That there is some mega good bargains RT.

I may forgive you all for thinking I don't actually look like a lady sometimes :P

And miniskirts with dark tights and flat boots rock by the way. And, as I am very small, its the only kind of skirt that doesn't swamp me

Mila thank you

Cheery I'll dig out a list thanks for the tip.

Caz its scary isn't it hope your trip has been fun.

Beanie it was yumshous



And thanks for all the in the black pats on the back, must admit it does feel odd but lovely.

Well done that lady. When do they arrive here

DS has gone to work. I'm largely tidying up and hoping the sun might make its scheduled appearance.

:cool:

Well it's not actually raining here so that's a good start Good flowery bargains RT! :money: And pippi I quite agree about skirt/boots combination - for some reason I've been all dresses or jeans this year but when it gets cold again... (who am I kidding, it's cold enough NOW! :eek: :rotfl: )

110f/43c here today and not a cloud in the sky. Good swimming pool weather. Last weekend we took the two yr old (cutie pie) GD to one of the outdoor city pools in Albuquerque. Brought back many wonderful memories of hot summer afternoons spent there with my children. I loved to sun bath and my six little ones loved the water.

12 oC here yesterday Mila - pool sounds ace.

Cheery good morrow dear heart and Beanie I managed to take my hat off by t-time when the sun came out what about you.

It came to me at 5am after a few random messages yesterday - that next week we will have not one, not two, but three sets of unco-ordinated and unexpected visitors this coming week. All clutching their pj's, one for family, one for work, one for a birthday treat.

Who knew I was a birthday treat. I sure didn't until last night.

So I duly got up and went in the garden whilst I can.

The more the merrier I guess eh?

Aww Pips - you are like the Pied Piper for visitors!

A warm and lovely heart is what's attracting them to you!

:D:D

Ah RT if you'd seen me at 7am this morning, hoover in hand, you'd not have thought of me as warm and fuzzy.



15 minute bursts though and its almost looking homey again. Since DS has brought all of his stuff its a bit over loaded, so need to work on that a bit.

Beds made, bed rota done (lol) and food out freezer. Bathrooms sparkly and one load of washing out on the line.

I've decided to try and empty the freezer this week with all the random visitors surely we can use up most of that grub?

Meal plan
Sun - me and him, snacks and a wee salad mainly
Monday us +2 - salmon steaks (reduced) with salady things.
Tuesday us only - cod lion, rissoto and veg
Wednesday us+2 - roast chook - just taken out freezer, defrosting in fridge
Thursday us +1 + DSS = special fried rice? Or leftover roast dinner pie.
Friday us+1+ds+2 new ones - lamb mince bolgenese, brownies
Saturday Us+1+DS +MIL? - ? Maybe a takeaway?
Sunday Us +2 new ones + DS - ? Lamb shanks 5 in freezer cooked.

MONDAY BOARDING UP WINDOWS AND HIDING.

This means something quite, quite different over on my thread..... :rotfl::rotfl: But maybe a hoover is the answer - a wet & dry one, natch....... :rotfl:

Menu looks wonderful! Just remember, if you are too good of a cook and feed them too well they will all want to come back.
