My goodness it's windy outside. Can hear it howling around the house! Was hoping to walk to the Wetherspoons for a meal but it's too yucky. Ordered a curry instead and watched 'Valentines Day' on DVD. Love the Julia Roberts line in the end credits. Hubby has bought me 'About Time' on dvd so we'll try and watch that tomorrow. Also got a lovely earring and necklace set and some L'occitane smellies. Bless him. Gave him some beers, a herb planter set and will be taking him to see a show in a couple of weeks.
Bit disappointed that I haven't heard from my best friend today. She usually sends a tweet or text to wish me Happy Valentines day.

I finished my second crochet scarf this afternoon. Now I need to figure out the next project. Think YouTube might come in useful as the written instruction are just confusing!

I can hear our recycling bins slamming against the wall. They'll be half way up the road by the morning! Blossom is happily hunting a tin foil ball. Poor cat hasn't had much outdoor time today. She tries, then the wind picks up, so she comes trotting in.

Today's quote

My favourite one yet ;) Hope you are ok OMO you are a bit quiet today x

FEISTY hope you and dh have a lovely day tomorrow

MSGIGGLEWICK glad you and dh had a lovely valentines dinner, thanks for the tips on the cheesecake will remember that

RUTHHONEY oh everyone has been going mad about that film About Time on twitter, it was recommended by Kirsty Allsopp and loads of people have watched it and all reckon its a really good film, so hope you enjoy, your valentines presents sound lovely

b_e_g apparently the phone call went well? I heard the words just couldn't make head n tail of them haha. Photos are to be taken of sloping roof and they're to be emailed along with more measurements, they will then return a quote and we will see or plan B they will be shockingly overpriced and I will be off to ikea to look at their selection. The ball isn't quite rolling but it's on the spot ready xxx
Ruth hello there what a beautiful thing to say, lovely way to start the day. Can I nosey? What are you reading now? I started two more Trisha Ashley's but I'm not good with witchcraft etc even if it's meant to be light hearted so had to delete I am reading something but it's not doing much for me ha. Stay safe xxx
Mrsinvisible hope DGS got his fountain pen I didn't realise they still used them! Your spring baskets sound lovely, just the thing to cheer your friends up. What a lovely friend you are I imagine you already know this but our train tickets were only £12.50 each way, there are bargains out there xxx
Mrs M glad DS has sorted the confusion! still it was very scary and better not happen again. Enjoy your weekend xxx
Mandco oh no not another migraine it's a really great idea to log them in a diary, hopefully you will find the trigger and you can say goodbye to them. Art and crafts for preschools sounds fun. DGD2 has spent the day with us (chest infection so off nursery) to say it wasn't one of the easiest days I've had would be an understatement! She has been, shall we say testing today. DD took her home around six and rang at eight to see if I could sit in while she whipped to the Trafford Centre, thankfully DGD2 just wanted a cuddle and to watch the Nativity, so the day ended beautifully xxx
Msgigglewick yep! I was thinking along the same lines! it'd be like in an American movie Wow. I could whip round and wrap Linkys present stash and do Mrs M's ironing, Mrsinvisible would make us spring baskets, Nicki would paint our windows Freespirit could make us Nigellas Christmas cupcakes, you could do cheesecake, Pixtotts could do cake pops Ruth could run the book club ( tho keep an eye on her cos she does way too much exercise for my lazy liking-ha), b_e_g could help me declutter, Feistys dogs would keep the BD at bay, gosh we'd be awesome xxx
Pixtotts Oooh are you sure it's not 37 calories per crumb brownies? I'm with Lazysheep think just drooling over Msgigglewicks cheesecake recipe and photo has used a weeks syns xxx
Freespirit the answer is simple- don't clean! Although at least if you are moving you'll hopefully be keeping warm. The response from your HA or lack of it is shocking, it'll be Monday now will it? xxx
Feisty aww bless you Well you do know that I will be holding you to your word don't you? Remember I have spies everywhere Enjoy your weekend together before DHs return to work on Monday. Wishing him lots of luck for that too xxx

Linky you are very quiet! you know that unnerves me xxx

Nanamia

Oh my word Freespirit I just said the exact same thing about Linky we will be finishing each other's sentences soon xxx

Oooh pizza, delicious,well I don't like actual pizza but I love cheesy garlic bread, more drooling and another lb on at the thought of it. xxx

Morning all,
Had a busy few days here the bathroom decorating is almost finished just a towel rail to put up, the IKEA trip went well dd found a wardrobe she liked its being delivered today before 1pm.
I *suggested* to dd that now she is almost 17 it was time to reduce the amount of toys she has usually she has to get used to the idea for a while then sorts stuff out but to my surprise she has bagged a load of stuff including almost all her sylvanian toys for the charity shop !
The dog keeps ram raiding the bags as he likes to play with the figures so we have to keep chasing the little furry thief to get them back .
Hope you are all safe and dry today.

:hello: Hi everyone

Hope everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day!

I was at a colleagues birthday party last night. I did enjoy it but I always struggle to keep up with the conversation as the music is so loud! Does anyone else find that they have this problem?

The creme egg cheesecake does look lovely! It might just be a little too sweet for me though.

Amey - Hopefully you will achieve your promotion!
