morning all :hello:

have just gone to the local pharmacy to get my BP recorded, I have to get it done every month for this diet. It was fine, never been a prob, but always nice when you 'pass'!

Picked a dozen eggs from a free range place just down the road £1.60. The original farm has been sold in the last few months and I was a bit anxious that I would have to get them from the supermarket, where they cost more for 6 than I was paying for 12. But another farmer, more or less in the same place, bought the farm, so I can still get cheap FR eggs, very locally (only 0.2 of a mile from the house)

sorry to hear of the losses and illness written here over the last few days. I will be thinking of you and sending you hugs

Kyle hope DS1 gets better very soon. Take care.(((((((((((HUGS)))))))))

Oh, (((hugs))) to you R.MAC - so sorry you've not been well. I'm sure the scan will make you feel a lot better.

Kyle - (((Hugs))) to you and little one.

Dazi - what a gorgeous baby! Congratulations!

Taplady - what a horrid experience for you. I hope you catch up on your sleep.

Weeping River - I've kept chillies and stews in the fridge, say cooked on a Wednesday, to have on a Friday with no ill effects! Any longer than that, I would definitely freeze it, though!

Well, I've just had a phone call from my ex-boss (the one whose place of work nearly drove me mad with stress); he asked if I was missing the place. I said 'yeah, like a hole in the head'. He asked if I would be happy to work the odd day now and again just to cover absences so, to be kind and because I like him but not his job, I said I would, as long as I had some notice. He asked if I would go in next Friday and that's the day I go on the hen 'do' with my future DIL so I had to turn it down. Anyway, he knows I don't mind the odd day so it will be extra pennies every now and again.

Well, I've had a long enough tea break now so I'd better get on - I do believe I've cracked the worst of the accounts but there is a pile of stuff covered with post-its on the kitchen table for DH to check through before I can package it all up for our visit to the accountant on Friday morning.

Anyway, will see you all later.

Thanks mioliere, that'll save me putting it in only to get it back out again.

Well, from unmotivated I have managed to tidy the living room, kitchen sides and put clean laundry in the bedroom (:rolleyes: hasn't quite made it to the wardrobe but I'm working on it) got to do the handpots and sort out the mince cookoff, gonna make taco mince for tonight, chilli for friday and I need to come up with something else, might be burgers to have over weekend. Not to shabby if I say so myself!:D

Gonna go out in a min to meet my sis for lunch and the promised mooch before tax office and then splodge on the sofa for a night with the tv. ( insert very lazy smiely here)

Hope everyone else's day is progressing well ( or as well as can be for those in unfortunate circumstances).

Mioliere glad you fil is ok, i am very careful if i have to use canes in the garden, the tops should always be covered

Dazi great pics of a gorgeous baby

home from work and no afternoon tea to look forward to but will go to the school to buy some of dgs2's artwork, we didnt realise ds1 had to run round the field as p5 dont usually do that he would have needed to warm up first

Hi Chums ,got up at an unearthly hour this morning as my r/t was an early appointment and sailed through the traffic no problem, just arrived at the hospital an hour too early:mad: Still at least it's another one out of the way.Only two more to go:j
Stopped off at hempstead valley shopping centre on the way back and got some dollars for my DGD who is off to Florida with the family next month.She is 15 on the 6th July so i bought her a DVD that she wanted and will put the rest in cash in her card then she can buy herself something when she gets there No commission from M&S's so that was good.
Just off to have some lunch and put my feet up and catch up with some zeds.
<<hugs to those feeling blue and poorly >>and a big to the rest of you.have a nice day whatever you get up to;)

Afternoon :hello:

((((Hugs)))) to those in need. I'm sorry your friend is so ill GB.

Last night I started my attack on the mortgage and have made a substantial overpayment :j :j Am going to keep feeding cash in from my savings until my fixed rate expires at the end of November when the restriction on value of overpayments will be lifted, at which point I'm going to turn my savings account upside down and empty it into the mortgage

Also went to Asda, stocked up the freezer, and cooked a batch of sausage casserole.

Got to go to the gym after work as it's nearly the end of the quarter on PruHealth and I need to make 4 more gym visits between now and Monday if I don't want my fees to go up. Then after that I'm going out to a show but might get away with no spend as I'm reviewing it, which means 2 free tickets and a free programme, and (if I'm lucky) a drink bought for me by the mate who's coming on my spare ticket

Love Rzl xx :wave:

had a look at some of the other boards on the site yesterday and posted a couple of things. One of the things I noticed, on 1 or 2 places in particular is that the posters are rather more sharp in their replies than on this one. I don't mean in response to my posts, although I was a bit taken aback, but generally. It is almost the flaming that you can get on some forums by some individuals who seem to enjoy doing that kind of thing.

It's all warm and fuzzy here, so I'm staying here!
