reverie

Morning everyone :wave:

Lambanana and Smoky - Sending hugs. I understand re. work too, I feel the same and am already counting down the hours until home time today.

CCStar, Rage in Eden and anyone else who needs them - Sending hugs and good wishes.

A grim day of miserable grey skies today. Not a good start.

Went to dinner with my lovely friend last night to meet her new man and he was lovely, friendly and chatty but not full of himself, funny haha (not funny cuckoo), caring and open but still a manly man. Very good. I questioned him a bit. He was nearly out of the door when I asked him who his favourite Bond was and he NEARLY said Roger Moore :eek: But he redeemed himself and she's happy so that's fab.

In January I somehow managed to agree to go water skiing with my OH and some friends he goes with. I thought nice bargain weekend away as we are not having a holiday together (£100 for us 2 for 3 nights by a lake), I'll be okay with the whole water skiing thing. The trip is in May. I am now getting more and more concerned that I might plunge to my death behind a speeding boat :eek: I have a slight fear of being in deep water. Well, I didn't think the fear was that bad but I now realise it's because I've been avoiding it for.. well... mostly ever. Is it okay to have some fears I wonder? Anyway, tonight we are going to see the friends that we are going with and the thought of even talking about that weekend makes me come out in a cold sweat. Oh gosh. I am not cut out to be an action girl. I want to stay in my kitchen, OSing and putting my baking into my wicker basket and vaccuming and listening to Radio 4.

I hope everyone has a good Thursday. Nearly the weekend x x x

Pink.

Morning all,

CCStar, hope the viewing goes well.
Snowy and Lambanana, I hope you both have a better day at work.
Catowen and Mrs Mix, I hope you both have a better nights sleep tonight.
Frugal fairy, good to see you back.
Pen Pen, thinking of you.
Rage, you must be so frustrated.....I hope you manage to find out what's happening and that FIL is on the mend soon.

I've done the school stuff, washed the dishes, put the washing machine and the breadmaker on and I'm just sitting here nursing a cup of coffee while I waken up properly. I really envy those of you who are bright eyed and bushy tailed in the morning! I suppose it would help if I went to bed at a decent time at night.

It's a lovely sunny morning here. There's nothing interesting happening today. I'll make a cottage pie or lasagne for tea tonight and if I can find the motivation I may have a go at decluttering the hall cupboard. Off to have a quick browse while I finish my coffee. Note to self: I must not spend all day on mse!

I hope you have a good day.

Morning :hello:

Lots of people sound like they need a ((((hug)))) this morning. If I name you all, I'm bound to miss somebody out and upset them, so here's a generic ((((hug)))) for everybody

That reminds me, I must phone my Dad, it's 2 years today since my Grannie died. I nearly forgot. I always think of her as having died in April cos that's when the funeral was...

I had a PM from Penny-Pincher!! and noticed that her post count says 4,000 Congratulations on 4k posts you big gas-bag!

Tonight I am going to the Gilbert & George art exhibition at Tate Modern. It is a closed viewing (we are a corporate sponsor) and I have a free entry pass for two. TBH I could have really done with a night in (all you Flyladies would be horrified at the state of my flat after a week and a half of neglect from being out every evening!) but I knew that my ex was really really keen on seeing the G&G exhibition so had to offer him the freebie Still, the showing is scheduled to finish at 9pm so as long as I can be self controlled enough to go straight home (rather than to the pub with XBF!) I should have a couple of hours to myself! Need to write 3 opera reviews too, which will undoubtedly take precedence over housework...

Lunch: yellow pepper soup
Dinner: probably beans on toast

See you later

Love Rzl xx :wave:

Rage_in_Eden

Well thought you might like a laugh. I have just had a look at the selection of flowers - realising the DH had not given me a price range I rang him up and asked - "about £15" he said. How I laughed - "DH" I said "they start at mid-£20". "Oh" he said - "we'll leave it then". See what I mean about clueless..... Full of the grand gesture but it's me who has to sort it out.

Amiee - the shamu cam is working now! Thanks

Pen, hope it goes well at options night, I remember my own dilema there as if it were yesterday (God the stress! Triple Science? Or double science and german???!!!) It was eventually decided in a pub, not sure whether that fits with your parenting style or not, but I found a lime and soda really helped me make up my mind :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

We're off to the pub later, for sure I have choir, and need to rehydrate afterwards. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

DH is wanting to lead DD as to what to do. I'm more for her getting all the info, then making up her own mind. Our main problem is that DH and I are both trained as scientists, but DD is very arty - she definitely wants to do art, textiles, and history - no probs with that. But what advice can we give as to whether business studies, french, media, or drama will be the best choice for her

MATH

Hi Y'all, it's dull and dank here in the emids but my bathroom is bright and shiny having benefited from a MATH bleach 'n' scrub frenzy;)

DW done and TD chugging away full of wet towels.

Salmon Pasta Salad chilling in the fridge for tonights dinner and the cats have snaffled a sofa a piece and are sleeping having gorged on salmon skin and grated cheese:D

It's parents evening/afternoon for Miss MATH this afto, hence the cold tea as I will not be back until 5pm and I've got Lenten Group tonight. I've just remembered I've not told Senior MATHLETT I'll be at parents eve and I bet he won't turn his phone on until he gets home, guess I'll have to pin a note to the door - again!

Hugs to all who hate their jobs at the mo! Snowy, Lambanana and others

dlb - I know what you mean about the long month, we've had dentist and my car MOT to fork out for this month too. I'm now reduced to paying for things with pocket fluff. LOL

CCstar Hope things are picking up for you

TM If you are lurking, hope all is going as well as can be expected. I keep meaning to MSN ya but keep forgetting:o

Rage It is so frustrating being a genius among dolts:D It's a cross few of us are called to bare but if chosen, bare it we must:D

Right-I-HO- better get on with my paid2clicks, it['s actually earningme enough at the mo to cover the Tesco bill:j Hurrah - value chicken breasts all round, who says I don't know how to spoil um!:rotfl: Before clicking I'm gonna brave the site search and attempt to find the recipe for Syrup Crispy Cakes:eek: I may be back in a hour, frazzled and begging for someone to post the link:rotfl:

Have a good day

Peem

Not really in the same vein as the jokes above - but this made me smile. (dunno why the nuns have to be Scottish tho!? )

Two Scottish nuns had just arrived to the US by boat when one said to the other, "I heard that the occupants of this country actually eat dogs."

"Odd," her companion replied, "but if we shall live in America, we might as well do as the Americans do."

Nodding emphatically, the mother superior pointed to a hot dog vendor and they both walked towards it.

"Two dogs, please," said one.

The vendor was only too pleased to oblige and he wrapped both hot dogs in foil. Excited, the nuns hurried over to a bench and began to unwrap their 'dogs.'

The mother superior was first to open hers, then, stared at it for a moment, leaned over to the other nun and whispered cautiously, "What part did you get?"

((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))) to all of you who need one....

Its a horrible dank dark drizzly day here.....OH is about to go and get a TV choice from the newsagents and check on work in the apartment........

Another bad night last night, I was making tea at 2am.......

Nothing really planned for today, once it stops raining I have to get my craft table into the garden and photograph it, if my friend does not want it I wil put it on ebay next week.

I made a big pot of soup yesterday, so lunch is soup and toast, not sur whats for supper though. Will have to have a trip to the market tomorrow and get a £1 bag of spuds. I need to do a small shop next week, do not want to get too much in because of moving it will do a bigger shop once we are in.

Right I am off for a cup of coffee.........................see y'all later.
