Hi

Congratulations to Johanne and Auntie Nicki:beer:

Mudbath i'm glad you're operation went well.

I can't remember what else i was going to say:o .

Ds has been running around all day on his poorly foot:eek: . How do you keep a 2yr old still. Consequently we ended up back up the hospital because it started bleeding again. They only dressed it again thankfully it hadn't come unstuck.

I'm not posting my list cause i haven't done anything.:o

Hello, cow's tail here..
Happy birthday GnB, hope you've had a good day and been spoiled.
Congratulations Johanne and aunty Nikki! I think Sarah's a lovely name too.
Jill, I completely missed Heroes last night, I'll try and catch it on BBC i-player later. Don't know anyone who did watch it either so no good or bad reviews.hmm.

I've been very good this evening and didn't come on line until I'd done my jobs. I've level 2'd my bedroom and had a good tidy of the spare room. I could've spared myself either of those if I'd read the thread sooner though. I was looking for lost things, including my new glasses,all of which I found but needless to say not in the spare room or my room. Hey ho; they're tidy now!

Had a bit of a rubbish day today, stewing and brewing over man problems (what a waste of time and emotional energy, yes I know) but I plan on having a chat, or even a Chat with a capital c, soon 'cos it's driving me crackers.
Good news is I'm getting some freebies. My mate has just joined a posh gym and is giving me the three free visitors passes. Girly swimming and a steam room is my limit but all freeee!

Any one got any spare vino, I fancy a glass tonight and haven't any in.

Prettypennies – what’s Gulyas and Galuska?

Gulyas is basically Goulash Soup and Galuska are a type of Hungarian Dumpling.

There is a recipe for it on the UKTV site by Silvena Rowe.

I prefer mine a bit thicker so I don't use as much water.
Also, normally use veal instead of beef

Can i ask what the words of the prayer our, i'll try anything to find it.

I haven't read through posts to see if you have found it yet so apologies if this is a bit late. We just say 'Please St Anthony , help me find .......' And it has always worked. My mum used to get us to say it when we lost things and now I get my kids to and they think I am mad, but it works.

Hope all the little people are feeling better and the Flyladies who were under the weather too. (Has anyone heard from Hev today?) Hugs to all of you. Goodnight and sleep well.
