Falling asleep...back from Cork at 9pm and feel just as tired as if I had driven the 300 miles, so heading for bed in a minute.

Hugs to Smoky, PenPin, Anniestar, Anniebooklover, Ms Tattycath and anyone else in need or want.

Just posting to give special hugs to Smoky & her children. I echo what everyone else is saying. It's going to take a lot of time & slowly does it. Don't focus on what you're not doing. You are taking care of the kids. That's the main thing. Just go easy on your self.

Nice to see new posters and ones who've come back to the fold. Back to the sewing machine for me after my chores are done. Except I got the wrong size zipper so it might come to a halt. :rolleyes:

Haribo Do you need the pork when making those beans? They sound really nice. Do you they give you wind?
CM Maybe DH should make the bed from now on & you stick to the kitchen.

Hope you all have a good nights sleep. Byeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Oi Missus! You keep your bright ideas to yourself, thanks very much:p This morning's arrangement seems very good to me, and one that could bear repeating tomorrow;)

Not too bad a day today, I've managed to make up a batch of white bread rolls and a batch of wholemeal ones, some shaped ones like hedgehogs and some as mice (wonky ones I'm afraid:D ) also popped some leek and potato soup into the freezer - the soup bags from lakeland are really good. Made a huge pan of chicken stock from the remains of yesterdays chicken and have enough meat for 1- 2 more meals.

I've finished another little (tiny really) preemie hat in pale pink and started another in mint green. I have coped with a days paperwork on the day it came in! :rolleyes: Also some surveys have finally been done. The ironing pile is mounting up again though!:o

(((hugs))) to those feeling poorly and huge ((((hugs))) to smokybabe and lo's

Evening all

Aussie - SNICKERDOODLES :p:p:p:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Sorry couldn't resist that!

((((((hugs)))))) to everyone, smoky, annie martyn and anyone else I forgot to mention.

Dinner tonight was sausage casserole made from last nights leftovers. I've got lunches all made for the morning as I need to be collectiong my colleague and on the road to Belfast by 6am :eek:

Busy for the rest of the week at work, it's one of my biggest runs, so I will be wrecked by Friday as usual.
Made another loaf in the Panny today, it's all but gone! This is a good sign, it was never used that quickly when I had the fastbake, definitely a good bu me thinks

Been busy this evening out in my wee greenhouse, I'm so chuffed that DH made it for me out of recycled things, I'm like a kid with a new toy. Have to plant my peppers and tomatoes tomorrow, got them reduced in woolies at the weekend, so I will see if they amount to anything. If they do, I'll be needing lots of recipes to use them all up. I did make a curry starter pot that some one mentioned on here, sorry can't rememeber who, have used some in tomato based sauces and it's darn good, if a little firey. Might be the fact that there's about 6 chillies in it in total. :rolleyes:

I'm off to bed in a mo, so see you all tomorrow.
