    Hi again,
    Back home again now, Aldi's done, the junction boxes got from the electrial wholesaler (they deal with the public but are much cheaper and good quality/choice and not too much packaging), Surge protector posted back to Belkin. This was Wedneday's problem, but their Cust. Service. stood up to the test, and they emailed me a label to send it back with. They will send me a replacement, but I ended up going and getting another from Maplins and didn't feel comfy about connecting without one, if one had gone IYKWIM. So will have a spare. Home and quick lunch, while DH unpacked Aldi - he offered and then off for the first round of [strike]beautifying[/strike] pampering for my next hols. Pedicure (use to do my own but legs don't bend as good as they once did), Eyebrows (cannot see to do them without the glasses and they get in the way), and Gel Nails - well they kept breaking and this way they stay looking nice longer. omorrow is the hairdresser in the morning, to cover the twinklies.
    Fashion show at Nottingham tomorrow late afternoon/evening, DS's GF's final year collection, and meeting her Mum & Grandparents.
    Hopefully guy coming to mend the car tonight (He was due last night), alternator problem, and we need it to be done before Wednesday.

    Twink/Kyle thanks for keeping us updated from Pen-Pin - Please send her our love. Pen-Pen-GR -hope you enjoyed your get together, the weather has been kind to you today, Congrats to our newest Board Guide. Jayward - how have your appointments gone?
    r-mac - I don't know what they are talking about ??:confused::confused::confused:

    Afternoon everyone,

    :j :j WOOHOO i`ve got five days off - five whole days :j :j

    Can`t wait i`ve got tons to do and i`m looking forward to getting masses of chores outof the way so fingers crossed that the weather is nice and i can get the garden sorted out.

    Kyle - if you have left over lentils after making the soup there`s a good recipe around for tomato dahl posted by weezl, it`s lovely and would be a good one for the weight loss board too.

    Aussie - hugs for your sister hopefully she will make the right decision

    Tru - I couldn`t believe CSI last night :eek: i never watch them in order either so the next one i see will probably still have Warwick in :o

    Mioliere - good luck icing the pyramid cake :D

    Off for a nap now
    SD
    Planning on starting the GC again soon :p

    Afternoon all
    I thought Warwick was out of the show as he is in prison in real life for drug offences.
    Another fun filled day at work, I came home with shoes full of sick (the full story is on my blog).
    Katy is supposed to be leaving me on Saturday, but I found out today that she is taking her laptop back on Tuesday. I'm confused, but then that's nothing unusual, lol.
    Hugs Hester

    Hmmm.... *wonders if this will work with limes....* :D

    I'm sure it would ;) I just made fork biscuits with grated tangerine zest (instead of apricot and ginger, and used all flour instead of semolina :rolleyes: ). I bet lime would be really good, too.

    lynseyann,

    so sorry to hear your DD didn't win anything, how devastating for her, they really do take it to heart when they are young don't they, I meant to say good luck to her earlier, but its been frantic at work, so please give her a big hug from me, and I am sure she did very well.

    Kathy, glad your MOT went well :T , good luck to all others with theirs.

    Kyle, keep the liquids up xx

    Candy, hugs to your poor dad xx

    Hester, hope you get the sick out of your shoes :rolleyes:

    Hope everyone else is well xx

    Hi everyone
    haven't had time to go on line all week. Anniestar, thanks for your message - made very interesting reading!!! I had heard some of it from staff at school but didn't realise the full scale of the problems. Yes Waddow is at Clitheroe and I had a great time thanks.

    I have had a busy few days. DH has been off school with a cold - he is unable to take any drugs as they play havoc with his BP so he streams for days. After the Easter holidays when I was in bed for a week I have tried to keep away from him as much as possible but as we don't have a spare bed its not easy:eek: I will commit murder if I get it for half term.

    Have been out for two meals this week so when I looked today for chns tea I couldn't find anything. They seem to have eaten two meals last night whilst watching the football!!! They were pleased as they had popcorn chicken n chips - usually reserved for a treat.

    Need to take DD to Scouts but no craft class as teacher has gone to see The Osmonds.

    Hugs to all who need them!
