Good Afternoon All

I hope to catch up with the thread now Im back from work

Im still without an oven, luckily Im stll able to use the grill & hob, but quite frankly, Im getting bored now with Casseroles, stir frys etc! What Id give to bake or do a roast!

Been at my place of work a year today! Time has flown!
DD on a school trip tomorrow to Eden camp, learning about the war etc. She's got to be at school at 8.20am.

No news yet from the councillor who's suppose to be looking into traffic calming!
Both kids back at school today! So Im enjoying the quiet between finishing work & fetching them.

Our hedge hoppers was back on Saturday night again! I hope they fall on a spike! ooohhh nasty me!

Did the weekly shop on sunday, it came in at £31.04 - best its been in a long time! But that was only stuff we really needed, trying to run everything down for lead up to Christmas.

OH has a job interview tomorrow, for Argos, Christmas temping staff, he'll do that in addition to his normal job!

Can someone point me in the direction of facebook? I havent a clue what its about!

Hello! I haven't read the thread yet so hope everyone is reasonably okay. Just wanted to say how good it is to "see" you all again - although I wasn't up to posting I was reading the thread most days and missed it terribly, as I'm sure we all did.

Best wishes to anyone with a birthday over the past 2 weeks or so, and commiserations (sp?) to anyone who's not well or going through a difficult time (thinking of you Mioliere).

I must confess to not being very OS atm, as not up to doing much cooking and we've eaten all the HM "ready meals" in the freezer so dinner tonight is a Cornish pasty for me (good healthy food!):rolleyes: and an Asda pizza for DH but have some chicken left from Sunday when I managed to do a roast, so tomorrow we'll have chicken curry - even if I have to instruct DH on how to cook it!

We've got 2 poorly DGSs atm. DGS 13yo is just starting to get over the worst tonsillitis he's ever had, and his little cousin, DGS 14mo, who is walking unaided but sometimes goes too fast for his feet to keep up with his brain, grabbed his bedroom radiator to steady himself last Friday and burnt his hands! DD2 was so upset as she hadn't realised how hot it was, though tbh it wouldn't have burnt a grown-up. She'd only turned her back for a few seconds to wrap his dirty nappy! Anyway, he's got his hands bandaged atm, though he's coping quite well and they seem to be healing well. If he can't do something because of the bandages he gets aomeone else to do it!

DD2 in the meantime has only 7 weeks until her new baby's due, so she bought a dressing gown to use in hospital and afterwards. It's red, with a hood. When she put it on in front of her husband he went "HO HO HO!" and said that if she went into hospital with that on they'd all expect presents! She felt like throwing something at him, but couldn't help laughing (Nor could we when she told us!):p Oh well, better go now and put this exciting pasty in the oven! Will catch up with the rest of the thread while it's cooking.

Evening all,

a quiet night here tonight - haven't heard any kids going about halloween rhyming, so maybe they're saving it all for tomorrow. Then again, we didn't have that many last year so maybe they've all decided not to bother :rolleyes:

Dinner out tonight for a treat - a lovely place in town does a carvery meal for £3.50 so went there to 'splurge' some of my birthday money, which was very nice We went to the cinema yesterday and saw 'stardust' which was a good movie - we haven't been to the cinema in ages so was great. Caught an early evening show though so back before 8pm

WM is due to go on again soon, and need to tidy up the kitchen a bit before bed tonight. got quite a bit done when I was off work last week, so a *little* more up to date now.

*hugs* to all, take or leave as you please.....

evening all! its great to be back!
not read the thread yet, went back to work today after 3 weeks off, my wrist is now fully recovered:j I've really missed this site as I'm sure you all have, thank goodness its back!:T

Over the weekend my fridge died, luckily we also have a fridge freezer so managed to cram it all in there, my Mum bought us a new one and it was delivered today(thanks Mum:T ) tried to pay her back but she wouldn't have it!

We have booked a night away, just the 2 of us in a couple of weeks, nowhere exotic - Telford but its the first time in 2 years since we had a night away together and we are combining it with a christmas shopping spree and a visit to a pigeon show(for DH) am really looking forward to it.

I hope everyones well, am off to catch up now

take care xxx
