    Good morning everyone,

    Another one off to w**k very soon. I made Twink's hobnobs at the weekend, thinking I could take them to work with me today so I didn't eat them all. They were such a hit with my neighbours and my small son that there are only 8 left!

    N9eav, I hope your hand is ok.

    Thinking of you Pen-Pin, and your dh too for this afternoon, and (((hugs))) to Smoky and the littlies.

    Take care all of you

    Well as I said its cold here but bright, lookls like it might be nice later, will shove a wash on in a while, its a good drying day.

    Will have a good tidy through today, DD'd bedding needs changing. We have cold beef, mash peas and pickle for tea, so nice and easy there.

    Morning all.

    3 hours sleep last night :eek: The man in the mirror is not me today, it's someone I don't recognise and he has no right to be in my mirror :rolleyes:

    Supreme effort is required to load up the sc with some part of a cow that I found in the freezer and if I've got enough energy to eat it for tea, it WILL have been a good day.

    My thoughts, for what little use they are :o , are with anyone who is in need of them. Take care and be safe.

    Man try :D

    Hi all. Just back on here with a cup of coffee before I get cracking.

    N9EAV - get that tetanus shot - better safe than sorry!

    JANNIEANNIE - hope your neck feels better soon.

    HESTER - how is hubby's head?

    MARTYN - hope you get a better night's sleep tonight.

    Well, DH has just left having trod a load of mud in on my dining room carpet so that will be a lovely job to look forward to once it's dried! Yesterday, he dropped a whole 2 litre container of milk on the floor; the top half of the container almost came away from the bottom half and the milk ended up all over the kitchen floor, under the fridge and up the front of the cupboard doors! What a mess it made. The quickest way to clean it up was to use a dustpan and brush first to scoop it up and then DH washed the floor; we had to pull the fridge out and, for the rest of the day, I kept seeing splashes of it on things. Anyway, we must have got it all up because nothing has that awful 'spilt milk' smell.

    Anyway, he's gone now, to cause havoc elsewhere!

    I must whizz through my chores because I am determined to get to the gym fairly early this morning. It's lovely here at the moment but I don't think it will last because the clouds are just starting to appear.

    Well, I'm off - I'm trying not to waffle as much these days but I don't know how long I can last!

    Have a good day, everyone.

    Hi RedRuby - thanks, but I'm not sure Martyn would agree with you! The thing is, as my DH says, I never manage to run out of words!
