    Yes it is! That's so funny Foxgloves I read all the books in my early teens and was so excited when they made the trilogy. Sean Bean is alright but I prefer Aragon :) swoon

    Bob, that's not good news, its hard when you've got the little ones with you. I'm very lucky and have family close by if needed but I did once go to the dentist with them on my own for all three of us to have a check up, the kids went first, then I'm laid back in the chair and my youngest was climbing up from my feet to my chest and the dentist sighed and said I'd have to make a new appointment for me instead :o As for LOTR's well I saw them at the cinema with dh when we first started dating (I was obviously still trying to impress him at that point :rotfl::T) I just find them sooooooooooo long and then these ones he's getting the kids to watch are extended versions oh my..... As I said yesterday I'd rather watch paint dry!
    Only the last film to watch now which I think we'll be doing tomorrow/Friday then the torture is over :p


    Wow nothing like a bit of sympathy from the dentist hey :eek:
    Well all you can say is your OH has a very understanding wife:rotfl:

    Thanks for sharing determined. When it says flour do you use bread flour or plain? They look Amazing!

    Hmmm. Well, I'm not saying I'd exactly kick Aragon out of bed - there's life in the old gal yet!

    Thanks determined, really want to give them a go but DH and I were talking last night about restricting treats for a bit. May bake and see if my willpower is available to put some in freezer :rotfl:

    I'm another who doesn't get LOTR, DH loves them and has the extended versions. To me most of the film is in the same colour (dark) and everyone pretty much looks the same (apart from that golum fella) and it's an awfully long time to look for a ring. Life's to short an all that. Sean Bean helps for a bit but not 3 films plus extended bits, plus directors commentary plus the new hobbit film :rotfl:


    Today:
    Cheap load done overnight already outside on line, blowing a bit so hope it dries as ave another in and I'd ideally like to do a third
    Updated sheet as payment went out to high interest savings account :D
    Meals from stores/planner - fridge still fairly bare but we have what we need for another 5 or 6 meals ;)
    Check banking, surveys and FPL
    Pop to flooring shop and see if they have what we want
    Wool arrived so will start knitting tonight
    DH and I to gym using membership
    Work from home = more hours to get stuff done :D

    Think that's about all for now, PF.

    Morning all :)
    Quick post this morning as we are looking after GD today, and she will be here soon.
    Ally and CCL, we are worried about you - hope you are ok :(

    Today I have /will:
    HM meals from stores OH's turn to cook :D Jacket potatoes and baked beans it is :rotfl:
    Pack 2 ebay parcels and somehow find time to get them to the post office! Scuttled off first thing, as DD and GD were stillin their 'jamas when I rang :)
    RM surveys tasks while I am at it Done, and that is it for this week!
    Horrible and foggy here atm - if it brightens up, I will put the washing out on the line. If not, it will go on the airer (no choice really, as I don't have a TD to not use :rotfl:) Done, only needs a turn in the airing cupboard :D
    Made Xmas mincemeat with GD, used apples from garden tree as base :)

    Cut up and stewed rest of apples as a couple were going off. Need to deal with stewed apples, probably freeze!
    OH has had the sudden urge to clean the cooker hood for some reason :eek: Better go and see if he is ok :rotfl:
