Hello to everyone, I've got loads of biscuits we haven't touched yet:)

Well today hasn't quite gone to plan. Didn't hear the alarm go off, so DH and I didn't make the gym this morning and we also missed putting the rubbish out! Have been sitting here reading and watching TV, so must get a move on.

Dinner tonight will be fishcakes & chips with the rest of the chocolate gateau from yesterday. was very nice, bought in Ald* for christmas, but didn't get round to eating it.

The wm has just finished so will go and sort that out and do some ironing and tidying up. Haven't taken the decs down yet so will probably do that as well. Lovely bright day here so hope to get out for a short walk as well as we didn't set foot outside yesterday!

Hope you all have a great day take care.

(miracles do happen DS has actually got up :rotfl:)

Afternoon all.
Finished at 6 am, so just woken up by 5 year and a barbie doll:o

Coffee and Terry chocolate orange segments in bed:D
OH and kiddlies taking done x mas stuff, be good to see it gone for another year.
Need to get the lamb mince in the slow cooker for today's shepards pie.
Also need to pop out for toliet roll and milk. Really want to get a nice big bag of fruit to counteract all the junk we have eaten.
Washing machine needs to go on and I need to sort out pe kits and just make sure uniform is done.
Which isn't going to happen from my pit.
Another coffee first I think.
Help yourself to x mas cake which I appear to have in abundance

Hello everyone

At work today, so not much OS going on. Still haven’t got back into the swing of things. My daughters are away at their dads and I haven’t really been shopping. Think the bread at home is mouldy and the milk is on the turn. If I didn’t have my kids, I’d probably never shop at all! Next week though, when school starts and they are home, things will get back to normal.

Because of the above, I had to buy lunch today. But £3 for a meal deal at Mr T can be a treat for me, me thinks.

Might go to my mums tonight after work. Haven’t decided, but will have to go home first to get my muttley as she likes staying at the grandparents.

Not sure if I’m working tomorrow or Sunday yet as boss hasn’t asked. I always go in on the weekend if he asks and I haven’t got the girls as I’m not having to pay for childcare, so I might as well make a few quid.

Need to call tax credits to tell them about my change in work hours, but they never pick up the phone! Might try again later.

My Xmas tree is still up. My mum will sort all that out next week when she is back looking after my girls while I work. She has this thing about it being up till 6th January, so I’ll just let her get on with it.

Talking of veg and meat boxes, I can’t decide whether or not to do this. Is it more expensive than the supermarket?

Think my dinner tonight might be some kind of microwave meal. I don’t get in till 6 and cos my daughters are away, don’t really have anything in that I could actually cook.

Hello!
so it snowed on our walk Kettern Hill i think it is called. I slipped a bit on the way down and did a bit excitingly on my bum. Quite fast but very cold on the bus back!
I have been promised leftover HM minestrone soup for lunch which surely counts as OS.
no shopping but did have bus fares.
no decs here or at the house we are selling and very few where we have moved too...i sorted them out for shipping before Christmas and was not about to unpack again!
The rest of the day will be restful. Hope it is for you as well.

System

'Youngest' just come back from his driving lesson. His instructor recons he is progressing faster than the average.... I fed him a few chocolates and he's booked his theory test.:D

Everyone who leaves the house gets force fed chocolate to save me and hubby eating it.:D

Biscuits have gone upstairs for 'Youngest' to finish off. There will be a severe tongue lashing from me if I find crumbs on the floor as I have a 'no eating upstairs' policy..... He gets away with it at times though.

Oh and ive burned a pizza. I guess it will be me that's eating it.

Good afternoon.

I dropped off the OS wagon around Sept last year but over Christmas rediscovered my way again.:j

Today OH and I have taken the decs down (used my new shiny Dyson to get the glitter up - best Christmas Present this year!), put the washing machine on (why is the hamper still full?), defrosted some HM soup for lunch (said soup was made just before morning sickness kicked in so its been in the freezer for a good two months ) and got the crabs out the freezer for tea tonight.

As above posters have said, plenty of biscuits here so no need to bake. I was going to have a NSD but just had to order a black ink cartridge.

Afternoon all,

Lovely sunny day here, cold but have been able to get 3 machine loads of washing on line, well, OH has put them out, god knows how he will have hung them, but they will still be better dried outside.

Felt quite energetic when I got up, in addition to washing I have made a pot of soup, which is still simmering and smelling good on the hob...will have some later as had a big meal earlier and wont need much. Unfortunately, I seem to be having no trouble consuming any amount of chocolates that come my way.....thats the next thing to be dealt with!

Hoping to start physiotherapy early next week, have been doing exercises from sheet given me by clinic, but would like a bit of human direction....I am pleased with my progress, so maybe I am doing ok, looking forward to getting out of the surgical stockings and being able to turn on my side to sleep, but thats just being picky I think.

Looking forward to seeing DD4 & Co later, they have been away for last few days and I miss them, only minus is that Bran will be going home with them and will miss him....I am becoming a cranky old biddy, no satisfying me any more!

Enjoy the weekend

Made DH a full English for breakfast and boiled egg and soldiers for DDs.

Went online to get return's label for a parcel to be returned later and checked bank statement online as well.

Used up some pork pie for lunch and made home made chips to go with it and might make pork and mushroom pie for tonight to use up the home made pulled pork I had yesterday. Can't wait to clear out the fridge a bit so I can see exactly what I have and use up veg for soups and stir fries.

Was about to go out when phone rang for DH from gas company - when I went out in the cold garden to get him it turned out they wanted to sell him a service we had cancelled over a year ago

The next blasted company that calls me to to try to sell me stuff, to tell me someone had had an accident and could claim, tells me about PPI, insulation grants or that my computer has a virus is going to get a long introduction to some olde Anglo Saxon language.

Tempted to record a message telling anyone phoning to go forth and multiply but with my luck would probably startle the GP, the hospital dealing with DH or a relative.

Elona anyone who calls our landline gets a recorded message telling them to ring Mr LW's mobile - but not giving the number. Anyone genuine (eg friends, horse-piddle, GP etc) will have it already; anyone else can go and play on the M1 as far as we're concerned.;)

The only people I answer my mobile to are Mr LW and the dog-sitting franchisee, both of whom have their own assigned ringtones. Anyone else gets to talk to my voice mail.

Not a terribly good start to the year - looks like my flare is getting worse; spent most of yesterday completely flaked out; and my butterfly rash is driving me nearly demented.

Well today hasnt gone as planned. Viewed house and no wonder it was cheap (talk about altering the pics to draw you in) had a very musty smell and major damp in the kitchen so we wont be taking that one. Looked around at a few more from the outside but decided against them for different reasons. Just got first load of washing drying now as today has run away from me.
DH has major toothache and cant get into the dentist till the 7th so looks like he will be living on soft foods till then (bang goes the menu plan)
anyhoo still healthy and have a roof over my head so mustn't grumble to much.
Hugs x
