    HH - sorry Sweatheart. If she is earning that much daily (more than me!!!!) she should pay the rent. You do Boots after the bills I think!

    Can I be very personal, if she earns that much, how much is the rent?

    I have never heard of yoghurt cake but I am very intrigued.... assuming it turns out okay please share the recipe and I'll give it a bash - how exciting!
    It did turn out well, I am dropping crumbs all over the key board as I type! The recipe was from here (where else? :rolleyes:) but it is very simple:
    1 carton plain yoghurt (approx 150grms)
    3 cartons SR flour
    2 cartons sugar
    1 carton sunflower/vegetable oil
    3 eggs
    splash vanilla essence
    mix well, into cake tin, into oven. I put it on the middle shelf for about 45 minutes, 170 degrees ish.
    It's very moist & light, almost like a madeira cake sort of texture.

    OMG

    I can't drive tonight - Had a G+T plus one red one! DD phoned to say back ache and BH again - still 4 weeks to go. The other Granny and Grandad will have to be on call (which I have been told they are having me done the midnight rush last time with case packed ready to go!) Don't know if I want to hear she is on her way - I will worry so much. She went into shock after DGS2 which was very worrying. Especially when she did when I arrived at hospital with DGS1 and SIL totally non-coherent with worry and I wasn't allowed to see her! SIl phoned us with No 1 at 6 am to say DGS1 imminent (3 weeks early and not ready) and I spent 3 hours totally spaced out and pacing. Have had three myself and now the DGSs but would go through it again if it helps her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Help, now feeling a bit stressed out, emotional but looking to the future!

    Didnt want to read and run. Not much I can say, take a deep breath bubbas come when they are ready unfortunately they like to keep us on our toes. If the baby is on the way then she will be in safe hands at the hospital.
    Thinking of you all tonight and will remember you in my prayers

    Hi!
    I haven't been around MSE for a couple of days, just doing other stuff for a change.

    grannybroon I think you should have another G & T! :D

    Hope everyone is ok and happy.
    I've been spending some time with my 2 DDs as they've had 2 weeks holiday from school. The kids have had a lovely 'extra' week off school and have spent most of it either playing outside with friends or we've been at the new local playground.
    We went to Croxteth Country Park on Wednesday with my mum and had a great time there. We took a picnic, the girls played in the kid's play area, flew a kite, scootered around on their scooters, had a ride on the mini train and only spent money on ice-creams, plus the weather was lovely.
    Yesterday I treated myself to a small mosaic style table for the garden. I've always wanted one and was surprised to accidently come across one in Matalan for only £30. So I've been enjoying both the weather and my table in the garden! :j
    The house has been cleaned, most of my schoolwork is done, I've made some sausage+bean pies for the freezer and tonight we had hm pizza with hm oven chips, instead of Friday's usual lazy tea! ;)

    (((Hugs))) Grannybroon! I agree babies come when they are ready, fingers crossed for you all! Green with envy here btw!
    Ivyleaf so sorry to hear about your cat (((Hugs))) awful for you all! Glad to hear about the new baby though.
    Filling went ok and it seems I might be able to have implant later, will be having a temp bridge fitted this month anyway. Just want to be able to eat properly again without all this discomfort. :o
    Pennypincher - hope the new meds are working and that you are feeling a wee bit better.
    Kyle - (((hugs))) keep going with the cbt it can help (it did for me) I suffer a bit from the opposite - claustiphobia!
    Right off to bed, hopefully a good nights sleep will help!
    Night night

    Well, I think you should go over to the Vent Board (Consumers, Tesco delivery!) GB has had to say a bit tonight as watching it today. There is a total troll on there! Let's get him off! The OP had (what I think) reasonable grounds for posting. See what you think.

    Thanks for your messages. Just so worried about DD but looking to the future. Just want my darling wee boy here safe and well. What will he look like, well, that is another question. Our two DGSs totally dis-similar but totally gorgeous of course! DGS1 looks favour our side, DGS2 favours DSIL side. DGS3 - well!!!

    Thanks for your support.

    Just spoken to her (DD). Do you think a third child thing, head engaging even more early? Just want to get her even another week on - 37 weeks termed as full-term. I think I am just in a panic Mum mode tonight, being tired.

    I am just so tired tonight and going over tomorrow for their Gala Day. DD said not to but I want to share it with them and the boys.

    Love GB xxxx

    Grannybroon - having 2 little GDs, I know what it is like waiting to know if "the call" will come! Very exciting, but frustrating & worrying too! Hope all goes well, whenever it all happens!
