mum2one

Got to say my mother nearly had an accident 2ngt ....... we went to see Hairy Bikers, and Si King came and stood right behind us, leaning on back of our chairs i saw what he was doing mum didn't. so nudged her - she jumped out of her seat.

I have never laughed so much for ages - they are brilliant, from cooking, the extracts of previous shows, they were jokers, serious, but amazing. There bringing a new cookery series on BBC2. xx

Katie - thats a gd price for the mags - of anyone sees an offer for Spirit and Destiny, or Take a break - fate and fortune plz shout.

Miss Hoodie pulled a lovely stunt last ngt on nanny + grandad Hoodie, they moaned that no-one ever brought them breakfast in bed - (he's up at 5.30am) - so 12.01 this morning she made them both a cup of tea and toast - it was funny.

We had a gd day out, went to our fav icecream farm - it snowed - Miss Hoodie loved it - they have a games room upstairs £5 for an hr all machines free - def get moneys worth.
ice cream was lush had contrieau and orange the other side Pancakes with syrup.

Were just putting the finishing touches to Santas challenge - will try to be gentle!! all ready 2mor afternoon.

The car - it was mine as needed petrol - hos lordship drove - hos excuse foorce of habit - best - we go over this little bridge and your stomach does come up - just before the bridge - him "goign slower than normal the cars not use to the bridge and don't want to push it to far"

He did confess tonight that if I hadn't brought it he would have done!! xx

Love the stunt, mum2one! Miss Hoodie played a good one there I'd love to go to an ice cream farm! Looking forward to the challenges as I'm needing something to take my mind off recent events irl.

My Sister in Law and family brought back the stockings I had made for Christmas from red fleece blanket material and some white fake fur fabric. This means I'll be able to fill them again for next year and won't need to do so much of the crafting aspect. Now I think I'll be on the lookout for small items that can fit into them!

You've just reminded me I have a couple of weeks' of Take A Break to finish and put in. Winning a competition would be an awesome help!

Hi all

Love reading what is going on with you all, never heard of an ice cream farm.

Although I had a very good start a few weeks ago when I got on with things, it's back to square one this week - avoidance.

However, I did clean the fridge. Help may be needed as it had a strange smell - like food gone off. It still has that smell after the clean. So does the freezer - any idea what to get rid of it?.

Have had the most awful cold. Feeling better now though. Hope everyone else ok. Has any one seen the giant 1kg dairy milk bars in any shops? was thinking of getting one each for the kids and then take them to cadburys world for easter.

Snap, I ended up having most of the week off work but feeling better now

There is a Cadburys outlet up my way that sells them pretty cheap (sorry can't remember exact price) its near Durham, don't know if thats any good for you. Sounds like a great alternative to easter eggs

Have just realised you are from Wales... Durham slightly to far to go for some chocolate then :rotfl:

I have seen those large bars, I bought one a few months back, think they were in Superdrug
