Out and about yesterday with DS1 in the morning and DS2 & DiL in the evening so just had a quick skim through the posts.
NM - grrr about the house and your hospital journey's. makes me realise how lucky I am to be near a large hospital.
Hester - been thinking of you in this bad weather - boat living is an entirely different ball game!
Softstuff - get some rest - we dont want you poorly.
Fuddle - yes - the BB's have made me nod off! Ive looked at the leaflet and there's no particular time to take them so I'm doing them before I go to bed. I'm reasoning that they'll give me a good nights sleep and back to normal during the day......I hope!
Monna - I can make a good sponge cake and light dumplings but I'm another one who's scones turn out more like bricks! I'll try your recipe & see if I can B** that up!
Hugs to you all - whether you need them or not x

We finally got out of the village and down to the docs for RV's pills. He wouldn't let me go to the shop though so no more sweeties

Hester I don't know how you keep your patience with your tenant . Three days is a long time to leave a leak unreported . She's clearly broken the terms of the lease and as she's already caused previous problems I'd be charging either some or all of the cost to her . If it needs to come out of her security deposit it can .
So much for a peaceful retirement .

Monna thank you for the recipe. It has been copied and filed under Monna's Scones, for future reference. I didn't have any for breakfast as I don't normally put my head above the parapet before 9.30 am. . I am always late to bed and late to rise as I don't function very well as an early riser :rotfl:. Works out well as my Dh is the opposite and he always has a cup of tea ready for me in the morning, so I can "come to" slowly.
Mar your RV was mean not to let you have more sweeties. Doesn't he know that they have a long shelf life and they can be kept for emergencies .
Hester you must have the patience of a saint with your tennant. I would be more than annoyed :mad:.
Hope everyone has a good Monday.

nanny a long shelf life and kept for emergencies do not feature in that wee wummins life ! I often wonder if she wanders the shop eating as she goes and hands over the empty packets at the till for scanning .

They don't have a long shelf life in this hoose Nanny :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
snowballs in hell have longer!
That is a great idea Polly, I will remember that ;)

Polly fancy casting aspidistras at the poor, poor sweet old lady and fellow Jelly Baby lover. :shhh: I imagine she's like super gran in the sweetie aisles or a woman possessed :rotfl:. Sorry Mar.
A quick question if I may...... I decided to take the bull by the horns and try to make some scones, but I noticed that it needs 5 fl oz of milk. As our fresh stocks are running low, milk included, because of the snow we are still unable to get out and about safely, could I use UHT milk instead ?
Thanks in advance.
PS.
Sorry Mar but you have let the side down, I was trying to defend you :rotfl:.

Just thought I would share that the weather guru Dave King thinks the snow could be back on the 17th of this month for five days.

Just about to go out and post a letter and get some more bread, milk and potatoes.

UHT milk can be used as a substitute for pasteurised pretty in pretty much any recipe.

mar I'll have to choose my words more carefully in future . I'm trying to get you to see the error of your ways not enable you with new ideas . I'd post this in green but the brain aint too good today .

nanny ask the poor sweet dear old lady who et all the carefully collected chocolate on the old SHTF thread . We almost came to fisticuffs on that one . She's a human vulture where food is concerned . I think the world of her but she does test my patience as she pops innocent Heffalumps in her freezer , stalks anything that breathes . I'm still wondering about the fate of the walkers who walked up her hill and never came back . :eek:
