    Whee, the bunnies are multiplying! ;)

    I'm not likely going to be able to post later today, but here are my prospective pleasures for the day

    1) Getting a bit of exercise - improving my swimming - so I suppose that's a skill that could one day be useful. When we're all underwater I can swim to the shops and save money :D
    2) A lovely roast dinner
    3) The final Moto GP race of the year
    4) Hopefully getting a sit down later on
    5) A nice hot bath at the end of the day!

    lilmisskitkat - posting on here is great. It really makes you look for positive things where you think there aren't any. :)

    bunny too - we rent and also have a no pets rule :( I know how you feel though - I'd have cats if I could (and we've already picked out the names we'd use for them...)

    fifi63 - hope you had a happy birthday :)

    Have a good day everyone

    Morning everyone,...............

    4. Look for lost piping bag. would like to make piped biscuits. i think that i'm just going to have to buy a new one........................

    Bonjour b aussi
    - your no. 4 -make that a Me, too.

    2 easy ways to embolden -
    When you reply to a Thread. look top left above the box where you will type.
    See the B?
    That's the one to click before, then unclick after the required typing.
    You'll see it acquires a grey shadow square around it when it's on.
    The I[for italics]and the U[for underlining] work in exactly the same way.
    You can make 1,2, or all 3 work at once by pressing however many...

    BUT, better still - and quicker - is to do them from your keyboard.

    Just press Ctrl button[both left and right corner buttons of the bottom row of your
    keyboard]AND HOLD IT DOWN, while you choose B, U or I [or combinations] on your keyboard, then type away.

    If it's something you want to highlight, click/select over the chosen text/image - it will shade.

    Then use your b, u, or i to apply that effect.

    Still need a new piping bag though - have made do with plastic bag and screwed on tubes but it's not terribly satisfactory.

    re:Moto GP{which would astonish most who know me] - race over, raining in Malaya. They are crazy braves.

    Just came here while hair in conditioning phase.

    Good Morning

    Today is going to be a productive day for me! I am going to:

    1. Clean out my greenhouse so that it is ready for next year
    2. Sand the handles on the kitchen units
    3. Organise some christmas presents
    4. Bake something tasty
    5. Choose what xmas gifts I would like from my family

    All free and exactly what I want to be doing today, what a lovely feeling!
    Taking responsibility one penny at a time!

    bunny too, baileys on porridge? Sounds good, but I think my DH would be worried if I started opening a bottle in the morning as well!!

    bunny too, I think I will have to try the baileys on porridge idea just to see what it's like. My blessings for today
    1. Managing a nice walk through the trees with DH. Just the two of us (and dog). A rare treat.
    2. Homemade vegetable broth for lunch.
    3. Christmas cake baking in the oven- smells gorgeous.
    4. It's a wet and windy day outside again so it gives me an excuse to do the ironing and some college work.
    5. Finishing a crossword.
    Love to all. X

  • Afternoon all :) Thank you for the welcoming replies

    My five for today:

    1. DS sleeping later allowing me to have a rare lie in

    2. My parents taking the kids for a couple of hours allowing me to browse MSE in peace

    3. My kitchen is spotless

    4. I'm making an inventory of all the food we have in the house to see what i can make and hopefully not need to buy much for a few weeks - the extra cash is towards Xmas.

    5. Chicken stew from the freezer for tea, nice and easy just have to make the dumplings later

    Enjoy your day everyone

  • Hi everyone,

    My 5 are;-
    # waking up and being greeted with waggy tails from the visitors, and a big grin from the lurcher :D

    # a long walk with both of them,and watching them play, snuffling up the leaves

    # knowing i have enough in the freezer,pantry and fresh fruit and veg for at least two weeks, very mse!

    # trying on [some] of the contents of my wardrobe, more to donate to charity,and space to see what is there.

    # the pleasure i have from reading your '5 things' and thinking 'ooh yes, of course! 'so thanks for showing me new ways of looking at life.

    Hope you are having a peaceful time everyone
