Hi just managed to catch up with all the posts (phew :cool:)

Just wanted to send hugs to Vanilla and hope you win the fight Wedensday does sound too soon considering how ill OH has been.

Mudbath what a thoughtful son you have

Mudbath

thanks for the recipe chasing butterflies. i'm thinking of being good any buying a muffin tin off ebay as i've got some money in paypal. then again it depends on the postage and packing. muffin tins are nearly £20 which seems a lot. what do you all think? xx

and did i need a laugh. what do you think it looks like sat in a&e with your son who has a suspected broken ankle and i'm there with my plaster!! anyway, 3 hours there and he's sprained it bless him. how? well, he decided to pretend to fall over because they were racing in PE and he was up against a little girl with aspergers who never wins races. he wanted her to win, bless him. who's got an open bottle of red? xx

Now that brought tears to my eyes. Give that lad a big treat this weekend, as thats the most kind hearted thing I've heard all week.

Massive hugs to vanilla for everything you have to cope with.

Great news about Shannon, hope she gets over it quickly.

Right off to finish DD's rooms which will only leave Living rooms over weekend plus hope to do some flinging in DS old bedroom (or shall I leave that until Easter hols when I'm off for a week). Will have Monster iron mountain to climb after collecting DS washing today as well.

I would do the meal planning this weekend but there's not much point - I have full cupboards, fridge & freezer :rotfl: The only thing grocery wise I've bought since the 1st March is bananas, 3 pizza/garlicbread from Asda (treat for me and DD while ex was working late), hot cross buns, hamburger relish, cheese slices and some crumpets :rotfl::rotfl: Seriously, I can tell ex has moved out the food is lasting ages. :rotfl::rotfl:

Well my plan for the weekend is to meet some friends and their kids at Albert Dock tomorrow afternoon, go to the museum and then the pub :rotfl: Yes DD will be with me, but thats the whole idea - she gets to meet the kids of some of my friends so they can start hanging out together during the holidays and I can have some adult interaction other than "virtual", family, shopkeepers and public transport people

Haven't decided what else I'll do yet, but as long as I have DD packed for Wednesday night (she's going to stay with ex & his parents for a couple of days over Easter like she normally would go and stay ) and I'm here for when they get back on Saturday I'm making NO PLANS at all Hell I might even see if someone out there in my virtual friends fancies going out for a few drinks while DD is away Hmm...off to check out the erm....company :wave:

SAV3R

Evening all :j

Yey, its the weekend! :j :j

Not really flying today,
Kids rooms ok, thorough clean last week, (they don't play in them much anyway), will hoover tomorrow.

Online banking balanced, cancelled direct debit for home ins, forgot to do that when paying in it full, don't want to pay twice.

Menu Planner done - shopping list written for tomorrow, big shop this week.:eek:

Cheese and potato bake for tea at request of DS1, yummy, not had that for ages.

Mudbath - I have a 12 hole muffin tin, think I got it from Lakeland, not sure if they still do them, I daren't shop there at the moment, I spend too much.

Vanilla - sending hugs to you, sorry, don't know what else to say. Hope you get the help and support for longer, sounds like it's needed.

Just watching Corrie, OMG, that David, are there people really like him?:mad:

Mudbath

sav3R they do a jamie oliver one? is it like this? http://www.lakeland.co.uk/product.aspx/!11361_11360

soappie

Mudbath

Your son gets a medal of something-or-other from me. He deserves it. You should be v. proud.

I 'll see you a glass of white and then raise you a G&T

Hic!

SAV3R

Mudbath - sorry , I was just looking at these myself. I did get mine a few years ago, but I was sure it was one of theirs. The Silicone ones are supposed to be very good, but i agree, they are expensive.

I had planned to make these myself over the weekend, just realised I forgot to include cases on my shop list. I am hoping to make blueberry for myself and choc chip for kids. I baked last week for the first time in ages and enjoyed it, just have a problem finding the time between work, kids, flying etc.

Mudbath

thanks for your kind words about my son, he was given a certificate at the hospital for being so kind and his teacher phoned me tonight to say how proud she was of him. he's a real sweetie like that...can't stand people being mean to the little girl though he's very keen to tell me 'i don't love her you know', lol.

sav3r - so do you think silicon are the better ones. also, do you not use the cases with silicon ones? xx

SAV3R

Mudbath - I have not used the silicone ones personally. I have been told they are very good, they are also apparently easier to store, they can be squashed into a storage container, and they are easier to clean.

I did see them used once on TV, they didn't use cases, so I suppose there is a saving in the long run.

I'm beginning to think I should have some of these....
