    Happy Friday

    Lobs tiny turnips (english) and shouts with joy, almost the weekend folks. Hope you're all doing something fun.

    (Turnips wrapped in recycled bubblewrap obviously don't want to hurt anyone).

    :D

    Ooh looks nice, ADDING TO REPERTOIRE :j. I had a sweet potato, salad and beans today with a few pickles. That was rather nommy as well. Not decided on evening meal yet.

    Thinking of a nice soup, as meals seem to have got muddled up this week and we are having lots of larger ones for mid day rather than the other way around. :D

    Happy Friday Pipster:j Glad of bubblewrap, helps the old bruises:rotfl:

    I seem to be doing my good samiritan bit this weekend and helping the neighbour with her annual insurance trawl. I wonder if i can beat last years? Challenge on:D

    Also will be taking a leaf out your good book and tackling the garden. Mr.B is not a natural gardener=younger version of himself is also not a natural gardener, but will at least have a go.:o Anyhoo the weeds have prevailed once again and i don't like using weed killer as we have a lot of animals ( cats and also hedgehogs around) so wouldn't want to hurt them..even if they do poo a lot in the garden ( cats that is:cool:)

    Meant to say i bagged myself a bargain with the Hi Tec trainer code on the main page. Sadly my other trainers died a death ( they cost a tenner about three years ago) I washed them in the machine and the bottoms fell off. Even i couldn't rescue them :/

    Well along comes a code and i now have another pair for £11 ish. With inflation and everything, i didn't think that was too bad :D

    Now to ramp it up even further :D

    Happy Friday folks. Enjoy your weekend. Bob x

    Been a busy old day with one thing and another.

    Helped a neighbour renew their car insurance-beat last years quote and got her the much sought after Oleg :D

    Cooked up a storm in the kitchen. Not literally although i feel like it could get stormy outside any minute.

    Todays offerings have been:

    Sweet potato and a lovely veg omelette
    Butternut squash soup
    Chicken and bacon parcels with fresh veg.
    Two new loaves ( I made them) and lots of fresh fruit..i am being very good :D

    Two lots of washing done and on airers as weather is Iffy.

    Place tidied-was hoping to do the lawns, but didn't with the weather.

    So that's me done for today. :D

    I am already falling into bad habits by not updating:p

    Trainers arrived today and i have to say they are wonderfully comfortable:D And a bargain:money:..

    I am getting used to new phone and it is a lower contract amount :D
    It is also less pervy than the other one ( it was very good at changing words to rude things:o)

    We went slightly over budget at the weekend on food. This will recoup back over the next few weeks as plenty of stock in and we have a £15 off Morrisons coupon to use, plus money off petrol ( it is still the cheapest in the area)

    Gas and electric, finally sorted out i hope re taking payments. Now i have to get the rest owed me..honestly i can't believe how they act.

    Other than that housework and more housework....Pah!
