I've been off line for ages too and without the help of the OS board I have lost my grip on the Henhog family finances too! Nice to see you back. :beer:

Ticklemouse

ancasta - haven't updated the 'meet' thread yet, but it appears that the official MSE meet, which will be in Manchester, is going to be fairly soon anyway, so in the interests of money-saving, I think the OS meet will be postponed until the New Year. I will still organise it - promise

Also, a few others who were 'definites' have temporarily or otherwise gone awol so maybe a few months may see them back.

I fully intend to be in Manchester - I have told Mr TM that if the meet falls on a day when he has plans, then HE has to change his I wish the team would hurry up and confirm a date though

Good to have you back, hun

:wave: Welcome Back :wave:

It's always difficult to catch up when you've been away - might just be better to jump back in :rotfl:

happy halloween to all my old style friends
Today I will probably make something in the slow cooker
After that I will put out my pumpkin for the trick and treaters
Then I may have a walk into town and yes i do actually walk like this!

Or I may treat myself and go on my usual transport

Then I may need to go check on squeakys cat if he is still ill which I am confident he wont be as he is only allowed 2 days maximum off sick but anyway I will go and feed his lovely cat Sally if need be

I may need a bit of a kip after that
hey its cheaper than a bed!

Have a great day all and dont be tooo scared!!!!xxx

Morning

HAHA Nelski.

Had a very bad night and cant seem to get warm-have resorted to putting the gas fire on in lounge :eek: Our gas useage is only about £8pm and I pay £12 by DD, so think I can get away OK..lol.

Weather here is very dark and dingy-ideal for halloween if it stays like this all day.

Have a washload to do but will need drying in TD :mad: 20 min blitz, then my SIL is coming at 9 to do some bits round the house. OH is doing some more painting as he now has a 2 week deadline till the new carpet has been ordered in-so he will need to get it done :rolleyes: He also needs to rip up carpet and underlay already on stairs for when they fit the new one. DD back to school and is school photos today, so will straighten her hair and make her look pretty.

Need to call social services today about the stairlift and bathroom and get rough dates on them both to be fitted-dont think I will be able to get up stairs for much longer and already im having to sleep on the couch somedays nevermind!

Breakie will be toast/cereal. Lunch for me is a roast dinner I made from yesterdays dinner, OH & SIL will have a toasted sarnie, and dinner tonight will be pie, mash and veg.

Will call in later.

Morning.

Work today which im sure will be a barrell of laughs, but still - its £ in the pockets, my sofa comes on wednesday, and work (and the tax man) owe me oodles of £ - so pay day is something to look forward to (3 weeks today...)

Anyway - im not answering the door tonight - I cant afford to give kids a massive sugar hit - I think ill go out instead.... (yes - im a miser!)
