    Dusty kitten - AF? you've got me on that one...i know when you remind me it will be so obvious, lol! I tell you, i think i broke my brain as well as my wrist!

    i'm glad it's not just me over reacting about the jehovah's thing. mumoftwo...that's is so scary isn't it. my ex brother in law became one when he left my sister. he often tells their children that the reason they are ill with coughs and colds and stuff is because they don't 'believe'. i'm not saying all of them are like this it's just my experience.

    off to get the children then my mum is collecting them to give them their tea. bless her xx

    by the way...i've had to turn the heating down, it works so well now that i got too hot! xx
  • Phew! Can I sit down please before I go do school runs in 10 mins??????

    Kitchen back to its usual sparkly-ish state. Had lunch. Weather changed from blowing a hooley, to piddling down so now have 3 washer loads lined up for TD. After lunch decided I should crack on and get ahead with cooking. So the cooker has been on since 12.30 and have made (get me!)

    - 10 mixed grain rolls for pack ups
    - HM fish pie for tonight's dinner
    - HM cherry pie (HUUUUUUGE one) for pudding with ice cream
    - used up leftover pastry and made apricot jam tarts
    - tray of baked potatoes for lunches to simply zap in the microwave
    - HM tortilla dough is currently resting ready to roll out for tomorrow's tea
    - onions, peppers, sundried toms and chicken strips roasting in oven.

    I am so chuffed :j

    Just to to make some tzatziki for the chicken tortilla wraps and that's me done.:T :T

    Also S/S'd downstairs loo.

    Catch ya'll later
