We're going to the Tolkien Society thing in a Wetherspoon's pub tomorrow, I think DD might be going off going out for breakfast! πŸ˜‚

Morning all! Dh’s niece may or may not be coming over for the morning. It’s supposed to be raining but is lovely and sunny. Might hang some washing out!

NoWordForFluffy · 17/02/2018 10:55

I've just hung ours out now the grey murkiness has cleared. It's a glorious spring day here now!

NoWordForFluffy · 17/02/2018 13:36

Anyone else reckon this is the type of shop Sprouts went to yesterday (notwithstanding the fact that ours has closed down...clearly not enough naughty business in our town!).

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 17/02/2018 15:04

That's exactly the kind of place I was thinking of! πŸ˜‚

Mrsmadevans · 17/02/2018 17:56

I think she went to a scoffery cafe , naughty but nice cream cakes and speciality teas yummy , like Patiserrie Valerie but more decadent lol . I am so old I would rather have that type of naughty any day of the week!
Hasn't Team GB done well? I am thrilled for them, such hard work and so delighted bless them . They seem such lovely well adjusted young people too.
Have just seen off the family from visiting the DD1 from Uni , they didn't believe us when we told them we felt the earthquake ! I was excited and so was DD1 but the hubbs thought it was very worrying and 'what about the house? . Well the house is fine you will be glad to know , never felt anything like it before!
Visited NDN. He was in a state , he couldn't find his bank card and thought his dds had taken it to draw money out nothing would surprise me but he found it after . I said all the right things to ease his mind but honestly if he thinks they would do that then he knows deep down how bad they are...... poor man .
It has been glorious today , one of those lovely good to be alive days you know what I mean I am sure. Have a great Sat evening all ,off to watch Pointless Celebs and Casualty lol I am living the high life indeedy!Xmas GrinXmas Grin

Had tomato and mozzarella pasta bake with a garlic baguette for supper, DS2's watching Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, DD's watching Pokemon videos on YouTube. πŸ˜‹πŸ

Our two are already asleep. Thank goodness! Small children are challenging to say the least!

Yes, it’s been gorgeous today. My potatoes are now all in their sacks and we also painted the garden fence (half each).

I fed the chillies (we cut them down in autumn as recommended online but they look like dead sticks now, so I’m hoping that warmer weather and plant food may perk them up!) and DH fed the strawberries. Our blueberry bush which is a new addition is definitely growing, so I’m optimistic about how well that will do. I gave it a little feed too, just to help it along!

I’ve felt a couple of earthquakes, Mrs. One in 2002 ish and one in 2008. They’re a bit bonkers!

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 17/02/2018 20:10

We didn't feel the earthquake here. DS2 looked very worried when I mentioned it! πŸ˜‚

SallyLockhartsDog · 17/02/2018 20:38

Feeling a bit under the weather, so DH sent me off to bed for a nap this morning. I'm feeling a lot better now.

It was our first bit of sunshine in so long so enjoyed some time in the garden with the kids and their cousin. My lovely (very unwell) MIL bought me a plant Smile so all in all a lovely day!

I would definitely prefer a naughty cake Cake shop too MrsEvans haha!! I am faaaaar too tired to think of anything else!!

Night all!

PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks · 18/02/2018 06:40

Morning! I'm the only one awake, in bed, drinking coffee. πŸ˜‹β˜•

FuzzyPenguin · 18/02/2018 07:40

Can I join in? Have been lurking around the Christmas threads for a while.very much looking forward to Christmas 2018, 2017 felt a bit like a let down as we are trying to move house so everything got packed away much earlier than I liked. I can’t even sale shop cause it means more to pack! Have got my parents to buy me a new tree in the sale for my birthday in March which I am very excited about and am trying to squirrel some money away already for presents.

NoWordForFluffy · 18/02/2018 08:14

Hi Fuzzy, welcome! Xmas Smile

I was awake at about 6.20 again, the joy of it! Early night tonight, I think.

It's going to be another lovely spring day. I've hung the washing out and have the bedding on the go in the machine.

I've had to sprinkle more cat repellant stuff around as DH cleared more poo yesterday (his turn!).

Our new blueberry bush is starting to sprout little leaves. Can't wait until it's in full swing (neither can DS as he loves blueberries!).

Come one come all. It’s countdown to Christmas 2018!
WreckTangled · 18/02/2018 08:51

WreckTangled · 18/02/2018 09:44

Mrs bloody autocorrect! What roast are you having? I'm not sure what to do for dinner, I've got chicken mini fillets out of the freezer so will use those and do...? Could do chicken lasagne or some kind of chicken pasta...

Mrsmadevans · 18/02/2018 10:05

Ahhh we are having roast Chicken, roast pots, sprouts and carrots stuffing and gravy, bit like Christmas dinner l spose! hehe, Vegan dd is having vegan sausages Hmm. I did chicken stir fry yesterday and just used soy sauce nothing else and it was lovely! What about stir fry Wreck?

WreckTangled · 18/02/2018 10:22

I would do stir fry but I don't have any of the ingredients. I've got some sweet chilli chicken in the freezer which I'm going to do as a stir fry next week once I've been shopping (need to wait for dh to get paid though!)

ChristmasAddict · 18/02/2018 10:28

I am so behind! Everyone's Sundays sound lovely. We are at soft play Confused

NoWordForFluffy · 18/02/2018 11:05

We are in the squirrel woods right now. The kids are playing in the sand which is keeping them busy.

I'll do a roast chicken later on then I'll make a chicken pie out of the rest of it later on.
