    Good morning guys. Hope you all have a great day

    Good morning northerngeezer, how is your day today? Hope you feel a little better than you did yesterday 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 have never understood foodstuffs being laced with lavender LEJC.

    Another thing I always hated was Parma violets, never quite seemed right.

    Something like shortbread that tastes so nice should be left well alone. If it ain't broke dont fix it.

    my sentiment exactly enterprise.
    I have a feeling they may have come off of the back of the banana and bacon Heston trifle at christmas...another thing that was best left alone.

    Sorry I had to dash this morning. Market day and I wNted to park behind Argoose in one of the blue bays, so get there early, before 9am I'm guaranteed a place :T

    I walked down to the Card Factory all set to get 12 months worth of cards :eek: it wasn't quick time for opening so I popped down to SD. Had left my barcode list for brollies at home :mad: none of the little birds in bags either, didn't think there would be :cool:

    Back to Card shop but with the Valentine cards, and Mothers Day cards all birthdays and Anniversaries were scattered, I've only bought for the next month :D

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker Car Insurance Carver!
    I was having a fairly quiet week as OH is away skiing with my sister in Italy ( I dont ski ! ) and few baby sitting duties so had started clearing the 2nd bedroom for OH's return in a couple of months.
    Yesterday my DD came to help and then we got a phone call to say my sister fell and broke her knee on the slopes. She was stretchered off and is in an Italian hospital. They were returning tommorow anyway but as as she lives in Swtizerland and has good insurance her insurers are going to fly her back to Geneva by helicopter or plane to have it pinned. Luckily my brother and his wife were going next week so hopefully she will have the op and then come back with them to recuperate. She is divorced so is on her own and at least if she is her we can run her around and take care of her.
    Also think my Mum is losing it as she has rung twice in the night in the past week to say she has sepsis and needs an ambulance. She has a cut on her leg but its healing well. Then she told my sister she didnt have any t last night (she did )
    So a fraught couple of days.

    Glad to know it was a melon as I was feeling discriminated against! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    My brother swears by 'more expensive' tomatoes so I thought I might do the blind taste thing as you suggest, mhoc.

    Perhaps later today we could all share our S shopping lists?


    Mine consists of multiple packs of Johnstons baby wipes at £7.00 plus £3.00 of bits and bobs each time
