    Morning everyone.
    Happy birthday churchmouse!!!

    Well iv not been on for a few days, dh has got vertigo, he tried to go back to work after all last week off, but i ended up going to pick him up by 9.30am yesterday, Hes getting really anoyed about it as the tablets are not stopping the dizzyness and he wants to be able to work, plus he was told this could last on and off for years now!! Im dont know much about vertigo but if anyone has any ideas how he can stop the dizzyness (os methods of cause) id love to know.

    Right off to hoover upstairs before i go off to my Nhs quit smoking group, 19 days today and feeling great!!!

  • Morning all :j

    Happy birthday to Churchmouse - hope you have a lovely day!! :)
    (((hugs))) to Tru, sorry about your pig :(

    Hugs to anyone else who needs them today

    Have just dropped OH off at the train station, he's in Glasgow until tomorrow night :j lol i'm awful to get excited about him going away but i get sooooo much more done without him under my feet, plus i get the bed all to myself :rotfl:

    I've got a long list of things i want to get done around the house and have just put a corned beef hash in the slow cooker, never tried it in there before so we'll see how it goes. When DD gets home from school we're doing some baking, just a simple traybake or fairy cakes and then we're making pancakes for tea :)

    B - Cereal for me and DD, OH eating on train (first class - get him!)
    D - beans on toast with lots of brown sauce for me!
    T - Soup and bread or cheese on toast followed by pancakes

    Have a good day all

    Hi again,
    i`m having a well earned cuppa.
    Not quite finished the upstairs yet but it looks tons better already i got side tracked and decided to do a few things that could easily wait but thought i would get them out of the way.
    The hounds are wide awake now and are wondering when they will get a walk but i must at least finish the upstairs first or i will not carry on with it later.
    Think i`ll do a bit in the kitchen too later, DH has jst rung to let me know he will be home early today so i`ve got until around 230 to finish up with no one under my feet so i`ll run back upstairs now and get stuck in.
    Catch up later
    SD
    Planning on starting the GC again soon :p

    Hi all, :wave:

    Quite day here - boss is still away, which is good. Got started nice and early too, although I was presenting this morning and got my slides mixed up - but then it's pretty informal and everyone just wants coffee at this time in the morning. Chased up some outstanding money college owed me - which was nice. Sorted out some stuff to sell on ebay and on our internal online college marketplace (good for shifting bulky items, and no fees are incurred). Got to make birthday cake for OH tonight and have a think about some picnic food to take to London on Thursday. I made curry with a quarter of the largest cauliflower in the world last night using one of curryqueens recipes and it was lovely - which is good as we are going to be eating it for days:rotfl:

    Hester, just tell Katy all fruit is poisonous anyway, then she won't touch it, that's truely crazy - you have the patience of an angel :A
    tru, sorry about your little piggy, that's really sad :(
    Happy birthday churchmouse! :bdaycake:

    best of luck with the application scuzz!

    have a good day all, celyn x

    Happy Birthday Churchmouse!!!


    :bdaycake: :bdaycake:

    DD has just been to the orthodontist and DH has come home after dropping her off at school.

    Washing machine is on and need to go load dishwasher and clean the cooker hob.

    Might do sausage and mash for tea and sweet pancakes for after.

    Tru sorry about the pig!

    Hester

    Katy sounds more than a few sandwiches sort of a picanic basket as Yogi Bear would say1!!!

    When DDs present gets delivered for her birhday later this month will take it to Newcastle for her and treat her to lunch.

    Bet door bell goes as I am in the shower!!!

    Morning folks

    I have 2 days off!!! I swapped my days at work so that I am off today and tomorrow and working thursday and Friday. I just really need some me time, to sort the house and food out etc. I did get a text asking me to come in today but I said no :D

    So, today I just have so much to do I don't know where to start. Might sling all the wood in the shed and put some washing out. Am hoping to pop into charity shops in Saltash/Liskeard today as well.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHURCHMOUSE!!!!!! Hope you have a fantastic day

    Anyway, I'ld better get going. Hope you all have a good day

    Dinner tonight is pancakes.

    sorry about Piggy Tru

    hugs for eveyone else how needs one, and hope everyones day has something good in it

    ive just made my batter for tonight-i had a trial run last night as im doing eggless pancakes with 2 of the DDs being vegan. It worked well lads enjoyed it as they saw it a bonus pancakes. Dry and sunny here so far just got 1 load of washing to hang out and another to get going.

    Had a NSD yesterday but just had to pick up bananas and mushroom as they'd all gone.
    hoping the rest of the week is NSDs as im spent out till friday-next week is 1/2 term so ill have the dinnermoney in hand and will be looking at going to the libary a couple of times and weather permitting a bike ride failing that got loads of craft bits in for making easter and mothers day cards for godmums and grandmas (free entertainment that keeps them busy)

    afternoon.

    Will be getting my daughter ready for nursery soon, yesterday she LOVED it.
    I have cleaned the house but not very good still on a feel sorry for my self day!!!
    Thank you everyone for your kind words yesterday about me finding out am not expecting this time, we have actually decided after a long chat last night to get the house decorated top to bottom and take the kids on holiday, see how we feel next year......Because as I said to mr. pig last night I wonder if I really want a baby or is it because a few of my friends are either very pregnant or just had a baby and my daughter has started nursery and since I had my DS 9 years ago I have always had a baby to look after when the other started school (I have 3 little people in total:rotfl: )......I hope that Doesn't that sound to spiteful?

    Anyway enough of me moaning at you all, i know you have your own problems to deal with out me spewing out mine lol

    Hope you all have a lovely day
