Morning all
A quick wave to studentgirl, I'm in Berkshire too.
I spent 10 minutes explaining the phrase 'backwards compatible' to Katy yesterday when she explained the problem she was having with my pc.
So far there has been no interest in her job, she is the only applicant, she will probably get the job by default, scary isn't it.
Hope everything goes ok JackieO, big hugs to Mrs Mix, PP & Jayward.

:hello: :hello: :hello: Hi everyone

Ages since last posting so hope everyone is OK. special wishes to all those celebrating and gentle thoughts to all those who need 1.

Well DOH and I are on our second leg of the winter in Spain. Arrived back 29th of Jan and return to the UK 15th May. All well so far and the weather has been wonderful so far ( sorry to those freezing)

On the OS and MS front the biggest impact is the quality and calibre of the fresh fruit and veg also freebies for marmalade making.

Finding our way around -- wonderful trip to Granada and the Alhambra Palace and Festival where the procession went on for 6 hours. Celbrations for Lent are big here and everyone gets involved from babies in pushchairs upwards.

Hope Donny Gal is still enjoying her time in Spain and often think of Seven Day Weekend,

Hi to Taplady

hope everyone is feeling the romance in the air tomorrow and big gestures from loved ones are on their way !!!

Morning all :wave:

Lovely crisp morning here today - notice I'm trying to put a positive slant on freezing and dark :rolleyes:

JackieO, hope everything goes well today, hope your doctor looks like Brad Pitt or George Clooney

loopylou, tomorrow is Valentine's Day, so it's a perfect day to start making babies

Went to my first weigh-in at SW yesterday, and lost 4 lbs, so I'm hoping the thin me inside will start to show soon. Work today, so I'm having a Green Day, lots of rice and pasta.

Have a good day everyone and (((hugs))) to anyone who wants one x

Good morning everyone,

Not chilly here at all today. Humid actually. No rain. Got 2 inches yesterday in the rain gauge. Looks overcast now though. OK, enough of the weather report. DGS & XDIL came for a visit this morning. I"m having my Ninny day on Friday this week. Made some carrot soup in the SC. A couple of batches of basil pesto. Fresh basil from the garden.

furrypig Bon Voyage & hope you have a lovely holiday.
JackieO Hope all goes well today.
MrsMix :wave: hope you had a better night last night.

Will pop back later as I need to check tea in the oven. It smells a bit burny. Byeeeeeeeee

P.S. Sorry for the overuse of the word *hope*. Tired brain.

Morning All

furrypig - Have a great holiday.

Super cold here today. Car was frozen up for the third morning in a row. Just found out the heating's off in the office again:mad:

Went to chat to someone about this task I have to do for a potential employer. I have to write a piece on a certain industry with its challenges and opportunities, so thought I'd do some research. Went VERY well. Just need to write it now:p

Did very well at the butcher yesterday. Got 10 chump chops for £10, a mutton leg for £10 and 12 lamb hearts for £5. So many, many dinners there.

Done some daily clicks, got a few more to do and some surveys.

Hope everyone's ok

morning all,

very cold and frosty here too, they said it would turn wintery today and they were right.

Off to work today, so will have a quick swipe, just put the SC on to warm through, will shove the chops in before I go, will cook them on a low, then cover them in reggae sauce, and grill them to finish off later, will have rice and peas with them yum.

Was very pleased with my HM bread it was so quick and easy, will be doing that again, just made a sandwich for work.

Took DD to the DR last night as she has another ear infection, this is about the third one this winter, seems she sufferes from them.

JackieO hope all goes well for you xx

furrypig enjoy your holiday, Im not jealous xx

Hope you all have good days xx

Morning all,
Just a quick post, to say hi to you all, first wash load is out on the line, Beef Burgers for dinner tonight with whatever veg i can rustle up. Spent £26.46 in the fruit and veg shop yesterday:eek: that is taking into account my current obsession with mangos though:o I eat them two at a time at the moment, and have cravings for them. The weather forecast looks like today is the last dry day for a few days but at least the weekend looks good. Mind you, that depends on if they are right:rolleyes:
Will catch up and read the thread after work later. Hugs and best wishes to all who need or want them.

Having my last "domestic day" of the half-term today. I'm going to do some baking for a friend who's not well, and take lunch to her and her family tomorrow. Iwant to make some heart shortbread for DH - we've been together 21 years tomorrow :eek: :smileyhea We're off to Berkshire and London for the wekend, so we need to pack for that.

Have a great day, Penny. x

Morning Guys!


Jackie0-Hugs and thinking of you. The line is alot easier than being pricked everytime you need chemo. OH has a cousin living at Herne Bay.

Had a bad night, so not doing anything again today. Have the nurse coming in at 8am,

OH sat up with me last night as I had had a horrible dream and woke up sobbing. We decided to give each other our Valentines cards, so had a snuggle in bed then I managed to get back to sleep. I dont know how he puts up with me at times

Yesterdays stew was lovely and will make the remains into a soup. Tonight we have fish, mash and veg. My helper came yesterday and she's already done the spuds for me.

Anyway, I hope everyone else is well and ok.

Hugs to all.
