Morning! Brand new thread for the new week!

OK - you know what today is?

Its the Last Rudolph Day of the year

And I am celebrating the LRD of the year by taking a load of stuff to the dump ( later on, its like half past midnight right now )

Oh , I know how to rock !

I'm planting my bare root raspberries out; jet washing the last of the patio; weeding the front garden and maybe jet washing the path; making more chicken and chorizo parcels and finishing weeding the allotment, I think! Seems a lot written down!

God forsaken asthma, I just want a good nights sleep 😫

Morning!
Just having a peppermint mocha to try and wake me up a wee bit!

I’m Looking forward to going out and buying my Xmas decorations in a wee while hopefully it’s not too busy on a Sunday :)

Touch wood, I think I’m over the worst of my cold. I hope so, back to work tomorrow, well, only 4 hour days for a few weeks.

Mrs - blimey you are so busy my dear. Make sure you take some time for yourself too lovely. The bath bomb was glorious, so relaxing Maverick is a wee angel, and definitely a very pretty boy your cat is very handsome too

Wheelie - your cats are just so friggin cute! I love them all I dread to think what maverick is going to be like when my trees go up next week he is a wee sweetheart, I love him too you’ll have to let us know if you do make the Yorkshire puddings :) the winter market sounds lovely, and selling sounds like fun too.

Sorry if I’ve missed anyone, caffeine hasn’t kicked in yet!

The key to toad in the hole wheel is adding the batter to spitting hot fat :)

Tea is a good question. It is the drink. It is also used instead of dinner by a lot of people especially up north. Afternoon tea is the drink accompanied by sandwiches, pastries, cakes and scones :)

Can't believe it is one month to go!!!

Morning!

If it's stress related Acey, search "anti stress apps" in Google Play or the App Store. DS2 has one on my phone for his ADHD. It has a punch bag, you could pretend it was your brothers! 😂

No tinsel Acey, cats just love to pull the whole tree on top of them! 😂

Happy Last Rudolph Day! 🎄🎅

My DF obliterates toad in the hole with dried herbs. One year on my birthday I was given a choice of a birthday cake made by DB or a birthday toad in the hole made by DF. I should have gone with the cake.

Yum. If I had eggs I would be making toad in the hole! I like to put red onion in mine then we have it with gravy and veg.

Today we're going out for breakfast and then to the cinema to see the grinch. It's ds' birthday tomorrow and that's what he's chosen to do 😊 my dad and step mum are joining us for breakfast.

Also we didn't wake up until 7:45 when dd came in and ds didn't wake up until 8!

Now I really want toad in the hole 😂 Having spaghetti Bolognese tonight though

Morning all,
Dd is down sailing already after we only got home close to 11pm last night from the junior awards dinner. So she’s a slight “bag of rats”...
Dh has already walked the pier and is following me home shortly (got stuck talking to someone but won’t hang around).
I did the rigging and am home to knit for 90 minutes (and possibly also cut out the last stockings I need for cubs next Saturday) before getting myself ready for sailing this afternoon.

I’m looking forward to Christmas as we will HAVE to slow down for 24-30 hours!😂😂

DD!

DD!

Morning all. Can't believe it's only a month to go now.

We had pancakes this morning and I'm now sitting watching The Santa Clause while Dd plays with blocks and ds plays with his cars. Off to the parents later for Sunday lunch.

Also going to try and tease out of dh what he wants for his birthday. It's next week and I haven't a clue.
