  • Good Morning All

    Mild here too in Essex, no rain at the moment but is still very wet on the ground.

    Loads of paperwork today and will clear the ironing again - theres only a few bits there so wont take too long.

    Popped into Morrions when I went out yesterday - spent a bit but got loads of bogofs - tonight we have their pizza which was £2.39 for 1 or buy 2 4 £2. Having that with coleslaw and garlic bread.

    Not much else to report - house is quite clean and tidy and OH beewaxed all our furniture.

    Have a great day.

    Morning everyone!

    Supposed to be a chilly day here in London, but ive got my toasty warm new jammies on and a coffee;)

    Got two small xmas trees in B&Q yesterday that I shall be putting in my tubs for the front of the house, should look lovely with some twinkly lights!! They were only £10 each, much cheaper than buying a potted tiny conifer!

    Need to make a list of xmas food and things today, finish xmas cards & post some photos to my brother in Australia.

    Yesterday I made Rachel Allens Leek,potato, blue cheese soup which tastes yummy so thats Lunch sorted out for today:D

    Morning All

    Managed to give myself a migraine think it was stress triggered. Havent had one for so long it was quiet frightening. It is not fun trying to care for a 3yrold when your feeling like that.

    Anyway I feel alot better this morning we are going swimming later and then a spot of light cleaning. Tomorrow we are off to DH school fete and as it is so close to the Trafford Centre it would be rude not to pay a visit. I'm hoping to get dd a proper old style red wool coat for best. MIL bought dd a brown fake fur but personally I feel that it looks like something Hesters lodger might wear to go Uncling :eek: . I will take it back and tell her it didnt fit.

    Must get up now and get the xmas cake mixed so I can pop it in the oven before we go out.

    Have a good day everyone

    Morning all:wave:
    :j :j :j We have one very dead mouse in the trap this morning:j :j :j
    vomit-smiley-011.gif Only thing is, I had to empty and reset! vomit-smiley-007.gif

    Off to the doc's this morning to discuss my medication. At the moment, every time I move, I get a really sharp pain down my leg, but if I don't move I stiffen up, which makes it worse.
    I have put some chicken in the slowcooker for chicken curry tonight. The girls' friend is staying over so will pick up some 'party food' as they call it - biscuits etc.
    There's loads of washing to be done, so I've got one load on already. Sheets need changing, but that's a job I need DDs to do this weekend.
    :grouphug: Hugs to those who need them today:grouphug:

    I agree....Uncling is a fab term for the lodgers new activity.:rotfl:

    Enjoy shopping with your nan whatatwit

    Glad it all went well Mrs_Mix, it's a good idea to rest up a bit now.

    Hope your bath made you feel better, natzini. I can sympathise with the joint pain.

    Off for a :coffee: now, but will pop back throughout the day.

    Best wishes

    Pipkin xxxx

    Good morning everyone,

    Im off into town today, im hoping to get the last of my xmas shopping - i do not want to be going in again this side of xmas, town in December is a nightmare and i hate it.

    Need to do a big clean as well, as my sister is coming down for the day tomorrow with her family, and apart from wanting the house to look nice for them, i normally do most of my cleaning at the weekend and dont want to be doing that whilst they are here.

    And thats about it, must go and get my 2 ready for school now - hope everyone has a lovely day.

    Snowy - good luck at the dentist, hope Mitzi is ok, rememeber when my Sam was done, he sat under the bed for a couple of days giving me dirty looks, and wasnt even impressed with his treat of chicken!!!

    Joannasmum and natzini - ((HUGS)) hope you feel better soon.

    mrsmix - glad the op went ok, you take care now!

    ((HUGS)) to anyone ive missed, needs one, or who would just like one!!!

    Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
