Morning :hello:

scuzz - really pleased about your sister and BIL. You must be so relieved.

TM - room for a little one at the table for the lamb?

brummiebabe - you're making me feel guilty as I haven't baked in ages. Then again I haven't bought shop cakes either.

I'll have my brekkie, then I've got quite a busy day around the house. This includes taking an ebay parcel to the post office and trying to avoid the little coffee shop next door to it.

Rest of the day will be:
hang out washing from load I did overnight.
put more washing in WM.
dust
vaccuum
ironing

What joy. My favourite jobs in all the world!

Supper tonight will be a curry. The curry sauce is one that I picked up at a "craft fair" and supposedly has no additives.

Have a good day everyone.

Morning

My head is playing up again today and was up at 4am :eek: had to sit in the dark-it was that bad. Took some tramadol and its eased up along with my other aches and pains this morning :mad:

Anyways-washing machine is nearly finished and should be able to get OH to hang out as its not raining here yet. Have another load to do after. DW is emptied and BM is on making pizza dough for bases for which my hubby is now addicted..lol. Tidied through our bedroom-which was mainly all OH stuff (why do men make so much mess?)its so annoying. Downstairs is pretty much done, just need to clean the loo and get DD to wipe blinds for me

Today, we are having a family day in (im still recovering from going out yesterday), so we are making some fairy cakes, flapjacks, bought some cooking apples for pies and crumbles yesterday and the pizza bases sorted.

Will catch up later.

Penny-Pincher!!

morning all.

scuzz thats excellent news hun!

been up since 6 this morning so not too early! :rotfl: have a chicken in the oven for a roast for dinner tonight, pots in water on the hob. must make a quiche later use up some eggs and maybe some fairy cakes.

chickens fed and let out for the day, washing on line and one in washing machine. weather looks ok here today (had to put all on airers yesterday as trying not to use TD)

checked bank account online and done some paperwork which i have been putting off. need to sit down this evening and do novembers budget.

doggys need to go out for a walk later so DS1 & 2 can do that!! planning on taking older two to the cinema tomorrow to watch nanny mcphee, hoping to sneak in some snacks and drinks to lower the cost!

just a bit of housework today and clean in the bathroom, leaving major housework til next week when the kids are back at school :rolleyes: as as soon as i clean at the moment it gets messy within 5 mins :eek:

where is queenie this morning??? always gives me motivation when i come online and see her posts!!

have a good day all

Morning all. Didn't want to get up today but since DD was already up and playing with lego I had to get up :rolleyes:

Plans for today are to have a bath, strip beds and try and get the washing dry so that means heaters on and windows open a bit :rolleyes: I've promised DD she can help make a shopping list for a "big shop" that I'm hoping to do tomorrow. I'm going to make a menu plan for the month based on what is already in the cupboards so I can cut the grocery money a bit this month so we can have a couple of treats especially as I now have to buy carton drinks for packed lunches. Fortunately I already know that we will be away at least one weekend at SIL's 18th birthday so thats a Friday/Saturday/Sunday without 3 meals as I can get away with pizza on the friday (with sandwiches and fruit for the car) and the Sunday we'll probably end up having a big roast or going out for a meal at IL's anyway so tea probably won't be needed

Right, off to quickly do some Neopet things then I'm off for a bath while DD watches childrens TV in our bedroom - its a holiday thing. No TV during the week for her until OH comes in and puts his programmes on UNLESS shes sick or has the day off school, not that I'm mean (sometimes I will let her watch TV) its just a time thing!

Have a good day everyone!

Morning All,

Sun is shining Essex!!! One load on the line and another in the WM. Huse curry in the SC getting ready for tonight. The SC has improved my daily intake of veg by loads. At the mo I am having HM veg soup forl unch and then another SC veg dish for tea.

Need to clean upstairs today, wizz around the bathroom (DS (2.5) still hasnt got his aim quite right-lol), change sheets in our room and hoover. Also have a few bits to do for ebay,must get photos done today so they can go on tomorrow.

Have started on the scrapbook for my Nan and it looks just wonderful, have decided to do one for all the family in NZ for xmas. And will start doing them fo us instead of photo albums, much more personal and fulfilling to do.

Right, off to do some research on yogurt makers, bread makers and juicers so I can decidewhich one I want from Santa!

Have a good day all,
Al.
