    Thankyou for the birthday wishes :)
    I have had a lovely day and been very spoilt.
    It's kind of funny actually my mum and dad wrapped up loads of fruit for me :/ 2 kinds of apples, pears, oranges... I was like thanks, I'm never going to be able to eat all this before it goes off.... Then then they pulled out the big pressie a juicer!! So excited!!
    now I'm off to google juicing :D

    Evening everyone
    morning everyone, I is back from the jollies, and had a wonderful time, despite the tube strike. Good to see that we are all still hi-kicking and dancing. Mrs G I feel for you, my DSIL had the same problems with her father, and although she made the decision that was right for her , other family members persuaded her to change her mind. She wishes she had stuck to her decision, now.
    Nanamia, great to see you back, just like you to go on a pool hunt without a net!
    B-E-G, well done, you, I think that the 7.5 you lost found me, too many lovely afternoon teas!
    OMO I think that dog is fabby, reacting to spiders like I do.
    Waiting now for Skype, and, DS1 is out there for another year, so China in June is back on the cards.

    MRSINVISIBLE so glad you have had a wonderful time, how was The Ritz? Oh what a shame DS1 has another year in China, i know how much you were looking forward to getting him home, but lucky you another trip to look forward to x
    Fingers will grow into it OMO :rotfl::rotfl:

    I think most of it must have been down to the fact I kept running to the loo. Not done that as much this week so it will probably only be a little loss this week (hopefully will be a loss and nothing else) :D

    Wow great loss msgigglewick you have done absolutely brilliantly. :T. I bet that 8lbs wont be around for too long once you get back in the zone. The gain is perfectly understandable.
    Did a little bit of housework this morning and some little bits of washing. It was chucking it down this morning but seems to be drying up a bit now. Think I will dedicate the rest of the day to stitching and catching up with stuff on the box that we have recorded. Going to give Prey a go as it is back on tonight.
    Enjoy the weekend everyone

    BEG oh i hope you enjoy Prey, i thought it was fab last week

    Thankyou Nanamia! x

    I have my first glass of juice :D 2 granny smiths, and 2 golden delicious, one a bit tart on its own, the other a bit sweet, beautiful together :)
    Have killed my mum though she had a sip of each and is having an allergic reaction, last year she suddenly became allergic to all fruits and nuts, she finds it VERY frustrating, she can't have all her favourite things :(

    Couldn't get into it freespirit. :( I think I was just too tired. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series. Last night we put Netflix on and tried three films before we got one we stuck with - Freedom Writers and it turned out better than expected.

    Waiting for oven to ping, then shower and then its off to SW :eek:

    Hope you've all enjoyed the long weekend - not long to wait til we have another one :D

    Happy belated birthday :) Apple Ginger and carrot juice is amazing! Easily one of my favourites :)

    Msg, just wanted to send you a hug, do what is right for you xxx

    Mrsi, boo about another year, but yay about the china trip :)

    Omo you did make me laugh with your quad story!

    Nana, glad you had a nice time pond shopping :) I've been quite good this weekend and stayed away from work :)

    We are having a good day at the moment :) we've realised that it is almost certain that we can have an actual house with a garden under the shared ownership scheme, and are so excited! I've been running around painting all our bargain furniture with Annie sloan paint (very MSE as it was left over from the shop) as the flat should be on the market by the end of the week! Fingers crossed for a quick sale and as close to the asking price as possible!
