    Good Morning All

    Happy Birthday to Chardonnay, Metherer and Redruby - hope you all have wonderful days :beer:

    Congratulations Scuzz :T & how lovely to be able to decorate it before you move in.

    Miserable looking outside today, think this is our last dry day for a while. Oh is at home and will be doing the school run. I will be doing so paperwork in my office this morning and will definately do my horrible filing job. Ironing this afternoon but there is only a little there.

    Chicken wraps for tea - they are everyone's favourite. Have no plans this weekend so it looks like its going to be a peaceful one.

  • Morning all, and what a beautiful, no work to go to day it is! Unfortunately, my flogging myself getting everything done yesterday so that today could be a bike riding free to do what i like day has backfired on me as the weather at the moment is black cloud, wind and threatening rain so my leisurely bike ride to take myself shopping for the day is in doubt unless it reaaaly brightens up after the school run - bet it wont:rolleyes:
    Instead I shall have to go by car:p I WILL have a day mooching around the shops and treating myself if it kills me:rotfl:
    :wave: Morning Churchmouse
    :naughty:Haribo:rotfl: You know why!:rotfl:
    I put a wash load out last night before i went to bed (strange i know but it was dry out there and it beats having wet washing hanging around). This morning it just needed putting on the radiators to air so it was worth doing as the wind did its job last night and i got it in before the rain starts today so that was a result.
    Chardonnay, Metherer and Redruby- Happy Birthday!:T
    Good luck in your new flat scuzz
    Whatever you are all doing - have a good day ((((smoky))) thinking of you and yours.

    Morning.

    Happy Birthday Redruby, Metherer and Chardonnay.

    Hope the flat completes ok Scuzz.

    Hester, I bet you can't wait until the end of summer term to evict Katy.... :D

    My recycling wheelie bin is lying here on it's side in the kitchen...when I brought it back in from being emptied, I noticed that one of it's wheels seemed a little wonky :confused: when I looked closer, the little solid rubber tyre has come off the plastic and the plastic is all dented. Mr Twit has now confessed to hitting it with his van :mad: Csarina...can I borrow a GGRRRRR!. Lord only knows how much the council will want for a new one, as it's impossible to fix....MEN.

    On a brighter note, my snooker partner and I each won a box of biccies last night :rolleyes: .

    Hugs and love to all.

    Morning all

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY RED RUBY, CHARDONAY AND METHERER :j :beer: :T

    Not been around for a few days, not much to report, oven broke at the weekend and we're waiting for the bit to arrive so OS cooking has gone out the window.

    Eldest DD has a kidney infection so she's feeling very sore and miserable, youngest DD is having a moody week - it's hormone city here :eek: .

    No plans for the weekend, well unless going to ASDA counts - that's as exciting as it gets :rolleyes:

    Hope you all have a great day.

    Am off soon to help DH on his milk round - he's picking me up, he did the early bit himself, its a way of spending time with him before I go away for the week to Cornwall. Got to pack later then tonight pick DS1 up after his radio show in Worcester.

    Good morning everyone!!!
    Happy birthday Redruby :bdaycake:
    Happy birthday Metherer:bdaycake:
    Happy birthday Chardonnay:bdaycake:
    Beautiful sunny morning here, the birds are singing and DD has gone to school, (other DD still in bed). It was a laugh in here last night-and as for us all being mad... I resemble that remark!!!:rotfl: :rotfl:
    Right, I've just had a bath and am now having a cuppa. Eldest DD got into my bed for a cuddle this morning and said didn't I think it was time I got up!!! I think she just likes my bed coz it's bigger than hers
    I went to the chemist yesterday for a sample bottle for DD-for hospital today (coz she can't wee to order) and the little bottle cost me 50p!!!! So today i shall be asking hospital if I can bring one home for next time from them!!!
    My youngest DD brought me a plantpot with 2 sunflower seeds in from an evening club she attends last week and there are now shoots about 5 inches tall!!!
    Rang my sister yesterday and my nephew is still poorly he is at home and has to have total rest still-they had to take him to hospital the other day and his breathing was shallow and raspy, a worried neighbour (of his gf) said he should take their oxygen tank and new mask and he was on oxygen for most of the trip to the hospital. The staff met him with a wheelchair. They did a few tests and sent him home!!!!
    Anyway, better go and do something-getting dressed might be a good idea
    (((hugs))) to all who need or want one.

  • :bdaycake: Happy Birthday to Metherer and Red Ruby also


    Well i managed to get back to sleep evenually, i think it was around 4am. It wasnt really worth it since i was up at 6 anyway :rolleyes: But i suppose an extra 2 hours is better than none...

    ((Hugs)) and Good Morning to those who are up now and need a hug or just want one.

    Right i must send the little 2 off to school, get on with some chores and i must catch up with this week on OS. I feel that i have missed so much by not being able to post everyday this week.

    My friends coming for a coffee at lunchtime and i promissed i would show her a great way to get stuck on dry food off her pyrex ( soaking with some stardrops ;) ) also told her i can tell her a few tips that i have picked up on here ( Since i am always telling her about OS on here thought i should share some things i have learnt ) She thought i was crazy making my own bread until she came round and smelt it cooking. Ones in the BM for her now :rotfl:
    furrypig says:my name is Choccy and I am addicted to nose free stamps as I want to save them all and give them noses!!!:rotfl:
    About me. Im Choccy or Chocolate orange depending on where i am.Yes occasionally i am a total looon who spends too long online,but no where near as much £ as her spendy elves do ..:D
