    I quickly got 2 exceptional reports in before the deadline. ;)

    I did remind everyone on the 3rd too sorry I didn't give you a personal nudge TM, I wasn't sure who was and wasn't on it. :o

    I always leave mine with minutes to spare. :eek:

    Make sure you do the post report all will not be lost. x

    Rhos....are you around....or anyone...I've been given some punnets of cherries...I'm going to cook them to go in a dessert ........what's the best way to ensure I get all the stones out please?
    Googled and found this:D
    There are two different but equally easy ways to pit cherries without a cherry pitter: the twist method and the poke method. You can use different tools to do each one, as discussed under each technique.

    Choose fresh, ripe cherries. Rinse them with cool water, pat them dry, and remove their stems.

    Note: If you have a lot of cherries, this is a good activity to do with a partner or two. If you're alone, settle in.:rotfl::rotfl:

    Yes still work, but no cooking as such, no housework:T:T (only work)
    Actually not too busy as no work tomorrow so will sort some in the morning then we can come back sat and sun so will do the rest then:D

    I was diagnosed December 2015 but hadn't mentioned it I don't think. There's only 2 or 3 people on here know about it, didn't tell DH until 6 months later :o

    Good luck with tomorrow xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    I saw you mention it the other day and made a note to self to do it yesterday morning, lost the Note and forgot until last night about 11pm, so like you I managed 2 exceptional reports. I always tell myself to get a report in as soon as, keep up with it, but then it's last minute dash :eek:
    Thanks for reminder xx
