the weightless feeling the water gives them.

I have racked my brains and have a plan for the holiday, my friend will take care of the pets so no boarding fees to pay and with the overtime from work we can cover food, petrol and spends. Superman loves to be in the tent and he really calms down and I think this calls on using some of his DLA to pay the site fees.

As for energy I think it is more that I am awake for more hours in the day to fit more stuff in :rotfl:

Are you car booting tomorrow Stripe?

Plmbl what is up with your foot? we used to be members of the NT but there is very few sites to visit locally that we hardly used it

hot water bottle on me bum and a glass of vino to numb the pain :eek:

Ooh sounds like a fab day. My son can't ride a bike for toffee ! He just doesn't have the coordination or leg strength, I bought him a new one a few weeks ago for £20 off Facebook and am going to try again this summer.

For the choc sponge I just use a normal recipe but just swop the flour and add cocoa and grated choc. The choc custard was normal custard with cocoa powder in. We've all eaten it (which defeated me making a huge one to freeze some !!!)

I have plantar fasciitis I developed it in my right foot after going on what was supposed to be a short walk in flimsy ballet type shoes and we ended up walking for miles. The doc said it would take a year to go away and literally 2 weeks before the year was up it went, and then I got it in my left foot a week or two later :(. It's been about 7 months of it in my left so far, but I'm noticing it creeping back in in my right too. Devastated because the next step is horrible painful injections into my feet, followed by surgery if that still doesn't fix it :eek:.

We are lucky in that we have 3 NT properties fairly close by and several more just that little bit further. We signed up as members today as they were offering a discount, so basically we are going to spend our whole summer touring NT properties coz it's bought and paid for :rotfl: Xx
