Ooh, enjoy your shopping MrsM. I'm still limiting my excursions to once a week, while DMIL has DS (she has him twice a week, but I use the other time to sort the house!).

That looks nasty, Wreck. You'll need to be careful not to knock it.

boots you should have chucked some Dreamies on him Wink hope you get chance for a rest today.

Ooh that looks sore Wreck
Not sure if this helps but my ex's mum put lavender oil on a burn I had as a teen and it soothed it loads and left no scar.

We're on the road, heading to Skye today. I've always wanted to go so looking forward to it, and the camp site we parked the campervan in last night had really nice shower facilities so I feel clean and am in a good mood today 😊
I do have a bloody midge bite on my cheek though 🙄 I'd done so well with my repellent and net but one still got me

WreckTangled · 03/08/2020 13:05

It actually doesn't hurt at all, except under warm water.

Went to get the dc's feet measured. DD's shoes still fit her so that's good, ds' were 1.5 sizes too small but only had one style in his size which weren't suitable for a football playing seven year old so have just ordered online. Start rite have a 15% off code at the moment.

Went to our favourite indi cafe for lunch. Coffee, two smoothies, three sandwiches and three slices of cake for £16 Shock this government scheme is going to make me fat.

Mrsmadevans · 03/08/2020 14:44

Bargains galore here with the 15%off
Glad your burn isn't painful @WreckTangled 💐
@CrazyBaubles your holiday sounds divine 🤗

HairsprayBabe · 03/08/2020 15:55

New addition

DS born today, 8lbs7 gas and air and water birth - 7hrs from first contraction to delivery.

I like him quite a bit 😍

Mrs You know the rules - you have to go back tomorrow and buy something for DD1 now! Grin

Mrsmadevans · 03/08/2020 17:47

Grin Boot she gets enough as it is Grin
Spoilt rotten! Grin

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 03/08/2020 17:55

Had a very eventful morning almost getting stuck up a dirt track which Google had assured us was a road Grin. We did end up having a lovely walk though.

pussycatinboots · 03/08/2020 18:16

Mrs Ah, gowangowan Wink
She's a diamond for sorting out your Mum and Bob.

FireflyGirl · 03/08/2020 18:39

Congratulations, Hairspray. I did wonder if that's why you'd gone quiet today!!

You snooze, you lose MrsM Grin That dress is lovely, but that style would never suit my figure.

Has anyone had a subscription to/experience with HelloFresh? They've got an offer on at the moment where they're offering 50% off your first box. I'm sick of 1) planning meals and 2) cooking meals, so I'm tempted to get my a subscription and tell DH he's cooking for the week!

WreckTangled · 03/08/2020 18:42

I had a hello fresh box. It was ok. The one for three easily did all four of us but the chicken dishes use thighs which I don't really like. It was nice not to think about dinner though I have to say.

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 03/08/2020 18:43

I have thought about it Firefly in the past as I do hate meal planning but never actually taken the plunge!

NerosFiddle · 03/08/2020 18:52

Evening all.

Congratulations Hairspray.

I've been run off my feet all weekend but I couldn't tell you what I've actually done.

NoWordForFluffy · 03/08/2020 18:58

I had a similar thought, Firefly! I'm glad we were right! 👶

We have so many chillies in the greenhouse. Look at this whopper (I'm tall and have big hands)!

Mrs, you should've hidden the clothes from DD2. When does she move out so she can't snaffle new clothes?

Congratulations Hairspray
How are you feeling?

Lovely bargains MrsMad

Glad you made it out of that most - where were you going?

I've never used HelloFresh Firefly. I would if meal planning was up to me but DH has been doing it for months.

We made it to Skye and it is more beautiful than I expected (and I had high expectations)! Just checking in to our hotel (we have one booked every few nights). We're in this one as it's my birthday tomorrow - and I've brought the cake from my hamper with us especially 🍰😋

NoWordForFluffy · 03/08/2020 19:19

My sat nav once tried that trick on me, Most. Luckily I clicked relatively quickly!

Crazy, have a lovely time on Skye. And a lovely birthday tomorrow.

I've not used Hello Fresh. Wreck, thighs are the tastiest part of a bird. We used them in curries.

Boots, your cats were bloody useless this morning.

OP posts:
WreckTangled · 03/08/2020 19:23

They might be the tastiest but they look horrible and are enough to turn me veggie 🤮

Mrsmadevans · 03/08/2020 20:00

Happy Birthday tomorrow Crazy l am going to say it now so that if you haven't got any signal tomorrow you will know l have not forgotten!
Happy Birthday Crazy , have a wonderful day tomorrow enjoy your lovely holiday and that cake , l want to see pictures too lol Flowers Wine Gin
