    Morning all! It's the Sheffield Mini-meet today, so I need to do a quick swish round, then off to pick up Donny-gal.

    Have a small pile of ironing to do (DS needs a school shirt), and hoover round downstairs.

    Choir tonight, and maybe a glass of something at the pub afterwards!

    Have a great day, Penny. x

    Morning all
    Off to work in a mo, no lunch duty today, so I can leave at 3:30.
    Tinned salmon sarnies for lunch, I've made a tin last 5 days.
    I've taken hubby to the station again today, but it's due to rain by 1 so no doubt he'll be home early again.
    Chicken for tea, I'll prep it tonight, southern fried style, I think with HM wedges.
    I hope the wind has dropped today, I'm not sure why it affects the kids, but it does, I had my door kicked in so many times yesterday.
    I got called to the med room as the lady there was having a bad day (week/month/life) & didn't want to phone this particular parent as she can't understand their accent, I went to the room expecting to deal with Thai or Polish parent, parent is a Scot!!!! Our Med lady is as nutty as a fruit cake., she doesn't do eyes, blood or accents.
    Big hugs to those in need.
    Hester.

    Hello everybody,

    It's been a lovely warm day here. :D Went to Mass this morning, then got home and did the house out. After lunch I sorted out the budget, made some cereal & got tea organised. I'm also making a rag bag from a Scottish tea towel that I acquired from somewhere. I'll sew it over the weekend but it's all pinned ready to go.

    My sister & BIL & 2 grandkids are coming over on Easter Sat for DGS birthday so that will be lovely. Ninny day tomorrow. I'm having Mushroom & Chickpea curry with rice tonight for tea. It uses coconut milk and it tastes yum.

    MrsMix :wave:
    Charlies Mum See you tomorrow. :rolleyes:
    Donnygal I hope your face goes down before the meet. Don't forget they're taking photo's. :D
    Ruby Hope it goes well with your Mum. <hugs>

    Hope you all have a great day. Will pop in later. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
    Don't worry about the world coming to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia. ;)

    Morning Everyone

    DD is at nursery this morning then we are going to an open day at pre-school this afternoon. I have been awake on and off coughing all night so I'll be resting this morning. I may use the time to go through the pile of paperwork that is building up.

    Have a good day everyone

    Morning all,

    (((HUGS))) to those who want/need them.

    Packed lunches done and did all house work last night. Just a bit of ironing to go and then I'm going to get on with my list. I'm constantly tired despite not doing much as I don't start new job til end of month. It's worrying me because I think how on earth am I going to survive full time work when I'm soooo tired all the time now?

    Have got a nice day planned shopping for an outfit for DB's wedding tomorrow and a busy weekend planned so all systems go today to get odds and ends finished off.

    Need to take cat to vets to get her checked out as seems to have a problem with her ears but don't know how to get her there cos haven't got a cat box!

    Am watching what I eat at the mo cos have gone from a 12 to a large 14 but ended up in the chip shop last night :( not very OS. Bangers n mash for dinner and need to make a b'day cake for DD2 :D.

    Hope everyone has a great day xx

    Good morning everyone,

    I've had flu so I've been out of acton for the last week (in bed mostly). I'm still coughing myself inside out - well that's what it feels like, but I'm definately getting better.

    Hugs to Smoky, I hope Eric has a good day today.

    Take care all of you.
