Good morning everyone,

HAPPY EASTER -
and Happy birthday to Groatie Queen xxx

Well, im up early for a Sunday, but we are off to this footie tournement in a bit, so have to make up a picnic to take with us, and then we ar going up to Barnstaple for a few days, as its my sisters 40th birthday today. We are missing her birthday meal at a nice hotel, because of the football, but she is having a 'do' this evening at her house, so will be able to celebrate there with her, which will be nice.
Hopefully DSs team will do well, make it worth missing most of our day with my sister!!! We dont see each other often, so will be nice - also going to visit some friends while we are there, and hopefully the car boot sale will be on tomorrow, as i have a boot full of stuff i want to sell!!!
Had a lovely day yesterday, with our Easter lunch, easter egg hunts and a lovley couple of hours cuddled up on the sofa with DD, watching a dvd and eating chocolate - bliss!!! Shame DS didnt join us, but he was out enjoying the sunshine, so cant complain as he was happy.

Right, better get moving, still loads to do (including getting the children up, but letting DS sleep as late as i can so he has energy later!!!)

Have a lovely day today, will check in if i can access a computer whilst im away!!!
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Good Morning & Happy Easter Everybody :icotbaske

I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't do much yesterday, I did my "little" shop in Aldi's as I couldn't get into Mr T's, I queued to get onto thier car park for 10mins and didn't move!!! Then I nipped into somerfields on the way home to get some mint sauce that I couldn't find in Aldi's and ended up spending another £10 on meat that had just been "yellow stickered" (I got some good bargains and should last us a couple of weeks).

I went to the garden centre and brought some plants but that was as far as I got with that!!! So the plan for today is to do some washing and then start on the garden while my DS makes himself ill on the 12 easter eggs that he has had. (I really wish that he didn't get brought that many eggs, I'm sure he would much prefer to have the £1 that each eggs costs and put it towards a new PS game or something)

Anyway hope you have a good day if your celebrating and hugs to those that want/need them.

Hi everyone!
Happy Easter!!
Did a lot of rushing around yesterday so am planning to take a step back today. Will do a bit of tidying in the garden and enjoy the sunshine. Meal wise we've dithered over boxes in Sainsburys and have plumped for Chinese as I've catered for other people for the last two days. We are joining my family later for a cuppa and a slice of cake.
Have a lovely day

Morning all - feeling v. positive today after a bad night. my exh has been sniffing around our old address looking for his daughter who is nearly eighteen. The same thing happened a few years back when his oldest daughter was 18 and we had to move. I have umpteen injunctions and a court order banning him from any contact but they are all hopelessly out of date. Anyway the police were lovely last night and are sending a couple of officers round today to take a report. Things have certainly moved on with the police and domestic violence - 20 years ago a friend called the police because her husband had smashed all the downstairs windows and there was glass everywhere - she and the kids were sitting on the front step when they arrived and she got told off for having them up so late! Thanks to lil-me and moggins for putitng me on the flylady track I am not panicking about the state of the house this morning and will carry on preparing for our bbq this afternoon until the police get here.
Happy Easter everyone and don't overdo the chocolate - 10yo dd has wrapped all hers in newspaper but mine looks and smells like a terry's chocolate orange - yay!

Happy Easter All!!!!

Lovely morning here but I noticed frost on the garage roof so have been out to check on my sweet peas as I planted them out on Friday. Hope they survive. Luckily I hadn't gotten round to planting anything else.

Twink - I haven't even done ,my toms yet as I really don't want them "producing" whilst we're on hols, so I'm trying to delay it as much as possible, it will have to be done this week though.

AMIE - I like to have a cuppa in the garden in the morning too but in my front garden as the sun doesn't get round to the back until about 2, so I must look even stranger, sat on the step in my dressing gown. :eek: Luckily we're a friendly bunch and it's a quiet enough road on the weekend.

Have been preparing peppers which I roasted for tomato and red pepper soup, the tomatoes are in boiling water at the mo waiting to be peeled. I hope it's okay I haven't made it before and it's for the starter for our big Easter lunch at mums. I will drop the soup round later and some little eggs to be hidden in the garden, the kids love looking for them in mum's jungle, then we'll walk round so we can enjoy some of step dads great wines!!. Brother is doing main course and mum the puddings - as the brood has gotten bigger over the years we tend to split the courses for our big meals at Christmas and Easter as poor mum ends up slaving and spending a fortune, it works pretty well.

OS wise not a lot as we will be out most of the day, have a couple of loads of washing to go out and then will hoover and wash the floors downstairs and hoover upstairs too. Am hoping we will have visitors tommorrow - dear friends we haven't seen for over a year, they are hoping to come with their newest baby!!! If they do come we will have lunch out and a walk by the river. Might try and bake a cake for them too but we shall see.

Okay kids have almost finished their first eggs - don't know how they can eat chocolate so early - I can only face tea at this time. Speaking of which this cup is finished and I need at least one more before I get on with my jobs!

Have a lovely day all!!!! Hugs to all in need.
