Afternoon all
Pooky loved the storys of the parrott my sis in law used to have one and it's made me think of all the stuff he used to like calling my bro a w****r when he walked in the room clever parrott that

my new sofa is here and it's lovely made me realise how uncomfortable the old one was
I've done some jobs made a loaf put some dough on for rolls and a couple of loads of washing dh and ds1 did the rest of the housework whilst I was at the nasty vampire lady's she was in a mood today she said little scratch and it felt like a blooming knitting needle being poked in my arm

Evening all
Belated B'day wishes to Aussie.
Very quiet at work, it's the calm before the storm & I have 2000 booklets to produce by Friday, that would be ok, but I won't get the information to work on til Friday!
I'm off to work on the phone for an hour & crochet at the same time, I'm managing about 6 to 8 squares a time.
I hope everyone has a peaceful evening.
Hugs Hester

You are too nice for your own good! Put your foot down,pet!

Went to the local college and got my hair restyled, washed and blown dry for the princely sum of £7!

Very pleased with it. DDs want me to get it coloured now!

Arrived back late as I missed the bus and made stewing steak , leeks and cabbage with baked potatoes for tea.

Managed to get into some smaller trousers so feeling a bit better about myself.

Need a winge excuse me..................after the seat on the toilet slipped and depsoited me on the floor I phoned the repair dept. The chap came this afternoon, walked in and left great big dirty footprints on my hall carpet.....gggggggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I left it to dry and have brushed it, it has not come off...........I have left it for tonight, will have a go with somecarpet shampoo tomorrow.

The chap repaired the seat, so now you can sit down wihout hanging on to the wash hand basin...................

We heard today that the heating engineers are coming to replace the radiator in our bedroom, its only 7 weeks since we reported it.....we have had no heat in our bedroom since 2nd Decemebr.

I have finished piecing another runner, the machine behaved impecably......I have some ready quilted fabric I want to cut into mats, they will need binding, so thats the next job.

Nothing planned for this evening, a nice warm, soothing, lavender scented bath calls, might have an early night with my book.................

Afternoon all - i had a quick peek at you all at lunchtime - so that's what you all get up to when I'm hard at w*rk - cheers for the laughs (the civil service will of course be sending an invoice for a coffee splashed screen)

Rushing around this evening as it's our Big Telly Night - "our" programe for me and Torchwood for dd and everything noisy must be done with by then - regular readers will remember that I "ruined" last week's torchwood by selfishly stubbing my toe and hopping about in pain for one or two nanoseconds

tea tonight is fried potatoes, fish fingers and baked beans - yay we're having Kid Food - I love being a single parent

have a good evening

Blairweech

Well, I have only just found out that heath Ledger has dies. How sad

Stef I hope you are not so selfish with the toe stubbing this week

So, we trimmed our bay tree, it was all straggly but is back in its lovely shape now.

Catowen Do you want a bingbag of bay leaves (you live near me!)

That wasn't really the plan for the day, but never mind. Have also washed the kitchen floor.

Dunno what else I am going to do tonight...sit here I guess I might go and make some of Nigellas Peanut Butter Squares in a minute (I have some Pb that needs using)

BusyGirl

Hiya, I'm taping Martin's prog at the mo as I'm going to relax and watch it when DD2 is in bed and DD1 is back from Guides.
A very busy day in work today as we had a Teddy Bear's Picnic Day to link in with our current topic. We had lots of very excited LOs who were very well behaved but very hard work, so my knees and back are aching tonight. I'm on a course tomorrow so I can sit and listen to someone else talk all day and try not to fall asleep!
Tonight's tea was hm (xmas)Turkey and Leek pie from the frezzer with lots of mash and veg and we were all stuffed after it. Not much os here tonight only the wm and td to go on, far too tired!

Hmm...

The program is over and the site currently has almost 9,000 people on line!

I thought things were getting a little slow

Still - this is much better than when we used to grind to a halt whenever we went much over 2,000

I just checked again - a few have dropped off line but we broke the record this evening...

Most users ever online was 8,921, Today at 8:20 PM.

Well BIL just rang me up before. It was at 6am. Lucky I was awake. :rolleyes: DNiece had the baby (girl) just after 5am this morning (that being 24th Jan) after 30 hours of labour. :eek: They ended up giving her a c-section. She was 9lb 9oz and 59cm long. Ouch. Mum & baby are doing well. DSis very tired too. She was there with her and cut the cord.

Got a busy morning lined up as I'm looking after DGS again this arv. There's been a few things XDIL has had to do and it seems to have landed all this week. Next week I'll be helping DD pack. Moiliere, well that's praise from a professional.

I wanna parrot just like Pooky's. I wonder if they will take the toaster back.
Have a good night's sleep. Byeeeeeeeee

Congratulations Great Auntie Aussie. :beer: :j

Have a lovely holiday Essex Girl.

Just back from a school board meeting. Came home via tesco and got a ton of bargains. :j Fillet steak, 3x organic smoothies, finest large steak pie and 2 HL ready meals all at 10p each. The ready meals were "buy 2 get save £1" so that also went through and Tesco paid me 80p to buy them. :beer:

Made a macaroni cheese, tuna pasta bake and chicken and sweetcorn soup this afternoon and tried a plait loaf for the first time which worked really well.

Off to make up packed lunches and tidy the kitchen.

Night night.
