Hello Possums,

I can finally say it's a bit drizzly here today. Freezing as well. I'm off to have a lovely hot shower in a sec. I went to the dr's this arv. I have thyroiditis which is making me have an underactive thyroid. Makes no difference, outcome still the same. I just need to take a pill. Another blood test in 2 months to check it and adjust meds accordingly. I had to wait 2 hours for all this. :rolleyes: My doctor's Irish too btw. And then missed the boat, and had to wait an hour for the next one in the freezing cold. I chatted to some blokes fishing.

DH not home yet. New episode of House on tonight so I'll be watching it. Made spinach pie tonight which was nice.

Busygirl Happy Birthday :beer:
Pink Only 1 tomato & 1 cucumber. Very very sad.
EssexGirl Hope all goes well.
Haribo So what did you buy in error?
Almo disgraceful.
natzini Hope your hair turns out nice.

Well DH just arrived home so I better go and serve tea. Have a lovely day and I hope the weather improves. :cool: Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Good morning everyone,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUSY GIRL xxx

:hello: Taplady, Shez, mrs mix and twink

Not feeling too good at the mo, have a headache, so think i need to find some paracetamol! Have just the 2 older girls today, so not much for me to do - they are in the kitchen at the mo with DD drawing, so thats them happy, DS has gone to play on his playstation!

Tipping down with rain - ive already been out as i had some things to post so ended up with wet trousers, never mind the walk up the hill didnt do me any harm. Thats the prob with school hols, lots more sitting around, as we dont have to go out for the school run!!

Ok, must go and do something - hope everyone has a lovely day.
Take care xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Back again

Many Thanks for the best wishes for OH at the hospital but its actually DD's this time . She is having a radioactive scan and will be slightly radioactive for the rest of the day, apparantly as long as we dont have to go through any airport scanners she should be ok.

Oh, ive had one of those - she will be fine, it sounds scarier than it is!!!

Pen Pin,

The flowers look lovely thanks for posting a photo, and your lounge is lovely too, (i think its your lounge ) nice stripped flooring xx

Twink, pass our best wishes onto Kyle, hope all is ok chez Kyle

Aussie, Missed the boat eh :rotfl:

Well DD and I have made a bannana loaf, and bananna muffins, I then made her tidy her room and hoover through downstairs, she was muttering 'slave driver' under her breath, and I was muttering 'allowance' under mine , she is a good girl really, and always helps me when she is off, she is upstairs doing her hair now :rolleyes: , ready to go out with my sister at 12.


I am going to potter around the garden once she has gone, avoiding the showers, got some plants to pot up, then may just relax with my book

Have good afternoons all xx

Happy Birthday Busy Girl
Bargin Rzl glad you are feeling better today.
The weather is horrible here but I hear it is surpose to be better tomorrow.

I can your brains ( I haven't got any left) I want to sell some crokery on e bay and I am not sure the best way to parcel it up without it breaking. Any ideas?
I have only sold one thing before which turned out to be a disaster as it was a trouser press and I only got .99p never mind.
For all of you doing well with your vegetables especially cucumbers ours look healthy but we haven't got any flowers on them yet. have to wait and see.
Oh we have lots of flowers on the strawberries. Yummey.
Off to the gym now.
I hope everyone has a good day and hugs to all that need them xx

Well, since I posted earlier, I've managed to have a shower, put some washing on and that's it. I didn't even make dinner, OH did. And he was at work all day

Aussie I shall choose to ignore your comment

I've had a brilliant idea - I'm going to go away again and stop posting for a few weeks. Then, I'll come back, post at some ridiculous time in the morning (UK time) with a list of what I've achieved that day. I'll conveniently forget to mention that I'm in Australia, and 9 hours ahead, and sit back and lap up all the admiration for my motivation :T

Hiya :hello:

Hugs to PenPin and the flowers are lovely .
Thanks for all of your birthday wishes and I'm proud to be 40!
I'm having a lovely day even though the weather is pooh here. I've had lots of lovely surprises from DH and the girls. Last night I was sent to bed early as DH was up to all sorts. A friend of his made a sponge cake which was stored in a neighbour's freezer, so last night he creamed and iced it for me and then he put up a huge banner suspended from the hall ceiling which he and the girls had made in secret.
I was woken up with breakfast in bed and a ton of presents to open. He went shopping in town yesterday and went a bit over the top! I got a Joni Mitchel CD, a necklace, t-shirt, chocs, Hershey bars, perfume, a nice pen and notebook,a mug with a picture of the family on, some books including one about Grumpy Old Women(!) and the girls made me some lovely gifts too. DD2 who is 7 used her sewing kit to make me a purse and stitched it up, but also put cellotape on it too.:D
After all of that, the doorbell went and the local florist turned up with a lovely bouquet of flowers and some birthday balloons.:D
So I've been spoilt rotten and DH is in the kitchen making us all lunch. We're going out later to take the girls bowling and then for a meal at Frankie and Bennys.
So no OS here today from me, I'm not even going to put the wm on! :eek:

Hope you all have a lovely day too!

Almo

busygirl, what a fantastic family you have! Hope you have a lovely day :beer:
