Morning Everyone:D

Walked the kids to school and now am enjoying having the house to myself and a cuppa!!:D

I bought a new Philips steam generator iron the other day from Robert Dyas reduced from £149RRP (although £119 amazon) to £79:T its got a blooming big water tank and says you can iron for 3 hours!!!! WHO wants to iron for 3 hours I say??:rotfl: arent they supposed to be labour saving, isnt that the whole point???:rotfl: :rotfl:

I popped into Lidl this morn to get bread n milk to save going to asda - but it cost me £1.10 for a kingsmill 50/50 loaf!!!:o

Donny-gal - I was watching "3-2-1" the other day - it was hilarious!
Are you watching the new "Who do you think you are" series?

pooky - Im doing the treadmill, bike, cross-trainer, rower and then some weight machines and some situps at the gym, i had an induction and a programme worked out for me to follow. If I get on the rowers they are in front of the tv and I watch This Morning whilst rowing!!:D
Are you still doing your Paul McKenna tapes?? Anyway what were you on the other day?? I read yr post you done loads!!!! phew

annie - car wont be done till next week, they are waiting for a part to come over from Ireland!!!! makes sense seeing as its a Volvo!:rotfl:

Can anyone remind me how to clean coffee splashes from the keyboard and screen I'm loving the new Who do you think you are? series. Last week's made me cry. Have John Hurt on video to watch later.

Frogga, just read the end of yesterday's thread - we'll have to be careful what we say with so many taking us literally :beer: What did you do with your onions?

Morning Everyone

Not a good morning - I overslept and was an hour late for work!!!!

Been very busy so only just managed to get on here. Meeting went ok last night and have a free night out tonight on the company

Things are slowly happening with buying the flat, being chased for money from the solicitors but explained to them I'm not paying until I hear from the surveyors that everything's ok with the valuation.

Haven't got round to making banana bread yet, but hoping to this afternoon. Need to find time for a bath, nap and get ready to go out!!!

Working all over the weekend - football game and normal shift. Getting some time back for that as they no longer give me overtime money:mad:

Hope everyone's ok

Hello everybody,

Had a lovely day here with Granny's little helper. White haired indeed. Slightly grey maybe. We've had a great day on the potty as well. Only a couple of *wee* accidents. Made some pumpkin & feta fritters for tea tonight which were delicious. Made oven chips & fresh from the garden creamed spinach. Thanks to all those for the lovely comments. It was very appreciated after all the hard work I put into supervising DH. :rotfl:

PP Hope all goes well at the dentist.
Grannyboom Glad your Mum looks better

Well off to have a shower & chill out. Hope you all have a lovely day. Byeeeee

Haven't done any thing with my onions yet except go into the garage and admire my stash! Going to do roast onions with sage from MrsM and Onion Soup from Nelski xx:beer:
Any one actually want some? It's a pity I can't give them as Christmas presents:rotfl:

Hi everyone!
I've got a day off today woo hoo:j I love days like today because 95% of my time is taken off during the school hols to look after the small person [and rightly so] but I'm never one to turn a bit of me time down.
Fairly productive OS wise today so far...beds stripped and towels changed. I've hung out one load and got a second in the WM as I type. I also finally got round to letting the hems down on 3 pairs of the small person's trousers. He must have grown during the hols as I noticed that he was sporting a rather fine pair of ankle flappers when I was helping at cubs the other night:rotfl: :rotfl: Just aswell I always turn them up first at there don't appear to be a pair of trousers on earth that fit him!!
After dropping said small person off at school I nipped into town and popped into Sainsburys. Managed to pick up some school shirts for him for next year with 25% and also some reduced highlighters which may just ahem appear in his stocking:D For those of you who've been hit by the recent price hikes Wilko [if you have one locally] are still selling their milk for 91p for 2litres.
Anyway best sign off as am due to meet my friend for lunch and a look at tiles and worktops this afternoon.
Hope you all have a fab OS weekend...I shall be nosing my way thro' the Extraordinary Uses for Ordinary objects book I collected from the library first thing.
