    back to work today. normally a day off for me, so extra pennies for me!
    yesterday forced kids to do some chores, why is always a fight?
    got washing up to date, ignored the ironing in the hope that OH will do it today ;)
    feed all my plants and the lawns.
    hope everyone has a good day.

    Morning, Plan to collect the material as soon as shop opens and make the curtains for the twin bedroom, then the room will be finished.

    DB1 in Spain is having a big party on Sat, outside caterers, live music the lot. He asked us over a couple of weeks ago but what with the state of the house to-let and trying to find new tennents we haven't been able to deceide whether we could make it or not. I hope we can get the paper work, rent sorted out in time so we can fly over on Thursday. DB1 has been diagnosed with Prostate cancer so really want to see him.

    DB2 gets more results about his Melanoma on Tuesday. Hope to see him when we get back.

    Having spaggetti Carbanara and salad for dinner, DH will have roast pork.
    Fruit and yogurt for pud. BM and WM on, sunny day again so washing won't take long to dry.

    Will try and see Dr. today, had my stitches out on Friday but the would has opened up and a bit worried about it getting infected.

    Wishing you all a good day x
  • Morning all :) Not been around much lately due to pc problems so hope everyone is doing ok. (((hugs))) to anyone who needs them. Probably wont be around much for a while more what with the new baby coming, moving house etc so i'll just check in as and when i can :)

    Been up since 4am, can't sleep with the pains in my back and hips :( We went to see the consultant on Friday and have been given the date of the 26th for jellybean's arrival, 10 days - eek! Had to have a scan to check his growth as i'm very small but hes fine (and definitely a he!!).The new house is coming on well, should be moved in when he's a few weeks old hopefully.

    O/S has gone out of the window a bit recently because my FM has flared up over the past few weeks and i haven't been able to do my normal things but i've been gradually batch cooking for the freezer and we're pretty well stocked now. Has cost me loads in getting the ingredients etc but should even itself out when we only have to buy fresh stuff for a good few weeks.

    Anyway, going to get DD up and ready for school. It's my sister's 21st today so we're going round there for tea - no cooking!! Bliss!

    Take care all

    Hi everyone - me again :D
    I`m now wide awake and i`m about to embark on my third cuppa.
    The weather is really nice and sunny but there`s a difinite nip in the air, hope the sun lasts so that i can hang out the washing this afternoon.
    I`ve managed to catch up with the bits and pieces that i`ve missed and see that various hugs are in order.

    Jannyannie - :wave:

    Anniestar - hugs for Phoebe

    Poppyoscar - welcome this is a great place to be

    Candygirl - Hope the hangover`s all gone now:rolleyes: mines vanished

    Mioliere - The dreaded bug should almost have gone now, fingers crossed for you, i did start thinking about this though and wondered do you have hayfever? My sinuses play up sometimes and it`s just like a bad cold but it is hayfever with me and i wondered if you could be suffering the same thing?

    Ivyleaf - Have a lovely holiday

    Jayward - Hope that you`re feeling better today

    Aussielass - Hugs for your sister

    Think i`d better do some wo*k now:D
    Have a lovely day everyone.

    Morning everyone

    Bright and sunny here but not very warm. Got some new pots for the front garden on Saturday and they are now full of plants.

    Going to be a busy week of sortingthings out, we ordered a new bed yesterday, its a metal frame one and the one we have at the moment is a divan with 4 drawers, so am having to find a home for all the [strike]junk[/strike] important stuff we have been storing in there.

    Also have an application form to fill in that makes war and peace look like a short story, think it could take all week as have to fill in 8 sections where I have to give examples of stuff I've done :eek: no, I haven't applied to be a brain surgeon, its just an admin job.

    Think it will be an easy meal tonight, probably sausages, mash, onion gravy and any veg I can find in the fridge.

    Hope everyone has a good day xxx

    Good morning! Bright and sunny here :j I'm going to go running, tidy the kitchen, hoover round the house, and reward myself by having the afternoon in the garden.

    DD has GCSE exams all week, so I've made her maple pancakes for breakfast, with apricot and banana smooties. We're having spinach and chick pea curry for tea, with HM chapatis and cucumber raitha.

    Happy Birthday to Miss Twit :T

    Have a great day, Penny. x

    HI all - if good wishes could cure a cold then the amount of them I have had on here would have done the trick! Thank you all so much - it really makes a difference.

    Sunnyday - I used to get hayfever when I was a child apparently (I was allergic to feathers!) so I think there could well be a connection there. I have also just recently started getting eczema (sp?) for the first time ever and the two can be connected so you may well be on to something there! I have some Piriton tablets somewhere so I shall give them a go. Thanks for the suggestion - I hadn't thought of it!

    Beth - I do hope you can find a way to go and visit your DB; hope the wound heals up without infection - please keep an eye on it.

    Lilmisskitkat - good luck to you - not long now!

    Well, I'd better go and do something; I'm moving quite slowly at the moment because I can't rustle up the energy to move at my usual pace! Will call back later. Hopeyou all have a good day and once again thanks for all your kind words.

    KathyXX
