But the 1 liner at the bottom of the page is still in BST. Does it stay like this throughout the winter?

Have you checked your settings in user CP as the site has been on GMT for me since it switched, but others have reported having to change their settings.

Theres just soooo many posts to trawl through and a new shiny look to the board :j

I have been feeling really down lately and as a consequence of this i have been spend spend spending (still within a budget though) i still cant quite break that MAC obsession... but im trying, lord knows im trying :rolleyes:

I hope everyone else is doing well and nothing bad has happened to anyone while ive been away.

How did the Blackpool meet go? Squeeky how is the kitchen going? Hows Lilbets baby? Has baby Spud been born yet? So many questions....

Hi All,

Very late post from me today. Have got stepdaughter here today for birthday so its been frantic. Have spent the last 30 mins cleaning the kitchen after a marathon painting & glueing session :eek:

Dinner is over and done with, washing up done, ironging done, 2 loads of laundry dry before the rain, HM soup in SC, hoovering done.

I AM READY FOR BED :rotfl:

Am going to look up yummy HM bread recipies now as my BM should be coming in a day or 2

Have a good night,
Al.

Thanks for filling me in

Parents came round this morning from their hotel and then went off home (it's over 200 miles away).

We fought our way to the retail park and to tescos this afternoon it was flippin full of people dithering - but we had no food left so beggars can't be choosers, mind you the enormous queue at the drive thru macdonalds made me wonder why anyone was actually buying real food - but anyway.

Not been doing much for the rest of the day - need to get the washing sorted, washing up, dinner (quick stuff tonight) and get to bed relatively early as I'm working all day all this week :j

Nice to see you back - we'd been wondering where you'd gone!!!

Good evening all

Had a bit of a strange weekend. Not achieved all the things I'd planned and DH has been in a foul mood

Went off to pick up a new (to us) table this afternoon, from a freecycle member...really pleased with it, just what we needed (stinks of smoke but I gave it a good wash down and it's not so bad now).

Found a great farm shop yesterday - pity it's not closer to home. Got a huge pumpkin to carve tomorrow (inset day at DD's school) for £1, cooking apples (about 10 large ones) for £1, a huge bag of fresh sprouts for 35p and a huge cauli for 50p. They had smaller cauli's 4 for £1 but they didn't look great and no room in the freezer to blanche them down :rolleyes:

Tea tonight was a bit of a bung it on the plate....all the left over bits of ham, cheese, pickles etc and some rolls, all eaten on our laps infront of Gremlins 2 - DD's loved it - said it was the best meal they've had in agggggggeeeeees!

Hope you've all have a wonderful day.
