Any chocolate orange segments going spare Lil_me?

Yes as long as you don't want a rice crispies one because I have eaten them all, I like diets which start tomorrow, the day that never comes :rotfl:

Kaz thanks, a recipe with no celery I've got everything on there apart from fresh parsley and orange peel, doubting candied peel will be the same.....wonder why the orange peel tho, that's weird isn't it.......

Ooooo cocopops vouchers, might have to treat the kids to proper coco pops (PS I used the kids free vouchers WITH the clubcard ones last year and the nice girl at the tills let me ) also use them for the ones you have to pay full for because Disabled Child is £5.00 and Carer is £6.50 at the Zoo (inc Dino Safari) Part of getting the most from offers is working out what is best to use where, drives you mad at the till if you don't plan ahead been there. Much easier if you decide 'right u are taking brat a to till 2 with the bogof voucher and tesco deals, I will take brat b to till 4 with kids free voucher and other deals' because sometimes you can only use one voucher. What a pain it is but saved me a fortune :rotfl:

I think I might have skipped the orange peel when I made it and in the picture the parsley is sprinkled on the top so maybe dried parsley would do.

Feel loads better for something to eat. I am going to wash up and then take my DVD upstairs to watch, while doing the ironing i think. Will probably clear the pile if in front of a film, which will mean more room to manouvere in the big bedroom ready for decorating.

Had a nice conversation with DH, and have remade our bed, so i think i will crack on now with some more bits.



OK - mini plan for the weekend:

• [STRIKE]change our bed[/STRIKE] [strike]and the cot[/strike]
• read my magazine that came last week
• watch DVD rental - was going to do tonight, but as i have been on phone to mum for an hour, didn't manage it
• [strike]wash bedding[/strike]
• [strike]wash a load of DH's jumpers[/strike]
• book cattery dates for weekends away and the holiday in august that i know about
• [STRIKE]pay credit card bill[/STRIKE]
• take charlie to feed ducks
• visit mums on sunday so boys can run around together and burn some energy off (spotting a pattern here .... :rotfl: dots so pigpen doesn't feel too special.)
• mark y8 books
• mark y10 books
• mark y9 books - will do marking while watching film i hope
• plan lessons for next week

Not a bad day, but i am not going to kill myself by doing too much more. I need to get through to tomorrow afternoon solo, and then we will all be going to my parents house, and Nick needs to help my mum do her tax return. We knew that one would be coming, and as usual it would be us playing bail out.

But, that's the way it is so no use complaining about it,


See you all tomorrow - don't stay up too late, unless you are having a night out, then have a drink for me.
Michelle, x

Pigpen, I'm impressed.
Lil_me, ta, I'm not fussed so long as its choc! Tomorrow never comes for me either certainly not when it means giving things up.

Missed the shop due to a phone call so I had to go to the garage where..the xmas luxury choc bikkies (like Fox's but not) are reduced to £1 a box. Yum yum yum. Do I buy more tomorrow or not?

Mudbath, glad you've got some more bookings. If I was anywhere near I'd come for treatments and boost your roof fund!

Have an easy evening Michelle, glad your taking it easy, haven't had to fret about you today!

Evening all

No flying today - at all! IL's have had DS nearly all day, to be honest I needed a break, he's very trying at the minute, just usual kid stuff, but dealing with it all on my own has got a bit much. DH is working away for most of next week so will be totally on my own so the rest was very much needed.

Been out shopping with DH and then lunch so its been lovely. Just had some nibbles for tea and now just chilling on here, Dh reading.

Re the bathrooms - not sure wether I should admit this but we have 4 'complete' bathrooms and another loo so plently of space and clean 'me only' areas. Bliss. However plently of cleaning!!!

Not at lot else to say! Enjoy your night folks!

tracyg

Thanks Solway you just reminded me

Mudbath - I used to do beauty/nails/few holistic treatments from home too and then rented a space and then a little salon. You are doing BRILLIANT to have that turnover working from home, I found it really hard to get people in at home, well done!!! Am toying with idea of going mobile at the minute as I loved working, have a detached double garage that would make a beautiful clinic but don't think my neighbours would be too impressed! Would love to hear more about your biz

Michelle - well done for being on your own, please relax though and chase re the anemia thing!

Solway - mmmmmm, biccies! Yes, yes, yes buy more LOL

*wave* to Tori - missed you about this week, hope LO's okay now

Lil me - I'm with you on the tomorrow diets!

Dusty - managed to play ball with the dogs in the garden earlier, its so lovely to be out isn't it!

lil_me

tracy, no you shouldn't admit it because now I want more bathrooms. One thing I REALLY dislike about this house is only one loo! That must be some size house to have so many bathrooms, **insert jealous smilies here in multiples of 20** I'll just have to giggle at you when it's bathroom day because you have 4 to do, so ner! Oh but I am pleased you've had a nice day and some relax time.

Solway, the little naughty voices in my head would tell me to buy them all but then the good voices would say 'that's bad and would be terribly greedy' I am not sure which one I would tell to shut up :rotfl: What was the BB date on them?

Solwaykid

Inspector Wexford and chocolate bikkies..

I'm off, night folks catch you tomorrow.x


Lil_me, if there was a BB date I'm sure they'll be eaten before it..I'll conduct my own expiry trial in true scientific research style. I'll let you know the outcome. I have to buy more now don't I? Hee hee, ways and means to justify anthing.

Evening all

It's been a lovely bright day here, but very windy! I hope the weather has been kind to Rach and OH and that they have had the best day ever.

Before town:

• SS bathroom and shower room
• DW emptied
• WM emptied and re-filled
• Dogs and cats fed

DH was still in bed when DS and I went to town this am! My breathing's much better, thank goodness, but DS is on his third cold since October and the GP and Physio won't let him back to school. It's a good job he's now post-16 or we might have more hassle from the school than we do.

Anyway, now that he's got his DLA re-instated, he decided he'd like a contract phone, so has ended up with a very good deal including a free Playstation, which should be delivered on Monday!:jHe's a happy bunny. I also got my new Blackberry so I can get everything transferred from my rubbish phone and take it in next week to buy myself out of my contract. :T Also offered a good deal for Broadband, although we'll be without internet for 2-3 weeks.:eek::eek::eek:

Went for a lovely coffee while we thought about the deals - good excuse.:rotfl:

Also got more sealant for the front door, waterproofing for jackets, buttons for my suit jacket (Coz the dog ate them - sleeve undamaged, buttons destroyed!!!) and light bulbs, pendant fitting (so DD's blokey can fit it for me), eggs, bacon and Vanish OXY in Asda. Why have they stopped selling Ace Bleach? It was really good!

Anyway, since I came back:

• WM emptied
• More tidying in study to make room for work stuff
• Work stuff moved from dining room to study
• Vacuumed whole house

Tomorrow:

• Must do fish tank
• Trip to tip
• Wash kitchen floor
• Ironing
• Clean cooker
• Clean sunlounge window
• Start on den

Yes, I know it's maybe not very organised flying yet, but I'm getting there. If I can work my way around the house getting it tidy bit by bit, as well as the daily flying, I might find my home again!

Anyway, I'm off to do some knitting, so night night all. Sleep well
