Good morning all,

Kyle - Hope you feel better soon
Pink winged - Have a lovely holiday, your hair sounds lovely! I always find that the tricky bit is trying to recreate it yourself.
Heavenleigh - Good luck with your scan, i'm sure that everything will be fine.
FBThree - I've stayed at a hotel on Cleeve Hill, was it the Rising Sun? The food is very nice there. Hope that you manage to find the right paint soon!

Early morning in the Alibob household, dd woke at 530, she's dozed a little since and is now chatting but doesn't seem to be moving too much so i'll leave her to it for a while!
Had a lovely meal with my friend yesterday, will be my last night out in a long time though, it was nice to get home at the end of the night.

Saw the consultant yesterday C-section is booked for the 12th of September! Just 2 days before my 5th wedding anniversary. It doesn't actually feel anymore real though, hope that it will soon, I do still have a few things to do, Hospital bag still not packed!!!

My Dad is still continuing to do well, all drains and tubes out now and on a general ward. I spoke to him yesterday and he sounds find although I do think that he will be a bit down when he gets out and the shock of it all hits him, I'll do my best to keep his mood high. He should be out on Friday all being well, I was thinking of making a batch of soup for him, i'll be checking out receipe's soon.

We're having lunch with a friend and her 2 little ones today, she's told me that I will be sitting down and she will be running around after the kids which sounds lovely.

Dishwasher emptied, washing machine on and small clean shih-tzu allowed to snuggle up to me on the bed, normally not allowed but she's feeling a little neglected I think.

Breakfast - cereal and toast
Lunch - at friends
Dinner - quorn thai curry

Have a wonderful day all, good luck to all getting gcse results today

Good morning everyone! Trying to decide how to spend my couple of hours before the Small Penguins are up. For the last week or so, I've spent it sewing, but the waistcoats are now finished :j :j Hurrah!! Will take a pic later, and show you all. Will have another cup of tea, then a browse *on the wires*.

Kyle - hope you feel better soon.

Heavenleigh - good luck for the scan. I had similar to you, too, and know what a worry it is.

Pink - enjoy yor hols! Wish I could have 6" off my hair and it still be long :mad: I'd be bald :eek:

DD was doing her homework yesterday, so relieved the stress by baking. She made coconut macaroons (really easy recipe - only 2 ingredients :T ) and a nectarine brulee. She used out blowtorch to make the sugar topping, and that's in the fridge for tonight's tea. She also made 12 muffins, to decorate and photograph for an art project. She's been inspired by this site - do take a look (and at the scrapbook) - cakes to die for and only £20/dozen :eek: :eek: We're in the wrong job :rolleyes:

Going to sew on DD's Guide badges - love to have a needle in my hand

Good luck to everyone getting GCSE results today, Penny. x

OH was making up a desk in daughters room to find out the the bits labeled left and right were in fact two left bits and we couldnt carry on so they sending another one which will be great as the bits scattered all over her room at the moment.
Builders start on friday and thats it for the next 6 or so weeks .. glad they starting as i keep changing my mind about little things so the sooner they start and finish the sooner i can stop saying well actually i think lol

Yup that would be the one! It's changed hands recently and they're trying out new menus. Nothing actually grabbed our attention straight away, but what we ate was ok, although we were a little surprised at the prices! Might put it on our "special occasion" list rather than a "shall-we-just". Why is it, if you have a lovely meal, it's always the last or next-to-last bite that has the gristle or dry meat in it? :rotfl:

Morning all
Hope everything goes well Leigh.
It's chilly here today & breezy, so far I've done the packups, taken hubby to the station, fed the visitors, got soup going in the SC & a loaf in the BM & the washing is on the line.
I may try to finish the rest of my filing today as I should have a few hours uninterrupted by visitors, I need to spread it out all over the living room floor as there is so much of it, though I am down to the last of 3 huge boxes.
Hope everyone has a good day.
Hugs Hester

Morning everyone.
Hevenleigh-think of you this morning(())
Pink have a great hoilday!!

Well we have sunshine and clear blue skies this morning!!I hope it stays need to get the kids out of the house even if it is just into the garden or they are going to kill each other!! They are getting worst by the day, every time they open their mouths they find something to argue about!! I dont know if they are just going through a phase due to being so close in age (9,10,11) or if they hoildays are just getting to them?? I normally love having them at home but i cant wait until a week on tuesday at the minute for them to go back to school!!

Sorry moan over! Plans for today make more weetabix cake, i have made one a day this week and everytime i go for a piece its all gone!! Also am going to make so hob-nobs, Tea tonight is pizza so will get on with preparing that in a minute, love pizza on busy nights as its quick and easy (once its prepared and made) and can be eaten cold, we have football training AGAIN tonight so it will be a case of dh arrive home eat pizza and go!!

I cut the lawns yesterday and tidied round the garden so if the kids decide to good i may try and get a hour sat outside in the sun (im not holding my breath though) Also need to clean the leather setee dh has brought me some magic cleaning product from work for it, iv told him i bet its no better than stardrops!! We will have to see LOL

I wouldn't have said that it was special occasion food, perhaps they are going more upmarket? They probably won't let me in next time!
We have family in Gloucestershire and stayed there last August, we had a lovely room but were woken at 3am by a huge water leak coming through the bay windows, it make such a noise it woke our dd who was 18 months at the time, the 3 of us spent the rest of the night laying in bed not sleeping and not wanting to put Isobel back in her cot or she'd wake the whole hotel up with her screaming! They didn't charge us for the room which was great but we were so tired! I would rather have had the rest.

odds-n-sods

Good Morning all!

PP, those fairy cakes are just different coloured icing with different sprinkles. Nothing hard about that so I don't know why they charge so much - a4 year-old could do them.

Leigh, will be thinking of you.

Got neighbours coming over for dinner; got to make the panna cotta, will let you know how it turns out - hope better than the trifle! Also making stock and soup too.

Foot is bothering me today; the ball of my foot hurts, not the toe??! *sigh*

Plumber coming the AM sometime as well; he may have to get the panel off, we couldn't.

Almost finished the x stitch yesterday, will definitely finish today then I'll post a pic.

GOod luck to the GCSE people today!
