OS Daily for Saturday 22nd March (that's better!!)

Well we went to the park and guess what ... no ducks .... they knew something we didn't - snow and sleet was just around the corner. Beggar it! -we had missed the bus back too. Ended up getting a bus going the other way to go to the aiport to look at the planes. Poor dgs thought we were going on one - bless. There is nowhere at the airport to look at planes any more so we had a "transport" day - travel between the terminals is free so we did lots of buses and the heathrow express. Back to town for a much needed coffee via blockbusters where I bought loads of dvds for £1.99 - seems no one else wanted them and dd18 says she knows why now she's seen them. (the orginal oliver twist, white christmas, holiday inn and some others - what's wrong with those). Met up with dd22 while dropping dgs off and took her to Mr T for the easter eggs and the leg of lamb for mondays' Easter Extravaganza - shock horror - they had run out of both. Have had a rethink and am doing pork instead (yes pork is very appropriate for easter - think of all the new piggy-wiggies gambolling about the fields in spring - sigh) and boxes of chocolate and pressies instead of eggs. The Great Back Garden Easter Egg hunt is going to be a bit strange with fun size bars instead of eggs but thats what you get when you don't plan properly. could have been worse as I was convinced that the shops were open tomorrow and closed on monday - fridge debris soup anyone? Anyhoo dd22 is here for a dvd fest (little does she know what's on offer mwaaahaaahaaahaaa) and steak and chips so will catch up with you all later

Just had to laugh at this last post, as we went for a short walk on the canal tow path yesterday and the ducks were the same. They knew it was going to snow so they were up out of the water following us along quacking for bread. lol it gave me a fright! I only wanted some fresh air for a few mins as had been feeling lousy with a kidney infection- but we couldn't stop laughing on the way back as the sleet went in our faces.

It definitely wasn't me but as you were giving me credit I decided to try them today and they were fab. :T Not the right shape and the crosses disappeared but hey tasted fab.

Managed to finish painting all the eggs and made our little Easter tree. I'd post a pic but Pink syas it sounds tacky. :rolleyes: I suppose she would know.

Just eaten tea late cos lunch was late and about to get the girls to bed. The Easter Bunny has done his treasure map :rolleyes: and [STRIKE]I'll[/STRIKE] he'll be up at the crack of dawn hiding eggs [STRIKE]in my pink dressing gown[/STRIKE] in the snow if the forecast is to be believed.

Still haven't made the fish pie for tommorrow but the fish is poaching now.

Candygirl. Hugs to your Dad.
Bertieboots. I can highly recommend "doing a Tru". It works.
Stefejb. :rotfl:
Smoky pet, I hope you managed to get everything done that you needed to today and you made it through.

Haribo x

Went shopping in Leeds with three DDs and then treated them to the cinema while I pottered about the shops on my own.

Went to Nandos for a meal before DH picked us up in the car.

Bought DD(14) a top as a surprise and she actually likes it!!!!:rolleyes:

Am halfway through a square for smoky and then want to start on some nice red wool for the charity squares.

It was trying to snow so quite pleased to be home with a pot of tea and catching up on here.

Hugs to everybody.

At last, almost the end of another c**p day :rolleyes:

Cheer up, they said, it can only get better. Why then, after a morning where evrything I touched either broke, got dropped, or went wrong, did I have to do a late shift with TFAWTISNHMIHBBOFS!!! The worst of it is that at about 11.00, "we" have to do the late "patrol" and make sure the toilet blocks are okay and everyone is tucked up in bed with a mug of cocoa :mad: :mad: :mad: To make things even worse, I haven't got any pointy things and stringy stuff yet. I'm beginning to feel a bit of a fraud.

At times like this, I'm so glad that my doggies love me :j I even managed a "don't worry Dad, I love you" fuss from The Witch earlier on. That's the spaniel btw, not the MIL :rotfl:

Thanks for cheering me up Stefe, i`m at w**k and was feeling down in the dumps but now i`ve a smile on my face.
Not looking forward to the drive home in the snow though :eek: i`ve never driven in it before. Fingers crossed i`ll not be too nervous :rolleyes:
Have a good evening everyone.
