Not had time to read the thread, hope all are ok, I shall catch up tomorrow, but bed beckons me now. No sleep last night, and in work 6am -2pm!!

I have listed 21 things on ebay, mainly videos, and I have a messy pile on the bedroom floor that I will list tomorrow. I will slowly ebay the entire contents of my house!!

All bedding washed just need to get it dried now. Dinner on everyone starving today, if kids behave they will have a dvd to watch and some popcorn if they don't it's bed.

Wee done soappie, wish I knew what sort of thing to buy when it comes to things like that, but shhhhh be careful or the taxman might want his share.

As there was one local postcard I wanted in that bundle, then I'm selling on things I have no further use for That's my excuse anyway.

But I always do declare any extra income from non-no-further-use-for stuff to the taxman anyway (like dividends and my Google adsense money from a website I run). Because of the work I do and the way I run my services, I'm at higher risk of being investigated than a lot of people so I'd rather be squeaky clean now just in case.

We've had nice sunshine here now since about 4pmish and it's really warm. I sat in the garden in the sun for a bit just now with a G&T and it was too hot, so I've come back indoors to wait for the sun to go behind next door.

Just trying to decide what to do for dinner. I was going to do a chicken soup with the remains of Thursday's roast chicken but it's too hot for that. I might just settle for some salmon steaks that are in the freezer for me and DiL with some rice made up with peas, onions, dill etc. and salad. DS can have some of the cold chicken (he doesn't like salmon!)

:rotfl: sorry didn't realise I made such a bad typo until you quoted it, have corrected it

Paddling pool still isn't full!!! Good excuse to use the PC while I keep an eye on it. Still really warm here and I feel like I am cooking. Once this pools done I must sort through the freezer and list it before I put anything I ot from the farmshop in.

DP just sent me a text saying are we going out on the bikes this week, now I am scared, I still haven't braved it even when I said I would, I haven't even got on mine for about 9 years At least I will have built in saddle bags

Thanks for the receipe Vanilla, TUT not enough golden syrup.:mad:

So we've plumped for Lemon Curd cake :j

lil_me

Bargainbird I have made them minus the golden syrup and they came out just fine (it was because I couldn't get the tin open ) Oh and we must be too well behaved because a batch lasts usually 5 days to a week.

Pools full enough for me to give up fluffing cold tho :rotfl: DS2s been in twice braving it and jumped straight back out, one time was accidental and head first :rotfl: fishing grass out, they'll remember it isn't worth it eventually!

Grrrr I hate ignorant people who can see you have washing out then light a BBQ without warning you so you can get it in. Just dashed upstairs to shut the windows aswell. Maybe it's just me who is too considerate and warns people.

Hmm wonder where that bottle of wine is....? Think I put it in the fridge.

Could you arrange for a conveniently timed puncture?;)

And I know what you mean about people and barbecues! Fortunately there are none in these 'ere parts this evening - I've got the dog blanket from the car on the line drying at the moment.

Seems like DiL is having dinner at her parents so it'll be just me and DS - I will do the salmon and rice thing with chicken instead for DS.

Forgot to say Lil-me - if you can't find the wine, I'll give you a virtual glass

:beer:

Cheers!

Ooooh and look

Post 1000!

Does that mean I'm sad and don't have a life?
