    Smores are what everybody should have on their barbie, trust me! A toasted and melty marshmallow (or two if you are my DH) sandwiched between two (preferably dark) chocolate digestive biscuits... so named as once you've had one, the refrain of "please may I have s'more" is inevitable :rotfl:

    Hope your back is a bit better too, little_sweetie x

    Ooooh yum! They sound wonderful...but very naughty :naughty: must try one :D .....and thank you Lindylou, my back feels much better now

    Take care all.

    We got back earlier from a couple of days holiday so I just potted the £1.05 left over from our budget.

    Goodnight all and happy potting x

    Hello everyone,

    So sorry not to have been with you for the last few days, but sadly we have an elderly member of the family who, to put it bluntly, is dying and needs our time, as do all the family.

    I will be with you just as soon as is possible, but til then I know I can rely on all you wonderful SPCers to welcome any new members on and happily enjoy each others company.

    Take care everyone! Hugs to you all.

    My eyes just flicked over your post, sparky, I'll be with you just as soon as I'm able. Meanwhile, you & J take care!

    little sweetie - thankyou for your kind words. I am bruised and a bit uncomfortable, but otherwise have managed to get out and about today. Sadly hubbie passed away in 2004 of cancer (he was only 34) and therefore live alone, but family and friends have been wonderfully supportive.

    Its been a stressful week, but can honestly say that my local hospital were brilliant yesterday, they made me feel very much cared for (even my mum commented how lovely all the staff including the volunteers had been).

    In the meantime managed to pot 64p. Oh and good news on the nephew saving his money front........he is making noises about perhaps saving his money so he can buy himself an Ipad. I know it means him spending it eventually, but trust me a huge improvement.

    Ahh ty crimson, you are correct he is a real character and we firmly believe he thinks hes a bat as he spends 90% of his awake time upside down looking at us. He let both DH and I stroke his tail last night and the tip of his beak through the bars so hes def settled in :D

    Hugs to you Nells, get better soon

    And Hugs to Sue-UU too, I hope yourfamily member is comfortable (not sure how else to word that, but you know what I mean :()

    DS had his coeliac review yesterday and his Gluten level was through the roof :mad: which means all my hard work has been completely undone :( we dont think hes been cheating, we think theres been a bit of miscommunication, it seems the cheese you buy thats already grated (eg the cheese you get in school) has flour mixed into it to preserve it :eek: and DS has been eating it pretty much everyday for months, also Babybels could poss have it in too and DS's friend gets one everyday and doesnt like them, so guess whos been eating them ;) TBH I would never have expected gluten to be in cheese! so have had to email the school and recheck all the ingredients in my cupboard and my mums cupboard :( Oh well, we start again :(
