Good Morning All



redruby - was that turkey crown from sainsbury's expensive?

Hi Emma, no it was about £2, it was not huge but just enough meat on it for the three of us. xx

:j Hello antonsmummy xxxx, new pots or mash would go great with your beef, taste a little bit, it is probably delish xx

I told dd2 (15) that she could have money for christmas which made her happy untill i said it would be around £50 then she stopped smiling and said she was expecting at least £200 i just:rotfl:at her lol.

:eek: :eek: :eek: . When I was living at home, I got £50 (plus a few extra bits and pieces like socks) off my parents for Christmas. It has gone up to £100 now I am living out of home (am 20) but then they don't have to feed/shelter me for the rest of the year. The really scary bit is that your DD said 'at least' £200.

anniestar ((((hugs)))) hope your headache lifts very soon.
shez :hello: Mr Darcy is looking very fine with his hat. Shame you couldn't get the one where he has just come out of the lake and his shirt is clinging to him. A wee bit of tinsel would dress that up nicely.
astonsmummy :hello: and welcome.
redruby I went to Sainsbugs yesterday cos I remembered your £2 turkey crown. In my local store they have a sign saying the cost of poultry has *increased* because of poor weather that has impacted feed, etc. So no bargains for me at all.
mean marie hope you get everything done in time - sounds like a long list.

my headache has lifted slightly so feeling a bit better. Thanks for all the kind thoughts.

Worked some overtime which will go into the roofer fund and I will be doing some tomorrow too. Every little helps, as they say.

Dinner is yellow-label steak pie with mash, broccoli and peas. Need to make a tomato sauce for tomorrow's meatballs too.

Hi All
Thanks for all the birthday wishes & the good wishes re Thumper & Ogden.
I've found out more about what the lodgers up to & with whom. I'm now even more convinced that she doesn't realise what she's getting herself into & so will explain it to her in great detail, but I'll leave it till tomorrow night as I want to relax on my birthday & not end up in an arguement with her.
I was given M & S vouchers today from work & some from hubby's mum. I have some presents to open later but will do that after I've cooked, I'm doing Huge F-W fish pie, which is really yummy. I better got on with it, or it won't be cooked in time
Hugs Hester

So hello to everyone, and my special friend pipkin :A

Hi Astonsmummy :hello: I feel all special

How you doing hun?

Nice to see you here - I'm relatively new myself but everyone is lovely, so I keep popping back.

Is your little chap still not well? Poor thing - lots of hugs and cuddles are in order while Shrek watching then, I take it.

How's the beef - did it turn out ok? I know if I was your neighbour, I would have popped round for some curry - even without the invite. I love west indian curry, and I can make a pretty good curried goat, even if I do say so myself.

Regarding the mouse:

Thanks for the advice guys. Dad has put chocolate on the traps for me and they also bought some poison over so either way I will get the :mad: in the end.

Pipkin xxxx

astonsmummy

:hello:
Right please dont think i was being rude when i corrected people about Aston, everyone does it, Lewt thought his name was Anston :rotfl:
There is a user on here called weymuffred, i read it as winnimuffred :rotfl:

Secondly the Beef boringion was delish! even DS liked it :j
We had it with new potatoes, there is loads left so that will be going in the feezer for another time.

Pipkin, sorry i havent replied to the PM yet, i keep forgetting, i'm rubbish
The curry was nice but i ended up practically having my bum stuck to the toilet seat all day yesterday, dunno what i done wrong my sisters fella makes a wicked curry goat :drool:

DS is much better today, he's on a course of antibiotics for his throat infection and luckily his chest was clear, he had an x-ray, it's now all computerised, he was fascinated by it.
so i was in and out within the hour, that was from the time i walked in.

Ooh Happy Birthday Hester :j

Pipkin, i have no advice about mice as i've never had any, but i do remeer when i was growing up we had rats in our basement and they died, the smell was awful but dad took ages to sort it out :rolleyes: surprised we didnt get diseases or sommat! :eek:

I hope everyone who is poorly is feeling ok :A

Good evening!

Thought I'd never get on here today:rolleyes: Every time I went to post something or someone interrupted The last time 10 minutes ago it was DS3 saying "any chance of a lift to the station, I'm running late" Well what a surprise:rolleyes: Like that doesn't happen 9 times out of 10. He's off to the Albert Hall for a concert by Barts choir. The latest GF is a member:smileyhea He's buying a bouquet to give her afterwards. Ain't love grand:rotfl:

Before I forget Good Luck Pam for tomorrow. Hope the op goes well:D

Pink, you are one of the least moany people on this board!!! And my goodness, the last couple of months have been one long lurch from trouble to trouble for your family. Hoping Adam recovers soon. That must be a worry that his kidneys are still bleeding. Take care of yourself as well as him (((((((hugs))))))

Welcome astonsmummy:hello: You'll love it here. I do *know* you from my *lurks* in The Arms . Glad your beef wotsit worked out:D

Happy Birthday Hester:bdaycake: Enjoy your evening:D

Shez, love your Christmas avatar. Wonder if I could do something with mine

Football on tonight:T Now I know lots will find me mad, but I love football, rugby, cricket:o Really hoping we can pull it off and qualify for next year.

Must run now, the potatoes need doing.

edited to add, yes ALL mouses like chocolate:D But some of us prefer it from a box not a trap:rotfl: :rotfl:

I have just had a look online, and they are out of stock, it was an introductory offer, so i suppose they flew of the shelf

Evening All

Many Happy Returns Hester - have a lovely evening

Congrats Hilstep

Welcome Astonsmummy.

Hugs to all those feeling unwell - especially Pink & family.

Feeling much better today which is why I wasnt on earlier - was busy doing housework. House is all clean and tidy and ironing done. Have done no paperwork today but theres always tomorrow.

OH has a kidney & water infection again, DD has a water infection - she has them regularly but we are seeing a hospital in London for her on monday so hopefully can start getting things sorted. All Oh can do is take more pills and await emergency ultrasound scan which can take up to three weeks. Getting a bit worried about our Orlando holiday in Jan as doc is now talking about keyhole surgery and cant see them getting that done by January!

Anyway rant over, had strange tea of sausages, salad, yellow sticked jacket potatoes with sour cream (not nice) and sweetcorn. We are slowly getting the freezer down.

Footie tonight so best go and finish my surfing - have a great evening.
