Shez

Morning everyone!

We all have colds at Chez Shez - so we are all grappling for tissues, lemsips, paracetamols etc!! i hate that early morning "clear out cough":o

Up late last nite doing my Family History Stuff - when youre on a roll-link you have to stay with it! Was reading about history of Beeston, Nottinghamshire (where some of my ancestors camefrom) it was v.interesting!

Just done a bread pudding for sis. Gonna do some banana muffins in a min to use up brown nanas! DH just loves ppincher fat free banana loaf - its almost gone!

Im attempting to have another go at Hummus - soaked chickpeas overnight, didnt realise you have to cook them for an hour aswell!

n9eav - hope yr daughter gets well soon.
bbabe - glad to hear moggy is home and well! yes vets bills are ridiculous nowadays - its a no wonder people d
ont want to havepets and there are so many wanting homes! when i was young - I dont remember having to take our pets to the vets so much like now - they went to have the "Snip" or "put down" and that was about it! such is progress eh....
sahmx5 - Im a leyton orient fan! you must have come from that area im guessing to support them????
jockettuk - glad you enjoyed yr meal!
PP - yes dont mess with the "Ging"!
dlb - Corr I can hear you from here!!!!
tiredmum - I had the same trouble with my kitchen that was from Wickes, bits following on.....I wrote to them and claimed back a couple of days loss of work, delays for fitters having to return, etc - I think i only chucked out the letter the other nite in a filing purge! its all sent to try us!!!
anniebooklover - can you give me a telling too!! I still havent done exercise

:bdaycake: :beer: HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACY RED:beer:

Good morning everyone,

Just a quicky from me this morning - DS has footie this morning, which he is very happy about, as the last few have been called off due to the weather (although last week was because the team was scared of our lads :eek: ) So i will be joining dlb in the 'mad demented mum, screaming in a muddy field' - actually i quite like it, i get to chat to the other mums, and not seing many adults its nice to get a bit of adult company - just a shame its outside in the mud!

Then, must go to Mr Ts, need petrol (hope i have enough to make it to football) and i havnt been shopping for nearly 2 weeks (yea me:j ) just hope i dont spend too much - im going with a list, and im planning on sticking to it.

Right, must go, will be back later.

((HUGS)):grouphug: to anyone who wants/needs one xxx

Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Godd morning everyone.

I've not been here for a while so nice to catch up.

n9eav - best wishes to your daughter.
bbabe - good luck with your pooly cat
jockettuk - glad you enjoyed your meal - It's my sons 21st soon but he's at uni so I'll miss him.
tiredmum - They messed us about with our bedroom - one tiny part delayed for no reason was the difference between happy customer and not!

Today will be spent making final choices about revamped kitchen - tiles, worksurfaces, plinth, floor, etc and I'm going to find it very stressful.

I've given up with my daffodil bulbs and am treating it as an experiment. My conclusion is that they flower very well if left in the net bag inside the paper bag on the patio wall for the winter!

Have a lovely day everyone.

Good morning everyone :rotfl:

Well I am still at

stage of the morning and need at least another one before I get dressed!!!


Plans for today are to get LO a pair of shoes, get some fruit and veg from Lidl. I have 1 wash done and on the line and another one on the go.

Everyone's favourite - mince and mashed spuds for dinner and I have thrown some mince in the sc with toms, onions, mushrooms, peppers and herbs to make a bologneise sauce. Not forgetting the garlic of course.:j :j

I have a yardstick in the freezer which should make some nice garlic bread to go with it and the kids can decide which shaped pasta we are having.:D


To all who need one today.


Have a good one,

Smoky. xxxxx


Edited to say .............................


Happy Birthday RacyRed, have a good one.

Morning All

It's a beautiful sunny day here in Edinburgh - and I've already got some washing out so feeling quite pleased with myself.

The next choice is whether to start gloss painting the skirting and door in the bathroom (new vinyl being laid on Thursday) or to start a 1500 word submission for an impending job interview - yikes.

On the upside a good friend is taking me to the ballet (Swan Lake) as part of my birthday this afternoon so that will be lovely.:j

Soba - good luck with the exam.

Hugs to all who need them today.

Hi everyone :hello:

Haven't posted on this thread for ages because I keep getting caught by my boss at work! I'm at home today and I'm doing my family tree all day. I've got the weekend to myself as DD is at her dads for the weekend and my OH is at his mates having a boys weekend. So it's just me and the dog!

Hi to everyone I haven't spoken to for a while and a special :grouphug: to those of you that are having a hard time at the moment. Even though I can't post much anymore I do read your threads.

Have a great weekend :j

ps my stupid breadmaker still isn't working but I made the most delicious bread in the oven the other day! Yum. I had a reply from Morphy Richards and they told me to half the sugar content which should stop the burning - but how will that help it to rise? I think I bought a dud :mad:

Do the job application during the day when your concentration is good! We did a job application for my OH the other day and it was 10pm we were knackered by then and I can only imagine the nonsense that we wrote on it by the end! I would gloss paint just before you go out for a while and not at night as the smell might be overpowering.
