Re your doors CrazyChik...mine are painted white but I have a lot of pine furniture and tbh I prefer waxing it as the varnish tends to wear off with heavy use.

Anniebooklover, I had something similar. When I was having DD, towards the end I was being scanned every two weeks by my specialist (he had a little scanner in his office) because of problems with growth with DS and because she was an unstable lie. Several times he referred to her as "her", so although I hadn't asked at the official scans, I wasn't at all surprised when she arrived (although the surgeon was, as he thought he was delivering a diagonal baby but in the 10 minutes they were prepping me, she moved to sideways again).

Morning everyone :wave: :wave:

What a gorgeous day it is in Warrington - perfect blue sky you would think its eighty degrees looking out then but a trip to the bin soon put the dampners on any sun bathing dreams its freezing:D

Got a dentist appointment today at 3 but its just a clean and polish which I love having so no problem. Where my dentist is there is a QVC outlet shop so I will have a little mooch round there I suspect - its very hit and miss but I have had some good bargains from there in the past.

Last night I made a massive pan of Glads Lentil Dhal as I had some potatos and onions to use up and it was absolutely gorgeous. Will have some more tonight and there will still be 4 portions for the freezer so good deal:j

Mrs Mix - Happy birthday to DD hope you enjoy the party
Pen Pin - I have stuff in the freezer that is well over 6 months:eek: hasnt killed me yet;)
Grannyboons mum - Have a lovely birthday
Mrs Micawber - Hope your sister is ok that must be very worrying
Haribo - Get to the doctors girl a course of antibiotics should see it off
Heavenleigh - hope you find out soon i need to uncross my fingers soon its really hard to type:D
Shez - What ever question you may ask today - I dont know but hello anyway :wave:
Jackie O - Big hugs

Best go and [STRIKE]watch Jeremy Kyle [/STRIKE]do some work I guess
Have good days all

Hi all! :j :hello: I'm back. Got home late last night - we should have sailed on Sunday but delayed it for a day. Had glorious sunshine for the whole of last week so coming back to the cooler weather has come as a bit of a shock. I've only had time for a quick skim of the thread and will catch up later but, meanwhile, (((hugs))) to all in need.

I'm longing to get up to date with all the news but first I have about six loads for the WM and a loaf of bread to make! Holiday is definitely over!

Will call in later but have a great day everyone.

Hello again...

Just thought id do a quick OS update - whilst waiting for mum to get home so i can ring her and find out how sis is doing.... thanks for all the good wishes... im sure she will be ok....we come from sturdy stock - if you don't count all the ailments, and bits dropping off we have :rotfl:

Anyway... i have:-

• got the stock done, and cooling
• got 1 batch of sage pastry and 1 batch of cheese pastry resting in the fridge..thats 1kilo of flour gone:rotfl:
• the beetroots are cooked and are cooling down in the water - trying to avoid peeling them yet, as i won't be able to resist em then
• have done the mashed potato, with loads of fried onions, cheese n seasoning -just waiting for it to cool before i turn it into pasties
• got the diced potato, carrot, onion and pork cooling - then that will go into pasties too.... i got some "soup meat" they call it here.. bones with quite a bit of meat left on them - soups are a big thing here..anyway they cost roughly 35p and when i have slow cooked them and pulled off all the meat there was 1lb exactly:j - so that should make quite a few pasties:D

I think that is about it so far, still its kept me distracted and will fill the freezer with something a bit different...
I think the other pies/pasties may have to wait until tomorrow....

Haribojunkie.... sorry you are feeling so poorly..you know if you stick some dried sage in a pot with some hot water, leave until cool enough to drink, strain it -you can then gargle with it and it seems to numb your throat for a while... tastes a bit odd, but better than a lot of drug based ones....

hope everyone is having a good day... better get off and see if i can get hold of mum....then its back to the kitchen for me :rolleyes:

Welcome back Moiliere :wave: hope you enjoyed your break.
Miss Mix & GrannyGrannyBoon Happy Birthday
Heavenleigh Hope the phone call comes soon. My DN (the one that was in Oxford) had a scan last Friday. She's having a girl. The name is now the surprise.
Haribo Sorry to hear you're so poorly. An old scottish remedy recommended by Twink is to gargle lavender oil. Should sort out your throat Well what's left of it.

Think I will hop into the shower and read some more of my book. It's Hovel in the Hills & I've really enjoyed it so far. Recommended on here of course.

Won't it get soggy?? And I didn't know Pink-winged had brought out a household manual. (Hovel in the Hills...geddit?) :rotfl:

Doctor's appt at 2.30.

Thanks also to the [strike]witches[/strike] ladies of old style for the herbal remedies. Tempted as I am to gargle with sage and/or lavender I think I will save myself for a hot toddy later.
