morning all

God my kids will not stop arguing about what to watch on the tv. Its driving me insane. I have given them a warning, then I am turning the tv off. I have had to take the PS2 off my ds as he punched DD.

Today I shall be meeting my sister for coffee & cakes. Then I have to see the psychiatrist. I saw some people from the resource therapy centre yesterday. Hopefully I'll get some relaxation courses or summit with them.

My friend have me a x-stitch set last week bless her. I have started that. but its been years since I last did it so I am slow atm. Also I need to get a needle with a bigger hole!

Kids have had breakfast. I shall wait for my cake!

Kids have packed lunch. I shall have 'whatevers' (whatever need eating in the fridge!)

Dinner: kids have fish & chips (HM!) & I have ratatoulle left so will have with baked spud with cheese

Anyway off to get ready for school run & get kids ready

Today's mission is to go to the doctors. My knee has swollen up so I'm off to ask for some help. Bit difficult to stay off it when I have a 6 month old.

I also need to see how much chicken OH managed to scrape of the sunday dinner chicken last night. So far its done 2 meals and I want to try to make it 3. Its either a pie....or curry. Not sure yet....

Good morning everyone.

Hope everyone is well. Sky looks quite promising here today. Not a lot to report, just saying hi really.

My list today is hoovering and ironing probably, more washing. Few phone calls to make. Going to let a workman into a friends house for him. Out for dinner with some friends tonight which will be really nice.

N9eav Hope you catch something and have a great day.

annie Sorry to hear about XDH. Must be frustrating. Am sure Monday will be great for you and the children though

jet Benson sounds fab, watching animals (especially when they are being funny) always makes me smile, good for the soul to have them around I think!

Hugs to anyone who needs one x

Crumble Slices (microwave)

6oz butter/marg
6oz dark soft brown sugar
60z porridge oats
7oz plain flour
pinch of salt
1/2 tsp baking powder
4oz jam

Lightly grease an 8" square baking dish (I use my ceramic "Lasagne" dish as it's microwave safe)
Cream the fat and sugar together.
Stir in the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly.
Press half of the mixture into the baking dish.
Melt the jam in the microwave for 30 secs and then spread the jam over the base.
Crumble on the remaining oat mixture, pressing it down lightly.
Bake in the microwave for 7 minutes (full power).
Cut into squares and cool in the baking dish.

rchddap1 - good luck at the Dr's, hope you manage to get an appointment!

Sorry I haven't been around much lately but there has been loads going on. The exams are over and I must admit I'm not feeling to great about the whole thing, I have a really sinking feeling that I may have failed. To top it off as well Mr Tink and I had a huge bust up when we were all out celebrating on Friday resulting in us not speaking for most of the weekend apart from us saying that we don't think we can be in the relationship anymore.

It all came to a head on Sunday and whilst we agree we both still love each other we're not sure we're in love if you know what I mean. Not sure where to go from here to be honest, he said he wants to make it work but I don't know if I'm past the point of no return. I just don't know what to do to be honest.

Anyway enough of my moping:

Roz_V - I hope your exam went better than mine

scuzz - I watched the programme and I was disgusted. If you could PM me the link that would be great.

Hope everyone else is keeping OK, I haven't had a chance to catch up yet so as always take or leave the :grouphug: as needed

Morning All

(((Hugs))) to all esp tinkerbelluk

Jet - love the name Benson - have fun with him. Love our puppy he really is an asset to our family.

Well sun is shining here in Essex at the moment, only got one load of washing done yesterday as the heavens opened. Would like to do some more today but tiler is tiling the floor so think it will be out of bounds.

As I have a new cooker that actually cooks at the temperature that I set it at I started baking again yesterday. Made blueberry muffins for DS, never made them before and they came out really well. He is very fussy with breakfast and they will be perfect. My kitchen will be totally finished by Bank Hol monday and will really start baking then.

Today have a massive to do list in my office, have emptied dw and made packed lunches. Not sure what is for dinner tonight as think it is my turn to run DS & friends to football so will be there when I normally would be cooking dinner so think probably something on toast for us all.

Have a great day.

MORNING ALL hugs to anyone who needs or wants one.

Not much to report here. Weather is really special here at the mo beautiful & bright as I walzed up carnaby street this morning.

Managed to finally get quite a lot of adminy type stuff done yesterday pm, including sorting out some billing stuff that had been outstanding for a while adn other odds and ends. Hope to get some more stuff done today at work.

Work is still completely dead. I just find it SO hard to stay positive. I jsut sit here while im at work and fair enoguh i do get mse, and the run of the internet all day long, but I think about all the other more positive thingsa I could be doing, sorting the gardne out, washing, going for nice walks, shopping

Maybe letting agent might show her face today, shes meant to be doing our inspection, but keeps messing us around.

No breakfast for me but just eaten a tracker on the go on my way into work
lunch will be spaghetti hoops on toast
dinner is pork chops, moroccan veg & chickpea casserole & couscous

HAVE a great day y'all :wave:

Morning all

Hugs to everyone especially Kyle, Annie and Tinkerbell and everyone else who is feeling under the weather or could just use one Been up since 6am, had another rotten night sleepwise but I'm feeling a lot brighter despite the fuzzy headache. DH is off to work, so his pack up is done (hmm I could stay in bed for another hour if I made his pack up the night before, would sandwiches be okay overnight in the fridge?) Changing my meal plan slightly today, got loads of cheap lean GFY mince in Asda last night so making a spag bol for tea with salad and will make up some extra for the freezer and also a couple of lasagne's. DH complained that there had been no cake in his pack up since Thursday so better do some baking as well today lol!

Have decided that I can't keep moping around, and as I'm dealing with our finances and trying to get that side of life in order. I should now start to work on sorting out the house, we're a family of horders and collect more stuff than we actually need, and are very reluctant to part with things I beat myself up over the clutter and how untidy the place is sometimes but with everything else that is going on housework isn't always a priority

So today I'm going to tackle sorting out some drawers to make more space, today my 'knicker drawer' gets it, time to admit that I'm never going to fit into those brand new size 12's so they have to go! DH said if I get the clothes sorted he'll go put them in the Asda clothes collection bin later, will salvage old tshirts for dusters but the rest can go, no more, ohhh well I may just slim down that much one day!!!! Hmmm I will get thinner but I'll never be a 12 without looking very ill, lower than a 16 and my family start sending round food parcels (hmmmm now that would be a good way of getting cheap food lol )
I'm hoping to get some books together to put on Amazon as well and maybe make an ebay pile, although have heard that selling on ebay isn't so good these days, is anybody else having success with ebay?
Got some pressies to wrap for a friend who's just had a baby as well, DH will take them to the PO later for me, a little bit of work to do and some light housework then I may venture out into the garden if it doesn't rain. Have a good day everyone, heres hoping that all poorlies get better ASAP and domestic bliss will grace us all soon (can you tell I'm trying to be more optimistic lol!)
