    Evening lovelies

    Have not been on much over weekend, Went to a birthday party last night and did not get in till 4 this morning and so feeling a bit delicate today

    OH downstairs watching football so thought that i would take opportunity to catch up in peace

    Popped into T this afternoon but very disappointing no whoopsies and the brijsket was scanning at £5,50 :eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Bought some of the T pizzas and used price flops

    If anyone still has any of the MAM coupons they want to use up noticed that some of the items are now £1.34

    Been trying to get the new L'oreal coupons but a black box keeps coming up on screen where coupons should be. Is anyone alse getting this ?

    Hope that everyone is okay and has had a nice weekend

    Frequent - good luck for tomorrow

    French Knickers - love todays photos stunning as always

    Fudgecake - hope that you come back soon as does bot seem the same without you here as part of the family

    That's better than HC - he says "leaves of three let it be, leaves of four have some more!" Sure he got it of Homer Simpson.

    Soon be time to pick the wild raspberries that grow up the lane :)

    Noooooooo!
    HC is missing out on my favourite foraged plant: wood sorrel!!

    (more 3 leaved plants for me!!).Wonder where the expression comes from? Sounds cool!
    You are so lucky with the wild raspberries :)I've looked in vain for wild raspberries but I've not given up hope! I do have quite a few cultivated canes though in my garden.


    Enterprise, whereabouts are ya! Wouldn't mind foraging in your garden!;)
    I've yet to see a cobnut. They sound intriguing.

    I never dare to forage for mushrooms, but I do love blackberrying, chestnutting, cobnutting etc! Looking forward to raspberry season though, mine are coming along quite nicely, along with my blueberries! Have quite a productive garden: Blackcurrants, redcurrants, rhubarb, blueberries, tayberries and raspberries. Also hopefully tomatoes. Would have had onions but the sparrows won that battle!!!

    Had lovely dinner, a bit of an experiment, put some emmental cheese on top of chicken breasts and wrapped them in bacon, popped them into the oven for 35 minutes, along with some roast spuds and some mixed mediterranean veg (curtesey of Aldi!!). Was very nice! Was a big treat as did not depend on woopsies!


    I go blackberrying in a country lane near me but have to wear hi viz cos of the speed some of the cars come round the bends. Still got some of last years in the freezer

    For cobnuts, I go to the end of my driveway :j my next door neighbours have a tree/plant which I almost cut down/back last year as when it's green and leafy you can't see what's coming up the road when you are pulling off the drive. When I spied the cobnuts that were on my side, I was having them! I'm watching it closely this year and there are loads on there :)

    I usually grow loads in my garden but this year decided against it. Just as well with all this rain, my tomatoes would have all had blight. But my strawberries are doing nicely after 2 winters outside :)

    I'll try and take a pic of the one I was just saying about so you know what to look for

    And then the footy season begins again!!:o:j:j

    Got to be Spain unless they put Torres on :rotfl:

    I guess by the time the Olympics are over we'll be glad for the football season. Hoping to get a few things done before life revolves around the fixture list again, harder to plan now because it all gets changed at the last minute for sky :(

    Took the kids to a PYO farm today, got a punnet of strawbs and one of gooseberries!

    went to T's and they had a load of the small pots of cream (free with the strawbs) on whoopsie, grabbed a couple of cartons at 9p each!!:j:j

    Got home, looking forward to my fresh strawberries and cream and the kids had already polished them all off!!:eek::rotfl:
