Was today Princesskittys wedding day? I hope you've had a wonderful wonderful day princess congratulations xxx

Mrsinvisible I hope you had a good catch up with your friend. Can we try and remind each other next year? I didn't even make Easter biscuits or buns- oh the shame! I did a very tasty apple crumble tho x
Opee and BBTHREE don't feel you have to catch up on all the posts to say hi. There is usually somebody around to chat to just pop in when you can. I'm glad Ronan is a contented baby it makes such a difference doesn't it. I hope you are not even thinking of starting any decorating yet??? I'm going to try and post a link to the owl picture it was so very easy:)
Caitlyn my lovely well mrs now woo hooo we've missed you. How's married life? Stay in your little bubble for as long as you can:) the washing will wait you won't be needing holiday clothes this week I don't think. You see what I mean about you having such a beautiful way with words, your phone was "taken" mine would have been pinched, robbed, nicked. I wish you luck with your GP it's not something most manchester GPs would see often! It's good to have you back tho xxx

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE, hope you have all had a good day! now mine are all grown up, i am missing being a mum :rotfl:no easter egg hunt, they all just wanted one egg 'mum you dont need to waste money' was what they told me but we did have a lovely easter roast (minus DS who is working in halls) i baked a lemon and almond cake and some bread pudding (not eastery but had been craving some for weeks) will put piccies on tomorrow, and of all things watched a horror film (as you do) :rotfl:Hampers went down well, DD1 friends mum welled up when DD1 took them round, thankyou for all your comments.

Thanks Nana

freespirit, glad the lady finally turned up!

I managed to learn and make a new craft today! A friend wanted me to help her paint a teapot with a Lionel Richie silhouette with the words "Is it TEA you're looking for" (still chuckling over that one!) and so I gathered all the tutorials for her and talked her through it. Anyway, it inspired me to have a bash at porcelain painting, so made this;

It's just cooling down from the oven, will then check to see if it's waterproof and start enjoying my tea from it

FEISTY I love the ceramic paintings, now i keep singing it, its one of those tunes that just go on and on in your head, and the mean mug a cuppa haha you are funny :T
Unfortunately didnt get chance to take photos of what i baked yesterday, had migraine today and when i got up to get some more water half of it had gone i still have more baking to do that i never got done this weekend, was expecting my DS and DN and DN and my DS to be home, and it has got to be done i cant afford to waste ingredients in these times. Hope everyone has had a lovely Easter weekend, Night....

P.S. MONEYSAVINGMUMOFONE how did DS party go? I bet you are shattered

dropsofjupiter

Celebrated the end of lent with a malteaser bunny Easter egg, two malteaser bunnies, a tube of mini eggs, 2 rolos and a chocolate and buttercream bun. Safe to say I feel a tad sick!

Oh and Feisty I love your Alice in Wonderland paper cut, my friend may well be getting it for her birthday!

Nanamia

Dropsofjupiter you deserve a chocolate overload after all that willpower
Freespirit sorry to hear about your migraine they are such nasty things. Hoping you'll be feeling better very soon I love that saying too one of the lovelies else where on this forum has that as her signature (Sethgran well she did I've not bumped into her recently)
Feisty you really are going from strength to strength go girl you deserve it.
Moneysavingmumofone I hope you have relaxed in a bubbly bath and are tucked up in bed by now but will be back tomorrow with tales of DS birthday bet it was brill and you've been on such good form lately so hoping you too had chance to enjoy xxx
My pleasure mumofthreeplusoh hope you find something

I'm so cold, not usually a problem for me but I was chilled to the bone at the footy earlier and haven't managed to warm up yet! Been for coffee at DSiL we do have such a giggle then popped to see my friend who is having the treatment managed to get her to smile a little when I worked out she only has 12 sessions to go. She's really uncomfortable and in a lot of pain she's arranged to spend the last five days of her chemo as an inpatient, it was a tough decision for her but she's seems more relaxed now she's made it Definitely a time to count my blessings xxx

Freespirit it felt so strange last night going to sleep without our evening posts but I had to retire early xxx

Linky I know you must be having fun, but you can't still be in that tree! Hope you are ok We miss you xxx

Hi all, sorry I haven't been on for ages, I had no time in the run up to the wedding and obviously it was the Saturday just gone so had a busy weekend!

I haven't caught up yet and we're flying out to America today for our honeymoon so won't catch up for a while, but I'm looking forward to having a massive catching up session when I get back!

We had a really lovely day on Saturday (albeit a tad cold!), thank you so much for all of your help and support beforehand.

Take care everyone, I look forward to catching up with you all soon! Xxx
