    Morning All
    (((Hugs))) Molly I hope that things get better for you soon x I had a nosey at the hedgehogs and hope that they survive the winter. What are you feeding them on?

    camNolliesMUMMY (((Hugs))) to you and the family, things are getting harder for so many and I for one dread next year with Council tax changes PIP and universal credit. I think that when the cuts really start to bite, we will see more and more civil unrest, I saw it in Thatchers era and fully expect it to be worse under this millionaire bunch of sadists who are even worse than she was :mad::mad::mad:

    Might get DH to take me somewhere today, but the weather is still yukky .

    DD has just got up and said that when she closed her curtains at 1pm there was a naked man on the corner, putting his clothes on :eek: I said it was probably some poor devil on his stag do.
    Mind you if he was a brass monkey he would have needed a welder it was that nippy last night.

    Roast Chicken today with all the trimmings. No pudding because they want yorkies. I might make a cake for tea though.

    Morning all,
    Had a great day yesterday and the swimming session with my son was HUGE fun. Still got this wretched cold so still having fairly quiet times. Have to go buy some more veg to go with pork joint tonight, but otherwise plan to watch the Grand Prix and potter about.
    Sun is trying to shine, but the wind is bitterly cold.
    Sorry to hear about poorly babies and tough times for some posters, life is never simple is it?
    Best wishes all round.

  • Thanks nlj1520 and butterfly brain.
    He's currently on the other sofa with his blanket snoring his lil head off ATM.
    So I've quickly made myself a bacon butty from some bacon that needed using up.
    I think if I get chance later il be comparing the gas and electric for the best cheapest deal I can find. I currently op up £45 for gas and electric, our boiler is not very efficient :( but its council property so they wont do anything, what makes things harder is we are saving for. Deposit to buy a house and we are so desperate for that.
    Have a good day everyone!! Big smiles

    ((((Molly))))

    I had a brilliant evening out last night with my friend :) but do have a slight headache this morning :( only had 2 glasses of wine so not happy!

    Looks to be another sunny yet chilly day day here :)

    Plans for day include popping to Aldi and few other shops, then watching the F1 highlights. May go for a walk too. Then tonight I may go see my friend's new baby if they are up for visiters.

    OS wise - WM just finished and will go on radiators, HM soup for lunch, laundry to put away

    Have a good day all

    Morning all,

    Very cold here but dry, so will get my bedding on the line in a while, we had the de-humidifier going last night as the windows were so damp.

    Would like to get OH to give the lawn a final cut if it dries out enough later on.
    And I might suggest a walk around the afternoon boot sale.

    Spag bol for dinner, will make double and turn half into a chilli for later in the week.

    Need to list some bits on ebay later on too.

    Saw my dad yesterday, and he is really suffering with a cold / chest infection, so I hope he feels better soon.

    Have good days all, and hugs for Molly xxxx

    Crushed peanuts like like you feed the birds and water - very important.

    I hope I catch the other babies - there are two or three around x
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
    Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
    I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
    When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    Morning all, been up since 7am got to get back in practice for 6am start tomorrow(back to school). Pets were walked and fed, it's dull and very damp here, shame as yesterday was sunny but cold. Hugs to all in need esp poorlies and fed ups. Hope things get better for us all but sounds like it will be a hard winter with fuel and food prices rising. Have a good day all:)

    Morning all,

    sympathies Molly41. Teenagers are such hard work. I think it only starts to get better when they move out but even then you worry about them.

    Dogs got me up twice in the night. Tried to kick hubby out of bed the second time but he was having none of it. He's only snapped at me twice this weekend so things are looking up!:D

    Have taken advantage of the extra hour in bed this morning (not as though i needed an excuse).

    Right, i suppose i had better kick myself into some sort of action as the men are getting restless.

    Have a Super Sunday all :)

    Afternoon all!
    Soup bubbling on cooker, beef and veg stew bubbling in SC, OH snoring on couch, DD and bf decluttered to airport for holiday, and on here whilst kindle charges. Will pop to mums in a bit, today would have been mum and dad's 51st anniversary, will get her some flowers and have our usual reminiscence session!
    Have a good day all!
    RIP Iain
