halight

I'm back from forest school.
It was cold but Good all the little one's who have been doing it have all really enjoyed it.

I do have to say I think its a good idea, on the part of the Government. Around our area. there are places of extremism poverty, and not all the kids have there own gardens or gardens of grand parents or others that they can go out in and explore. There are local parks and woodland. But not all of this can be used safely.

I live In an area were there are some very rich people. and some very nice areas, And then just down the road you have complete s£it holes Which truly are bad.
I live In the good end of a bad end if you know what I mean. Around were I am there are problems. But crime is not that high. There are many good people still living here. that respect the area and other people. And there are some very good people that still believe in helping others out when ever they can.
Down the road its not like that.
The school that sits right on our door step is a problem school. That is undergoing big changes at the moment, just to try and stop it from being closed down. The school were my kids go is a very very good school and we were very lucky to get our kids in there.
But I believe we should give every kid the same chance in life.
People often talk about what sort of world are we leaving to our kids.

I have come to believe that what ever sort of world we leave them dose not matter.

I have come to ask, What sort of values are will instilling into our Kids.

We might not be able to teach each and everyone of them how to read and do maths. But if we tech them the right values, Then what ever happens to them in life and in the world they will be able to get though,

It's picking the right ones that's the problem!

Evening All

Rosyred - Big hugs to you, hope Leo is comfortable.
LW - I agree with you, it's not the fact that horsemeat is present if only people knew. I'm glad I always cook from scratch but will be checking the mince now! Usually only eat chicken and fish - well it looks like chicken and fish!!
Tina - Hope you manage the visit tomorrow.
Judi - My friend has a DS who is doing exactly the same thing, hugs to you.
Welcome to Mumlady and Lolalemon, it's good here.

Back to work today till lunchtime and then I had an interview, I can do the job but it's difficult trying to convince the employer when I am not actually doing it at the moment! I was asked what experience I had regarding payroll and I had to say absolutely none! Decided that honesty is the best policy but can't see that I will be offered the position.

LO chicken with stir fry veg and noodles for tea, washing on airers and not a lot else. I am trying to get warm, been cold all day. DD will be battling the football crowds to get home as the green team of Glasgow are playing a big match today so it's very busy there.

Take care. XX

Evening all!
Car load of assorted carp and unnecessary items taken to the dump, carload of assorted mugs, glasses, handbags from DD's room, and majority of OH's clothes taken to the hospice shop, DS has adopted his kilt which will never fit him, hadn't fitted Iain for more years than I can tell you! Still have his leather jacket in the wardrobe, and have yet to sort out the holiday clothes which are in a vacuum bag in the suitcase, however it looks like DB and his wife have separated and he is coming home from the states, he has lost his job and they are always penniless, so am fully expecting him to arrive with a carry on bag as luggage so he will maybe be able to make use of some of the clothes, will save me and mum having to totally kit him out! Good job mum kept her spare room and didn't change it into a dining room as was planned!
So, a busy if emotional day, and that's before I sort his drawers and the top of the wardrobe for his treasures, which will include all his birthday, crimbo and valentines cards, that's definitely a job for another day!
Will now reward myself with a glass of wine, and find something other than the footie to watch, although will hear the neighbours cheering if the green team score!

Hi chums great day out with my pal at Bluewater and managed to get a birthday present for my Dds ma-in-law in Boots and still have some cash left on my voucher.I also treated myself in John Lewis to a nice natural sponge for my bathroom I had been promising myself one for ages I know they are a bit pricey but it will definitely see me out at £18.50 !!!
My pal bought lunch and we split a ticket and went and saw 'Lincoln' I did enjoy it even though it was a bit long and we both said D/D/lewis is a fine actor.Popped in and made some pancakes for the boys on my way home and now am back at home in the warm its blooming freezing outside ,roll on the spring
Welcome to the newbies you will enjoy it on here we are all reasonably matey and at times a bit dippy:) but on the whole if you need an answer to a question about almost anything someone will come up with it

RR - sorry to hear about Leo, like any parent, you,ll make the best choice when the time is right x

Jooles - ((hugs)), baby steps, no hurry x

Looking forward to a week off next week, don,t really need half term off, youngest 15 soon, but I will enjoy it whilst they still need me - probably spend the week waiting for them to come home, but at least it will give me a chance to give the kitchen a major clean up and do some freezer cooking.

Had HM steak pie and mash for dinner, made 2 a while ago, and they were lush, def use brisket again, a £5 piece made loads - bargin....

Hope your all okay xx

RosyRed

Mmm pancakes-I had one with Nutella,so did Dh,DSons had lemon & sugar,DGD wasn't too keen

I've got some basic mince in the fridge,I got it to tempt Leo but he hasnt to have red meat now.It says British beef packed in GB but how can you be sure now :eek:

Hugs Judi

Thanks all for your supportive comments about Leo,and your lovely post Halight-I hope you get another dog one day.We are taking it day by day,and he was in good shape before this,never been ill.Spoke to my bro earlier,they had their dog PTS 2 weeks ago and he's been on hol from work this week and realised how quiet it was now.

Right off to watch murder in paradise x

Hi all, back from work, yay mmm sausages and mash (well, mashed cauliflower!) for tea and a chocolate snackajack with a cuppa to finish, bliss.
Made pancakes for teenage sons and hubby for afternoon tea. I was very good and didn't have one.
House looks like a tip, hubby and sons have a talent for messing up a tidy house :rotfl: but I think I'll relax tonight, get to bed earlyish and tidy up (again!) tomorrow.
Night everyone
