Hi Neros! Are you a newbie or a name-changer?!

Bit chilly outside! Lovely clear-ish day too. 😁

My seedlings should enjoy the sunshine through the window today. The tomatoes 🍅 are already flourishing! I didn't need 12 plants though, so I'll try to foist some off on my in laws! 😂

I'm not entirely sure I need 14 pepper plants either, to be honest, but there you go! 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱

Have we lost everyone today?

Don't think I've seen @PerfectlySymmetricalButtocks since the last thread?

WreckTangled · 22/02/2018 17:27

Woo hoo no more work until Monday 🙌🏼🙌🏼 I have NOTHING planned tomorrow Smile

Mrsmadevans · 22/02/2018 20:45

I figure peeps are busy with half term and waking up to lighter mornings and nights ....YAY! So they are getting out more and not on here quite so much , we will still be here and they will catch up with us.
Perfect has gone AWOL since the last thread you are right Fluffy!
I am wondering about our Muddling and how she is coping.

Wreck ! What nothing? AT ALL? Fabulous enjoy it my dear CHILL CHILL CHILL!

Enjoy Wreck!

I have been unusually busy the last few days....hoping for a quiet day at home tomorrow. I want to do a bit of cleaning but it is tricky with the age/stage DS is at, and he doesn't nap!

Hope the lunch went ok Mrs. I have to step up next week to take MIL to a lent lunch, I will take DD too as she enjoys that sort of thing Confused

NoWordForFluffy · 23/02/2018 06:39

A Lent lunch, Sally? What's one of those?!

305

Enjoy your day off, Wreck.

I'm doing overtime again for the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a killer getting up at 5 and getting straight on the cross trainer (I usually get up at 5.45 and mooch / sort washing or something for 10 minutes while I'm waking up), but I can cope for a couple of weeks. Just! 😂

Anyone doing anything nice this weekend? I'm taking DD to the cinema on Sunday morning to see Ferdinand and I'm out with Mum friends tomorrow at some point. We might get to Speke Hall this week as we didn't last week; see how the morning goes tomorrow!

NoWordForFluffy · 23/02/2018 07:37

Yay! Happy birthday (to you and your DP!). 🎂

HairsprayBabe · 23/02/2018 07:47

Excellent remembering there fluffy! He is currently in a driving lesson and I am enjoying a lie-in! Good start to a birthday I think! Grin

WreckTangled · 23/02/2018 08:02

Happy birthday hairspray!

Well I have some house admin and tidying/washing to do but that's it. I'm not even wearing any make up Shock

WreckTangled · 23/02/2018 08:03

We don't have any weekend plans, ds has a party to go to but that's it.

NoWordForFluffy · 23/02/2018 08:34

I never wear make up! 😱😂

Mrsmadevans · 23/02/2018 08:37

Morning all!
Beautiful day here 'sun is shining, the weather is sweet'
Bit cold but just lovely.
Lunch went as well as could be expected thank you all.I just took mum picked up her other friends and dropped them all off at the Ebbw Vale Festival Park and wandered around having a look at stuff for 2 and a half hours. I actually enjoyed myself! Bought a lovely set of notebooks for my DD1 birthday from EWM shop for £4. I was invited for lunch but let them all enjoy the company , they don't get chance to see each other very often. They had a great time so it was all good.
Not heard of a Lent lunch either what is that? Must Google it ,
'What is a Lent Lunch?
This is a simple meal of soup, bread or crackers, cheese and possibly some fruit – nothing elaborate.
Why hold a Lent Lunch?
To empathise in a very small way with those who have little to eat and to get together with friends
and/or acquaintances you do not know very well yet. '
Sounds just lovely . Right up my street . I may even go to one myself . I will have to find one. I know you can host them yourself too but l don't have many friends or family who would want to do this . Miserable beggars lol.
Wreck enjoy your day , just have a relaxez vous , Does us all good.Recharges the batteries.
Hair, Happy birthday to you and your DP .what a wonderful birthday present your Grandad out of hospital just wonderful Xmas Grin CakeWineFlowers YAY!
Fluffy , good girl for doing the o/t l know it is exhausting for you but the money is a great sweetener l imagine. Hope Mr Taxman doesn't take too much!
Speke Hall sounds beautiful, l snuck a look and oh my ! Really lovely ...am muchly jealous lol Xmas Envy
Going to snow next week hope so Xmas Grin off for a nice walk later not much else today just chilling a bit too Smile
Have a great day all ,take care!

I do wear mascara because l look absolutely awful without it , sorry for the essay before lol

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 23/02/2018 08:58

If I don't wear make up people always ask me if I'm ok because I look ill/tree. I would never go to work without make up on or school run. I can just about manage taking the dc to the bus stop or Tesco Grin

Mrsmadevans · 23/02/2018 09:30

Grin me too!

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 23/02/2018 09:32

I've just put a gammon in the oven for dinner. Yum. Going to do cauliflower cheese and roast potatoes with it.

HairsprayBabe · 23/02/2018 09:33

I look like a boiled egg without makeup especially mascara! All pale and bland and round 😂

Mrsmadevans · 23/02/2018 09:44

Hair ....yes to the boiled egg look lol
Wreck that sounds lovely you are giving me ideas for our tea , Thank you!

OP posts:
SallyLockhartsDog · 23/02/2018 09:53

wreck that sounds amazing...we are having sandwiches Envy😂

All the churches around here hold a lent lunch once a week during Lent. Neither of us are particularly religious but it is a good chance for her to see all her local friends that she no longer has the opportunity to see.

I look awful without makeup but have embraced it...I don't go out without my hair done though Grin

NerosFiddle · 23/02/2018 17:28

Fluffy I'm a newbie trying to catch up.

I don't wear makeup. I never managed to be able to put it on correctly. I end up looking like a clown.

WreckTangled · 23/02/2018 17:54

Ta da!

Come one come all .Welcome everyone . It’s countdown to Christmas 2018!
NoWordForFluffy · 23/02/2018 18:17

Yummy, Wreck!

I wore it to my wedding, Nero, but somebody professional was paid to do that. I've not worn it since, and that was over 5 years' ago!

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 23/02/2018 19:56

I'm baaaaaaaack Xmas Grin

Been to DParents, drove my little motor on wild windswept motorways with huge lorries and grit spreaders throwing salt at my motor (they were hogging the middle lane on the M1 )

So back to my own bed and my own shower (and dishwasher Xmas Grin )

I don't wear make-up day-to-day though I should do on my non existant eyebrows !.
