    (((Hugs)))) to Haribo and family

    Totally mad day at work, so very glad it's over. Dinner tonight will be burgers (from the butcher) in buns.

    Made toffee vodka on Monday, will it be ready to drink now?:confused: All the sweeties have dissolved.

    Got the day off tomorrow so can have a lie in - my first in two weeks. Might make some muffins tomorrow, as we have loads of blueberries we've found in the freezer.

    Right off to check daily clicks and surveys.

    Hope everyone's ok

    Just wanted to pop on and offer huge hugs to Haribo and family. It's very good of the vet to come out to you and let Parsley go in such a dignified manner.

    ((((H-J & family)))) Hope the girls are handling it.

    Had a very lazy day, it has been v. hot 35 on the solarium this p.m. luckily there was a breeze which made it bearable. Did the hours walk this morning but very hot (well out of condition) when we got back.

    Just chilling this p.m. Original Pork Loin in SC left for another day as it was 8.30 and we realised we hadn't done anything else towards tea, so had a brunch. Tennis this pm was not really entertaining, hope for better tomorrow.

    The supermarket situation is easing, the police broke up the protests, gave the drivers an option, move or we will take your licenses from you. Heard tales of two UK lorries trying to get through set on fire in Alicante and drivers killed, but unsure how true this is as not seen it on UK news. Rumours and chinese whispers abound out here. As was a use up the freezer week, hadn't noticed the food situation. Restaurants still serving as normal too.

    Coffee on the patio in a mo.

    Market in the morning, will be there v. early.

    hugs HJ and twins - sounds like a peaceful end

    hugs too to those with horrid bosses - mine is lovely. In his middle 20's and in charge of Menopause Corner as we call ourselves - half a dozen mostly fifty something ladies.

    Friday 13th hit us indirectly - dd's friend that she walks home from school with hurt her leg badly and had to be taken to hospital which left me with no one to pick her up - dd(18) stepped in at short notice. Got a text from the little girl to say she's fine but don't know yet what happened. Then dd(18) texted to say that her hamster has died.

    Today has not been very OS - an evening of beer, pizza and footie with added pre-match, half-time and full time calls to ddad in Holland. Have told him that me and dd(11) will go over to watch the game at his if they're in the final. No cheap flights so we might have to get the coach.

    dd(23)'s new ghds arrived safely - we're going out for a chinese buffet tomorrow so she'll get them then. Exoh's half has still not appeared in my bank account. He has offered to bring the money with him tomorrow - that'll be the same money that he said he put in yesterday - hmmmmm
    I'm going to feed our children non-organic food and with the money saved take them to the zoo - half man half biscuit 2008

    Haribo-Im really sorry to read about your cat, but hope the twins have a lovely birthday tomorrow.

    Hi Guys!

    Have had a pretty sh*t day. I have had my head down the toilet for most of it and may have to have an extra strong anti-sick injection tomorrow if not any better. I have no enery and hope this doesnt last long after each lot of treatment:confused:

    I have 2 good mates coming for lunch tomorrow and am just doing fresh crusty rolls with gammon ham or cheese and salad. OH bought some posh veggie crisps and is making a fruit flan with cream for pudding. He also bought some lovely coleslaw and Pot salad, FR Scotch Eggs and a Porkpie. If weather is nice, we can sit in the garden at the new garden set.

    May have a BBQ in the evening:confused:

    DD seems really tired ATM, but I think she is just worried about me, so want to spend some time with her tomrrow.

    Anyway, my sleeping tablet is kicking in, so will say good night.

    Hugs to all.
