    I've skipped the last 20 pages so sorry if I've missed any birthdays or celebrations or commiserations :o

    It's been a very long and eventful day today - my mum had her surgery today and I've only just got home :eek: I'm absolutely shattered!

    Hope all went as well as it could do for your Mum. x

    Surely you take it out of it's packaging! I have always said that cheese does not truly go out of date, except of course the very soft cheese.

    Yes of course I do you know me I am only jesting. ;)

    We must have been doing them same time AJ, perhaps the person vetting them was in a good mood last night. :rotfl:

    Exactly the same here I start with good intentions. I had taken couple of photos but could not see how to upload them. I don't want to link my FB account, and you can no longer do "reviews" I remember you could upload a pic with them but I couldn't see a way to do it with a report. I wondered if tinypic would have worked.

    I've never yet posted any pictures but had taken a photo of the voucher and my shopping list with a pen beside my note pad, intending to post it at the start , just to give a good impression for a change. I then took photo of my Chocolate Roll, I went for Desserts, with dishes beside it, I'm such a let down to myself :cool: full of good intentions but nearly missed the bl00dy boat in the end :rotfl:

    I'm not linked to my FB account although I do have one that is through the email address I use for Orchard. I think I might change my email address so infuture it goes to email add that I use for my surveys. But none of my survey sites are linked to that FB anyway.

    Maybe next time, if we get invited back we could try Tinypic.

    Does anyone that is an Orchard member on here use Tinypic to upload photos please? What do you use instead? Thank you 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 dont know how people can eat their main meal this late:o

    I don't have much choice, just in from work :o.

    Well I do have a choice ... leave work when everyone else does and get home at a sensible time :D.

    Was already tempted to go and look for the 1kg blocks at the little store but I'm too cosy now. And besides my dinner would get cold. :rotfl:

    That would cause a row:eek::eek:

    Just been told half hour from now. :(

    DD3 doesn't get in from work until 7pm. We are a family used to eating late as when the girls did trampolining and were training couple of hours each day as they got older they were in the later sessions so we would try and eat together so often it was 9.30pm. I would leave Mr TS cooking while I picked then up.
