morning all,

Busy morning so far, done the school run, put two lots of washing through, but got then on airer as its pouring down here, and very dark, hoovered through all house, mopped floors, made beds, tidied bedroms.

Took little dog to the vets today for her booster, she doesn't like it there, lots of funny smells, was in there 5 mins, and came out £38 lighter :rolleyes: , she is worth it though.
Got to do an internet food shop today, and I would like to blitz DD's room, but will see if I get time.
Had a productive afternoon yesterday, OH cooked roast lamb, while dd and I cleaned out under the stairs which was her toy storeage place, got rid of loads of bits to the charity shop, and sooooo much rubbish, they seem to collect it don't they ?:rolleyes:

Minced beef and onon pie for dinner with mash and veg.

Frogga,well done with the weight loss :j

Queenie, welcome back

Nelski, you can come here for dinner if you like, your turn to wash up though:D
Mrs Mcawber, your poor sister, hope all goes well for her, and what is PMS ?

Crazychic, kids eh :rolleyes: don't you just love em x

Off to have a quick surf,then on with the jobs, its never ending issn't it ?

Love to all

Morning all.................((((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))) if you need one.... good to see you posting Queenie...............

Just to repeat a plea I put on last night for those of you who make cards, I am looking for apature cards to mount embroideries in, where do you get your card supplies from please?????????? I did have a brochure but think I must have chucked it out when we moved because I cannot find it, and cannot remember who I bought my original stuff from.........

Have only just got up, we both had a bad night last night, OH fidgiting kept me awake, I ended up getting us both tea at 2am.....

Bread maker on, Cauli and Broc bake for supper tonight, so need to do the cheese sauce and breadcrumbs for that, will have a couple of jackets and sweetcorn with it.

Nothing really going on this week, we have had a letter this morning from the council, we pay our rent by DD and they have paid £25 into our rent account, which we can draw. I am going to go and get it, its better in my savings account rather than in their hands.........I also rang the Attendance Allowance people as we had not had a further payment from them, apparently until our 'own' pension office take it up and pay it weekly with OH's pension, its paid 4 weekly in arrears!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why could they not say that in the letter they sent??????

Right off for a cuppa, trying not to drink so much coffee, have cut it down to one mug in the morning and thats it.......

Morning everyone, Happy birthday Laurajayne hope you ave a great day.
Frogga well done thats a brilliant result.

Havent really been up to much but really need to get myself sorted and start kicking in with sorting the house out. Nipped into asda for some brown sugar yesterday and managed to get £19.00 worth of fish for £3 in the reduced section usually i only manage to get a bit of fruit/veg reduced so was pretty chuffed got a fewother bits reduced as well.I tried to make some soft cookies yrstday treid a few times but were hard and crunchy the kids didnt seem to mind though think i might have used the wrong type of brown sugar.
Dd2 wants me to make some crab apple jelly she even picked me a bag full of apples from the school tree lol have never made or tried it before but shes mithering me like mad to make it so will give it a go.

Laurajayne Happy Birthday :beer: The cook book sounds fab.

Nelski His name is Crazy Frank and let's say he's very eccentric. But I will definatley pass on your message next time I see him. [STRIKE]Sniggers[/STRIKE]

Ruby Our dogs always hated the smell of the vets. Would get hyper-stressed. Crazychik (((hugs))) with the tension headaches. Sons. :rolleyes:
MrsMac That's excellent news about your sister. Hope it continues.

Well I've had tea, done dishes & showered. Just vegging out on the computer waiting until Southpark starts. The wool I bought on Sunday is the wrong stuff as well. :rolleyes: How stupid am I? Don't answer that. I got two lots of the wrong stuff now. I've kept the dockets but probably won't get back to the shop now for a couple of weeks. Byeeeeeeeeee

PP thanks, I had found those last night, the ones I want have bigger apatures, and also printed, Happy Christmas etc on, I am so mad that I threw the book away......they had loads of different cards envelopes etc as well as all the glues etc and were very reasonable too.............I did a search last night without much success.........

Hello All (second post as it lost the first one!)

Chucking it down here! Cant get any enthusiasm up today- might have something to do with being up in the night again! I used to sleep ok till I came on here - I think it must be catching you know!!:o :rotfl: This time I watched a Bollywood movie followed by Stardust! Some indian woman singing about rainbow bangles and jingling them to attrack her lover? - very strange:rotfl: and something about camel racing!:rotfl:

Been to the job centre this morning. last time they lost my book, but they had it today so the silly bat must have had it on her desk all the time:rolleyes: This time the lady wasnt in so had to wait whilst others covered her desk, which meant people coming in after me and getting called before!! All the usual organised chaos of the J.C!:rotfl: :rolleyes:
