    Morning all,

    Bright and beautiful here again, but my god it was cold in the night, took me ages to get to sleep as I was so cold, must remember to take a hottie to bed with me tonight ;):D

    WM and dw are on, need to hoover through, tidy round, walk dog and go and see dad.

    Roast belly pork for dinner with roasties, cabbage, carrots and cauli.

    Yesterday dd and I went to the local charity shop, and picked up a load of picture frames for 50p each, we sanded them down and painted them, so need to give them another coat this afternoon, she is going to hang them all over one wall in her room with home made craft things etc in.

    Tru, nice to see you posting x

    Have good days all xx

    Bramble hate to say it (those of a delicate disposition look away now) but is there a chance she ate the sick? You know what labs are like ;)

    Kids staying at home today so although DS isn't doing a dying swan he is terribly bunged up and says his throat hurts. What's the betting he still ends up hyper after being home today :eek:

    hehe he did - but still left some mess - luckily on the rug so all cleaned up now! He must be feeling under the weather as he's not keen on getting out of bed today (either that of the novelty of me being home in the week has worn off after 1 day :rotfl: ) will drag him out for a walk later!

    Hallway and kitchen cleaned, rabbit cleaned out and a load of washing is on. feeling fairly productive today!

    Morning all
    :jGlad all is well Lou!
    Am waiting for mum to get back from the dentist, then we are off to hand back the keys for great aunts house, sad but necessary. Snowing here, but not too heavy at the moment. WM is merrily hot washing work uniforms, will iron this afternoon and may drag out the suitcase to survey the holiday clothes, 6 weeks on Friday and really need it!
    Hugs where needed, have a good day all!
    RIP Iain

    Morning All

    I have done two loads of washing already, shepherds pie is made and I will get that in the oven at 12, ready to eat at one-ish when DH gets home.
    I have a batch of dough proving and I feel like baking a swiss roll today.
    We had a lovely meal yesterday evening ( we went out at 5pm because I can't eat too late now). I managed half of the meal which wasn't bad for me lately.

    flutterby great result with Herr taxman x

    :eek::eek:

    Its just raining hard here.
    DS1 came back from GFs and went straight to bed,he's been up all night with either food poisoning or d & v lurgy.He bought a ys sandwich yesterday and is blaming that.I'm not so sure so I've cancelled DB & DN,especially as DB rang early this morning to say his SD has had her little boy,9lb:eek:-don't want our household responsible for spreading germs onwards to them.So today is now unexpectedly free.I'll go and make a baby boy card,I thought I'd got one already,but the rate the DS friends are reproducing I must have used it :D Did the Easter cards for the littlies yesterday,have to make use of my recent craft purchases to be able to justify them to myself(not that it was anything major-I am lusting after a die cutting machine but that will have to wait)
    I will be cooking a 1/2 price joint of beef later,we were meant to have it Sunday,but put it back when DSons werent around.Just made a fruit salad with some fruit that needed using up.I'm not spending much on food this week due to my mega shop last week,may just need some f&v on Thurday.
    Trying to tidy the house in case of visitors over Easter,did most of it yesterday,just need to tidy downstairs a bit,gets a bit messy on Mondays with getting DGD toys etc out.She is growing so fast 7 months now,next size of nappies up needed so have most of a pack to donate to add to the pile for DSniece :D

    Right,better carry on,love & hugs to all.
    Lou,glad the scan went well :)

    Snow!!! We've got cloudy blue sky, better get the dog out before it rains though.

    We need our electrical certificate done again, so i'm running around the house like a headless chicken trying to get it looking lovely and tidy. (haven't called the guy to book him to come in but I think he wants Thursday!) Whyyy don't i just keep on top of things?!

    Redruby - i'm going to look round charity shops for home things on the weekend - hope i get some good finds :)
