Need a hand hold -Part 3

Hi @eatreadsleeprepeat , your so right it is easy to get carried away in Costco that’s probably why I avoid it 😂.
I just feel guilty and don’t want her spending all her money on me I can wait for things I don’t need them straight away. I know she wants me to feel settled and homely but I’m just thrilled I have a home I can wait for everything else xx

Evening @Meanwhile33 , it’s lovely to hear from you. I hope you’re ok despite your hectic week.
Right I have found some suggestions for the vegetarians and kids and some dishes to go with the ham :
For the vegetarians -Baked spaghetti bake (is delicious)
Vegan Chilli (could also have crusty bread which you can also eat with the ham)
Garlic and chilli new potatoes (these are delish and very easy to do)
Vegetable pasta
Baked Ziti
Cheeseboard tart
Also a lot of Indian dishes are vegan
sweet potato casserole
cheesy scalloped potatoes

For the kids -pitta pizzas
Jacket potato’s -could use the chilli / cheese
Mac and cheese
Pasta
Xx

Evening @BeNavyCrab hope you’re ok and nice and cosy in your lovely home . It sounds like bliss.
Ouch your mums operation sounds painful bless her . My son seems to be ok although he said it’s painful. Hopefully they won’t have to operate and if they do have to I’m hoping ex won’t come back so I can be there for my son.
Sore throat is now turning into a cough . I hate coughing. Think I caught the cough from my sister as she mentioned she couldn’t sleep night before with coughing .
I’ve been doing some house admin today, ordered all my bins then asked to be put through to council tax section to get a council tax bill and stop paying on old property but they can’t produce a bill at the moment as the property hasn’t been banded yet due to it being a new build so they have to get a valuer out to band it then I’ll get a bill . Then I had to ring daughters college re getting her another bus pass as she now has a different route to do too on a special college bus . The woman wasn’t very helpful and she said I’d have to pay two lots of £375 which will last until summer term next year which isn’t ideal right now.
I’ve been measuring tonight with a tape measure (first time I’ve used one) and I rang my dad and said my room is 32 inches and he said he thinks it’s bigger than that and he’ll measure it tomorrow properly 😂
My mum rang me at 9am this morning as she was at Costco with my sister and she said she’d seen 72 bags of crisps in a box . Quavers , monster munch , wotsits etc and asked if I wanted a box . I said no thank you mum. She said ‘well I’ll get them anyway for you’ . 2 mins later she rings me back and said she’s got me a huge bottle of cocoa butter as I mentioned other day my elbows are really dry so I said thank you mum but save your money I’m ok. 5 mins after that she rang again and said ‘I’ve got you a kilo jar of coffee’ because I told her about offering the workmen a drink and they wanted coffee and I didn’t have any as I don’t drink it . I said mum your bought me enough stop buying me things and she said ‘well it was only £7.99’. The woman never stops shopping! I’m still tired from going to the Range on Monday 😂I need to rest for 3 months now xx

Ohhhh thank you I’ll have to invest in one xx

Oh you can’t beat a casserole but I’m naughty and like it with crusty bread. But dumplings are amazing! I’m terrible at making them though. You’ve made me really crave a casserole now 😂
I’ve got heat on will keep it on for half hour , I’ve seen those electric blankets but was worried they would cost too much now I’m really intrigued xx

😂😂😂😂😂Sorry about that @AdmittowearingCrocs . Just ignore me .
Awww that is so sweet I’d love to see a video of her doing that xx

I was thinking cockateil. I only know that because I’ve just googled ‘birds beginning with cock’ so if anybody looks at my search history I’m in trouble 😂. In my defence they are very similar xx

Oh thanks for that info @Munchyseeds2 , my mums made me paranoid about the bills so I’m sat in the dark with no heating on 😂 gonna go put it on in a minute though as it’s very cold .
My mum makes her own KFC chicken as it has to be gluten free and it’s delicious and she makes lovely cakes with buttercream in. What’s your favourite meal to make?xx

Oh that sounds right tho my street ! I love reading about Henry V111.
Fun fact for you, did you know that he enjoyed music so much that he had 60 musicians on his payroll?xx

Yayyyyu @spoonfulofmustard

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi @ChoccieCornflake , when I was in crisis house and was eating one of the councillors said that it doesn’t matter what you eat in winter as everybody needs a winter coat. She said to worry about it in January. So go ahead and fuel your body there’s plenty of time till Jan.
My sisters partner is lovely , she’s been through a lot too bless her . She lost her son, my nephew when he was 2 to leukaemia and she was heavily pregnant with my niece. Also her ex husband who was in the army ended his life so it’s been hard for her so it’s nice to see her happy xx

Oh it’s a dog I thought it was a bird! She’s beautiful @AdmittowearingCrocs xx

Absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

Hi @AdmittowearingCrocs , happy Friday ☺️
Oh I’ve never seen a cockapoo in real life . My mum used to have a budgie but it used to bite but loved my mum and would kiss her. She told me to kiss it one day as it’s nice , she was called spot . So I did and she ripped half my top lip off. My mum thought it was hilarious. Do you have it in a cage?
I hope your neck starts to feel better soon , sending big hugs . I could ask about the baubles but I’m abit hesitant about putting them in my new house if I’m honest because it’s memories from before if that makes sense xx
