Afternoon everyone Smile
Welcome dippy. Very sorry to read about your loss Flowers
Went to Cwmbran bought a couple of things from Primark, biodegradeable face wipes which l thought were a great idea Smile and a skirt for my Mum for £4 from 14 in Morrisons Grin, it's very light grey more of a spring like colour for her l thought, she has loads of tops she can wear with it .
Made pancakes which Dh duly scoffed Grin he is sleeping on the sofa as l type Grin
Fluffy , love the cross stitch it's gorgeous! Smile
@whydoesitalwayshappentome well done for doing the pancakes beforehand you are a good un, they take ages too Grin
@WreckTangled l made a load and bought some too, just in case they scoff the lot and want some more Grin
@EmrysAtticus that is very like my DD2 is doing but hers is shared equity she can staircase if she wants but she doesn't have to because she doesn't pay any rent on it so she is more than happy to leave it unless she wants to move Smile it's a brilliant scheme, l see they are wanting to roll it out in England now too ideal for the youngsters .
There has been a terrible row between my Mum and Sister again Hmm
Have a wonderful pancake day everyone Smile

Mrsmadevans · 25/02/2020 17:29

I forgot to say .....l did the washing and wiping up after the pancakes,
awaits round of applause Grin

WreckTangled · 25/02/2020 17:34

What happened there? Hmm 🎣

NoWordForFluffy · 25/02/2020 17:45

One was a PBP and one was a survey from a uni about menopause health!

Busy day, Mrs. Well done!

I'm hereeeeeeeee, just been busy, with colouring and Mario kart Grin

What on earth? Deleted posts on here?

Fluffy has updated me on the latest troll.

Have made pancakes, good mum badge here today Grin

EmrysAtticus · 25/02/2020 17:52

I love your cross stitch by the way fluffy and I think you are super speedy!

Mrsmadevans · 25/02/2020 17:56

Grin @WreckTangled
My sister saw my Mum's cheque stubs and wanted to know who the 50 quid was for and Mum said R's birthday , R is my Mum's niece by her youngest brother , she has bgr all and l would say she is of slightly low intellect but she is a lovely kind girl . My sister went off on one.
'She's on benefits , l don't know anyone who is hard up on benefits, she has no business accepting that from you a pensioner, she had enough money to fly to Africa and marry that man' , she's married a black man she has been talking to for years on FB and yes he might just be after a UK passport, l really don't know and it just got worse from there Hmm. I posted the cheque/birthday card for my Mum, l feel it is her money, she isn't senile, far from it, if she feels happy doing that then fine by me. She has always been very charitable & given this niece Birthday and Christmas presents . If l thought Mum was being taken for granted l would try to stop it but it genuinely makes my Mum happy.

Mrsmadevans · 25/02/2020 17:59

@PJMasksGhekko I love you to bits! l am laughing my head off here you brilliant gel you! Chip off the Fluffy block Grin

Mrsmadevans · 25/02/2020 18:01

I missed it and thought you were asking me re the row with Dsis and DMum @WreckTangled.
I am reeling with laughter here it is so funny Grin

EmrysAtticus · 25/02/2020 18:03

Only half way through the pancake batter and everyone is saying they are full Angry Am telling them to pull themselves together Grin

Mrsmadevans · 25/02/2020 18:14

@Em how very dare they Grin

PJMasksGhekko · 25/02/2020 18:30

So rude Em Grin

Love you too mrs, and I wish your sister would just leave your poor mum alone, it really is all about the money, not concern for .our mum

PJMasksGhekko · 25/02/2020 18:31

your mum even

Mrsmadevans · 25/02/2020 18:52

Ahhh thank you @PJ , it is remarkable how easy they are to spot , l only have to see the first sentence and l know Grin

PJMasksGhekko · 25/02/2020 19:34

Get you Mrs Grin

NoWordForFluffy · 25/02/2020 20:17

Ah, your bloody sister, Mrs!

The trolls are stupidly easy to spot. They have a particular tone about them. Even the ones who insist they aren't trolls! 😂😂

Mrsmadevans · 25/02/2020 20:37

Grin @PJMasksGhekko
Grin @Fluffy l know they are so obvious!

WreckTangled · 25/02/2020 22:55

Goodness mrs your sister needs to get over herself!

I had a vole run out in front of me just now and what I thought was a rabbit but it had a long tail. It was too big to be a rat so I'm going for chinchilla Grin my sight isn't great in the dark 🤷🏽‍♀️

I've been at my friends. I spent £20 on an Indian for us both and mine was not very nice so now I regret spending the money.

Mrsmadevans · 25/02/2020 23:03

@WreckTangled are you sure it wasn't a rat ? l bet it was a rat Grin
My sis is something else, you just don't know how bad she is , she will be the death of my Mum.
I hate when l pay good money and the food is shite, that was a bugger Wreck Hmm
I better get to bed , night everyone Smile

WreckTangled · 25/02/2020 23:09

But it had a bouncy bum when it ran like a rabbit Grin

Morning! The rain woke me earlier and I didn't get back to sleep, annoyingly. My alarm goes off soon. Sigh.

Wreck, rats can be BIG. So I'm voting rat too!

We make our curries ourselves using the Spicery kit. Crazy, did you ever get one?

We need to post more so we end this thread at the end of the month. Get chatting!!

My cold is worse today. It looks cold outside.
