Thanks fairy and oa thank you for being so understanding

I was unsure about whether to post something like that as i was afraid of being slammed for not answering.:o

Well got a couple of days of lunches made.
Found three sad wrinkly looking tomatoes in the bottom of the fridge so have made a chickpea curry, as well as a risotto made with chicken stock and some sad looking cooking bacon.

Hopefully that will keep the hunger away for a bit.

Going to attempt to make some sweet things later but not sure yet. Will see how i feel. I may have a group of hungry hoards coming tomorrow, they is a charity fun day on. My house is going to be the escape place if its to much for the kids.

I never give my phone number out so it solves the problem of anyone trying to call me.

30 nana muffins in the oven, all the nanas seemed to turn at the same time this week....I've put 6 nanas in the freezer for another time. Nana muffin with custard for pud tonight then!

Was lovely and cool here last night and I put the duvet back on the bed, best nights sleep in weeks!

Hi all, had a busy day yesterday, up at 6.30 to walk Rosie,then meet up with Db to follow him in his van at 8am, to the garage ...15 miles away at 40mph! He had no brake lights.Took him home, Rosie for walk, pick up Db to go back to garage, ' please follow me half way home in case brake lights still don't work ' Rosie out for another walk so by now tired, done nothing else all day, glass of wine in the garden looking at the latest deep hole 'the dodgy ' has dug in the border!!
Today mowed the remains of the lawn and painted the bottom of the outside wall in black gloss, phew!
Rosie was spayed at 8 months and she is a calm easy going hound, it hasn't made any difference to her nature., just keep her quiet for a couple of days, she will soon get over the op.

fuddle the chair looks lovely, very cottage like. I image it with a floral cushion 'cath kidston' style print of flowers. I have wicker linen box possibley Lloyd loom and I am waiting to spray this white for my bathroom. Found on a car boot for £2. Don't ya just love a bargain!!

Nutty - you can use emulsion on the Lloyd Loom box, I find it easier to get into all the nooks and crannies with a brush than a spray can. I always snap them up when I see them at boot fairs (the ottomans too) and give them an overhaul, I've sold loads on. I picked up a different style one this year that's a cross between a side table and sewing box, I've painted it vivid purple to go in my conservatory (I water the emulsion down slightly to stop it being so gloppy)

Fuddle - a crochet cushion would look fab, a round one in brights (in Attic 24 style). Lovely chair.

I'm guessing Possession is on hols, not seen her in FB land either.

Kezlou agree with Fuddle and ArthriticOldThing, unfortunately the calls are automatically generated. When I had problems with student finance and not knowing when I'd get my money, I had the same issue so I know how stressful it can be! Hang in there, we're all standing with you

Thanks Mrs Chips!!

I think I’m worrying over nothing. I’ve been through much more with my male. You’ve put my mind at rest now!!

Just waiting for OH to get home. He called me earlier saying that he’s home early today. Will make a nice change to have some extra hands (Well one haha) I’ve mowed the garden this morning and tried lopping the cherry tree back as its growing right over my washing line. Had enough of cherry stains and bird poo on my clean washing.

I’m still in the process of writing my winter prep sheet up. Why is it, When your pottering about you can name fifty things, Yet, Come writing it and your lucky if you remember one!

I also found a shed load of candles from last Christmas, Which means I think we’ve a clear stock of those now. At least that part of my list is done.

Oh has just rang, he's on his way home. Hes been stung by a wasp/bee but it went up his shorts leg and it stung him somewhere very delicate. On a serious note do you think he will need any treatment. When I was stung on my foot I ended up in a & e. I hope hes ok, he was crying when he called.

I would make a doctors appointment, They have been saying for some time now because of the change in weather stings are becoming slightly more dangerous and even those who normally aren’t effected are suffering with the outcome of reactions.

Please being in a sensitive area, He may not have got all the sting out!!
