    I've been Money Tipped!
    Thanks for the shout, I love the people on here, but I am consistently failing at old style, so not much to write about.

    I am keeping everything crossed after sending little bear to school in a jacket that it will be dry enough today to dry his winter coat which once was red and white but now is more sort of grey.

    Little bear is doing well and is at school. He seems happy enough, and is getting a share of invites etc, so I am not worrying.

    Hi to everyone, thank you for the shout, I hope you all have brilliant days and are doing well.

    sounds like a lovely weekend nmlc
    ((hugs)) lw marie pp lou and all!

    Morning everyone, bit of a dull day here, very grey. Yesterday was really nice so I went for a walk and saw muntjac deer, rabbits, pheasants, birds of prey and the usual farm animals.
    Today I need to put a wash on, hit the supermarket with some vouchers, cook...something and of course do lots of uni work. Oops posted this ages ago but forgot to post!

    Morning all, hope you don't mind me joining in - I keep trying to be more OS on my own, but I recon I need you all to keep me in check! I

    Today I will mostly be feeling sorry for myself about my car being written off, and the pain I am consequently in. Obviously I should consider myself extremely lucky that I am fit and well to tell the tail, but there are so many things that still don't add up about the accident and it's still haunting me!

    Going to Vauxhall tonight with my mum to pick up her new car - she is being an absolute star and letting me have her old one for trade in value as OH and I physically cannot be a one car household with the shifts I work.

    Meals today will be anything I can get my mitts on in the house that doesn't require strength to access (tins, jars and diff cupboards are no go areas for me at the mo! )

    Hope you all have a wonderful day x

    Sorry I'm not managing to post very often atm but I read most days and think of you all xxxx

    Morning all,

    Not as sunny today, but its not raining (yet), have got a load on the line and another to do, loving this drying weather.

    This morning I have to hoover through and tidy downstairs, clean bathroom and kitchen, do an online shop, post ebay parcels, and see dad, this afternoon I would like to sit and watch a film with dd after a busy weekend, but I suspect something will come up.

    Roast pork tonight with carrots, cabbage, parsnip, roasties, and maybe a yorkshire, :j looking forward to that.

    Right washing has finished, have good days all xx

    Hi everyone

    WS - Glad you popped in, please do so from time to time.

    Breezy here today, so expect the washing to be dry in record time.
    Roast chicken for dinner tonight, - with veg for me and some form of potatoes too for DH. Lunch - maybe some strawberries. Diet doing well 4kg off now, back to more considered "worst weight" so now can try getting down again.

    Morning all,
    I was woken at 5.40 by DGD2 asking for boiled egg and soldiers, banana and strawberry yogurt !! when did I turn this place into an Hotel ?? At least I have loaded WM and BM which has now finished so I have the smell of fresh baked bread and wet washing.
    Must take stock of food that needs using so I'll do a meal plan for the week, we are off to spain on Sunday for 2 wks so I must run down fresh fruit/veg. DH has the suit cases from the garage so I'll start sorting out summer clothes, something we haven't been able to wear yet because it's still like winter.
    LO roast beef dinner for DH tonight, I have fish again.
    Right then, off to vacume and swish the kitchen.

    Morning Guys!

    The weather here is cold and dull again. Nurses were here just before 7 this morning:eek::eek::eek:...OH wasn't too impressed and asked if it can be no earlier than 7.30 as I'd had a bad night where he had to help me about 5-6 times to move or go to the loo.

    WM and DW both emptied. Veggies (spuds, cauliflower & carrots) all prepped. Kitchen wiped down and all downstairs swept and mopped. Meds need to be sorted for next 2 weeks.

    OH taking car to mechanic later to look at, post 3 parcels from Ebay and get his hair cut. Made £55 over the weekend and sold my old dinner set for £375 which will be collected soon.

    Dinner tonight is Sausages, mash and veg.

    Have a lovely day.

    PP

    Yesterday it was a friends birthday so we took him a card after we'd had a bacon butty-he was pleased to see us,then his wifes sis & Oh turned up too so that was nice-haven't seen them since Cmas.Tea was roast lamb I'd already frozen so that was quick to sort with a few roasties.
    WS-how lovely to hear from you.:jGlad LB is doing fine-time goes so quickly :eek:Shouldn't worry too much about OS-you knit don't you so that counts :D
    Beth- glad to see you too.I know what you mean about the summer clothes,all mine are still on the very top shelf,wardrobe needs sorting.
    Hugs to anyone in need,better get this washing out,TTFN x
