Evening all,

Im pretty tired this evening and just can't be bothered to do anything - just had Pot Noodles and toasted sandwiches for tea :eek:!!! BUT at least we are having food we have already paid for (and bought on offer), instead of shelling out £20+ for a take out. Seriously, my life would be so much easier if I had a freezer. Really *MUST* put everything in the corner on Ebay, thus making room and funds for a freezer.

I think I might do my storecupboard inventory in a minute - I can sit down for that :rotfl:

evening to everyone. I am also an 80's child and have been remembering all the fun before you ever thought about having to go to work. We had a sweet shop next to school with weighed sweets 1/4 lb bags- my faves were rubarb and custard and flying saucers. Just found out the shop at work has a few of the old sweets so might have to get lemon sherbets this week.:j

had a crazy day today-short of staff yesterday and short of staff today, then when I finished work I had to go to the dentist :eek: fortunately no major probs but they reminded me I have to take dd next week. anyone have any suggestions for making a 3yo open her mouth and show her teeth?

thats all for now I really lead a boring life-nothing to say

With over 11 pages, and just had chance to sit down, I doubt I will get chance to read it all, so big hugs to those who need/want them. I hope everyones had a good day. Benn appointment after appointment then trying to do the 'normal' (housework, meals etc etc) stuff since I got home! Still not caught up yet.
