Tru Cuddles for you. Sorry to hear your pig died. I can't believe I just wrote that. :cool:
Donny Blame CM. She begged me to start the thread. It was her birthday, what was I to do. :D
Mrs Mix :wave:

I made the Lumberjack cake today. Finally got some dates. It's really a lovely and moist cake. Was to tired to do any sewing. :rolleyes: Had an awful night's sleep last night. I went out and weeded the garden instead. Not so taxing on the brain.
Hope you all manage to keep warm. It's really humid here. Byeeeeeeeeee

Morning all!

Sorry to hear about your pig Tru :sad:

I watched the Dispatches programme last night (well 3/4) and it really was shocking. I just think its wrong when people have worked for forty years, worked hard and then they get a measley pension, which with food and gas prizes rising works out as hardly anything. Some of the house they lived in were just such a state. I just thinks its wrong. I just feel sorry for the elderly with no friends or family near by... they're just so lonely. It makes me think about volunteering?? A couple of hours a week to go and help someone, take them to do their shopping etc (I used to do that when my great nan was alive) (I'm now getting off my soapbox! )

I said to DH there probs wont be pensions when we get there (I'm 21).

Thanks for making me feel welcome on this board. I have learnt so much, but like I said in another post - this site is very addictive.

Enough waffling - I have got jobs to do.

Have a good day everyone!! x

Morning :wave:

I couldn't believe it when I signed in and saw the daily was on page 2 - thought you had all wet the bed

Lots of Ebay pack and wrap today, and I am going to go and join Slimmers World, I've decided I won't lose weight by myself - no willpower :rolleyes:

Pork chops and leek and bacon bake for tea, might as well overdose on cheese before I start my diet :rotfl:

Forgot to say, sorry about your pig Tru

:bdaycake: Churchmouse, have a good day

Crikey - not even 7am and page 2 already :eek: What a lot of chatterboxes :T

Huge Happy Birthday to my mate Churchie - have a good one, hun :beer: I know you'll appreciate the wine more than the cake

Tru - so sorry about your pig.

Early start for me today - need to be at the office for 8:15 to travel with my boss :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: to a training course at County Hall. I've done the laundry, made the pancake batter (as contrary to Delia's opinion, I think it is better left to stand before using) and tidied the kitchen.

And after lots of talking about it I've started to learn to crochet :j Anyone who comes in has to admire it. I may take it to w*** today and ask everyone there how clever they think I am. DD was very scathing and said it wasn't even big enough to be a scarf for a dolly :cool: Bloomin' cheek :rolleyes:

Have a great day, all.

Penny. x

morning all,

Happy birthday Churchmouse :beer: :j , have a good day xx

Tru, poor piggy, how sad x

Kyle, hope you and ds feel better soon ( go drink some water )

Pink, glad you got home OK, and that you are warmer x

Its raining here quite heavily, not sure I have too mush to do today, will have a quick swipe and hoover, don't think I have enought for a wash load. Have made dinner shepherds pie, which is in the fridge, just need to do the veg. Might make some cookies of scones, but I am short of flour, still will keep myself busy

I have ordered the bits and bobs to make bread and impossible pie which will come with shoping thursday, so will have a go at them next week.

Going to pay the balance off the holiday cottage today.

Have good days all xx

Good morning everyone!

Wow what a lot to read already!

Happy birthday Churchmouse!

All well in the furrypig household! I'm fed up with watching tv in the evenings so have been reading instead and DH has even joined me, very relaxing and I've been reading some good books!
Today work, school getting my haircut at home for the first time by this hairdresser always get a bit nervous (too many bad haircuts as a child have traumatised me for life!). We have shepherds pie for tea so most of it done already then I'm looking after a friends child for a short while before returning home for CSI I love thaqt programme!

Have great days everyon xxx

Thanks all I've got some pics of him on a disc somewhere, I'll put them on imagecave later, if you like.

I actually popped back to say - do you remember my Challenge Tru's House thread? Well I decided it wasn't really OS (tho parts of it are) and I didn't want it moved from here (tho I'd understand if it was) so I've decided to blog it instead, linky is in my profile if you want to read it (but you probably don't ) There's not much on it yet, I only started today :rolleyes:

Just applied for a new job - if I get it I'll be broadcasting to the nation:eek: Fingers crossed that I at least get to the interview stage.

oh the best of luck with that - don't forget we who were your friends before you were famous

happy birthday CM - have a wonderful day :beer:

sorry for your loss Tru

Well I'm all ready and raring to go but dd11 f**t*ssing about so we are going to skip breakfast club and go in a bit later - means !have time to [STRIKE]waste time on MSE as per usual[/STRIKE] get a head start on all my jobs. Not looking forward to w*rk this week - I am in the video link court and it's not working properly at the moment. when we were trained on it we were told that it was no more omplicated than a VCR wich makes it far too technical for me - hopefully my lovely boss has sorted out the glitches.

tea tonight will be gallons and gallons of pancakes - dd18, dgs3 and his little friend, and exoh all coming over this evening

have a good day - Kyle drink your water - there's a good girl
