    Oh c'mon mioliere, we're only teasing ;):kiss:

    Morning everybody :hello:

    Just got a scrumptious seeded loaf out of the BM (I already ate one end), it's cooling at the moment and will pop a couple of slices in the toaster in a mo.

    Penny-Pincher!! - thinking of you today.
    AMIE - hope the haircut turns out fab - sounds like an investment :D
    PenPen - I don't know the answer to your question I'm afraid - but will have a look around on the net this evening.
    Martyn - :kiss:

    Well I must get going - work today, then I need to write one of my reviews this evening. Need to get several loads of washing done too - the basket is full and I've run out of trousers :o

    See you later
    Love Rzl :wave:

    Morning all

    Just dropping by to say hi. Off to work in a mo, and then am at the dentists this afternoon for some root canal work on one of my top front teeth. Wish me luck, I'm really scared of the dentists!

    DH is doing better again, though his leg has swollen a bit. He's going to try and weedkill the dandelions at the allotment.

    Hugs all

    Morning Everyone

    Been really busy with the great kitchen makeover all weekend. How me and OH have not killed each other is a miracle. After renovating 3/4 of the house ourselves he still hasnt got the idea about tidying as you go. Got the plasterer here today to do the ceiling as thats something we can't do.

    I'm off to work in abit if dd ever gets dressed and tonight I want to go for a jog/walk as I've realised that my race for life is not far away.

    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!

    KathyXX

    Much as it hurts me to agree with southerners :rolleyes: I'm with Redruby on this one. Waffle away as much as you want to Kathy, it's all good for me. Don't forget, in the position I'm in at the moment I haven't got any choice so I'll take quantity rather than quality :rolleyes:

    sorry :D:D:D

    Man try :D

    morning lovely people

    Bit of drama last night - lit the cooker for a fag and caught the handle of the picnic bag which went up in flames - hurled the contents of a washing up bowl over it so no damage done - well the picnic bag is ruined mind. Only one of the girls woke up to the fire alarm and that was only to tell it to shut up so they have both been berated this morning - we will do some kind of fire drill tonight methinks.

    today i shall be mostly flying - just a tiny bit of last week's list to finish so am getting better - and waiting for a cd which i pre-ordered. No idea when it will come as it's only released today but when we preordered harry potter that was delivered on the release date so .... oh dear I'm waffling too

    Best wishes for PP today

    Morning all,

    Nice and sunny here too but dont know how long for.

    I shall have to get on here a little bit earlier in the morning i think, but by the time i've done OH's packed lunch, made breakfast and sorted out BM and WM and put pots in to soak its always this time already.....

    Well it was a fairly nice weekend and managed to get a few things done in the garden, altho at 11.30 OH's friend phoned to see if he would help him move his tools out of workshop and back to his, OH said yes and left me too it, (it being the right word) we have a compost heap that needs sorting as it built on the side of next doors brick shed, thats ok in itself but we found rats:eek: living under the shed, right behind the heap. I decided not to tackle it while OH wasnt with me. It will have to wait until OH free again, (yes i keep him locked up);)

    Anyway must dash i've got birthday card to make for my sister, and i've got to visit DD again, didnt make it Saturday as felt rotten, but fine now.

    :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: to all in need. Have a good day each and every one of you.
