Hi all......

Ivor.....sorry I didn't manage to get back on yesterday...the xmas fair is here in the village...its the school xmas fair...sorry to confuse you! I have got to go into town though this afternoon...my cupboards are bare! What time were you going to be in town this afternoon? (if you get this before you go out)
I have no idea where the food market is going to be by the way...but I'd love to find out!

Hi to everyone...hope everyone is well....

I have to catch up on some FLYing at some point today...or over the weekend at least...I have been a bit slack this week!

See you all later....oh and hello to newbies xx

Quick last post before bed. Hi Hazelnuts! We now have a really good but rather pricey local butcher and I also get a lot of meat from my family who farm. I prefer to support small businesses so you've just reminded me that I need to place a large order with a couple who used to come to the Farmers' Market but who stopped coming when another pork seller was given a stall as it was direct competition and between their travel (about an hour) and the cost of the stall, it was barely worth their while. They still offer a courier service I think which is about £5 which is not much when placing an order for about £60. I don't buy butter from a market, I have to admit. I think we're rather particular. We each seem to like different butter or spread in this house.

LOL Ivor. Thats a lot of shoes. I wont remember to nag you though. I have a job to remember to nag myself of things that I need to be nagged on.

tortoise, I forgot to put on my last post that it is great to talk to her. I find her very friendly. And she is not like the SS are, she believes me when I say things that xp1 does, where as the SS say he would and could never do those things. I feel like I am going mad when they tell me that I was not seeing what I was seeing.

DW now finished so going to unload it now. (only so I can have my favorite coffee mug )

HazelnutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 18/11/2006 21:59

I get my meats from tesco, I have never got foods online so I dont know any sites. I only get tesco`s as its easier for me to get it there.
Its a shame about your family farm. Least you can get some good meats. I like meat that you can eat without having to chew and chew and chew it. It better for the DC to eat then too. Tesco meats are not to bad, but I dont really buy meats like I would from the farmers though.

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 18/11/2006 22:18

I have just made some quick biscuits!
I fancied hot choc and bics but don't have any so thought sod it i will make some!
Ready to eat soon.
Im not a big meat eater so don't really buy much. Got ausages from the butcher friday.Cost me just over £4 for 12 sausages.(basically one meal for the 5 of us!)

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 18/11/2006 22:28

HazelnutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 18/11/2006 22:59

Yes I am still here.

You have got me smelling cookies cooking now. MMMmmm I could eat a cookie now, A bit late to start cooking though

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 18/11/2006 23:00

Ive eaten 6 of them! Not bad for very basic biscuits.

HazelnutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 18/11/2006 23:19

lol, you will be making some more then

Been and sorted the christmas tree thread

satinshoes · 18/11/2006 23:23

hi guys. bad bout of insomnia here so i'm back.

hn - i will nag you about the shoes glad your xp didnt turn up - shows what an ar$e he obviously is.

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 18/11/2006 23:42

Hi satin.
Im off to bed soon.I was up until 1am last night! Should of gone to bed really but i was celebrating my 1st year of being single!!

HazelnutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 18/11/2006 23:45

satinshoes, I had abad night lastnight b/c of him. I am glad he did not turn up as I dont really want to see him again. I was so glad when my solicitor said she would come out to me. That was the last thing I would have thought she would do. She knows though that it is only me and I dont really have anyone else apart from my mum. She has already had a few bad times with xp1, so he would only say shes saying things to help me and that she lies. Every one lies to him. yet he says he never tells lies, a lie in its self. I would like to know how he is going to get out of this one though? Yet in other ways I just wish he would F,R,O

I best get to bed soon. DC will still wake up early. DS1 is getting better now so he will start waking up by 6 am soon.

Ok with the shoes, I will need a few kicks though. lol

NN all, see you tomorrow.

I want argos to drop there price on a Waving Santa and 2 Reindeer Silhouette. at mo its £50 and thats from £70. I want it but I cant cover the cost of £50 So going to send magic dreams to argos to drop the price

Well why cant a girl dream? hehehe

satinshoes · 18/11/2006 23:47

you two are mad with the christmas decs up already but i bet they look lovely

NN

HazelnutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 18/11/2006 23:49

Mine is just over a year tortise.

A year of crap from XP1 still though!

Just the same but without XP2, DS1 does not blame things on XP2 now but xp1 still does.

NN all xxxxx

satinshoes · 19/11/2006 11:17

cappuccino - have the excuse of nesting

Quootiepie · 19/11/2006 11:53

too tired to read alll these posts - At least people are still FLYing! There was only 3 posts when I left yesterday. Might try and FLY today... but more than likely ill give myself a day off.

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 19/11/2006 12:19

Hey Q. How was the meet up? Did you have a good time?

Quootiepie · 19/11/2006 12:21

lol - yeah. Ended up looking after a very drunk MNetter though for the last hour or so, so forgot to ring DH to pick me up! Club closed at 2, but I didnt get until 5. Met Jelley

ISawTortoiseKissingSantaClaus · 19/11/2006 12:45

ooooh which one?? go on spill!!
So whats jelley like?? !

Quootiepie · 19/11/2006 12:50

really nice & chatty

HazelnutsRoastingOnAnOpenFire · 19/11/2006 14:12

Afternoon all.

What a lovely day. I have washed all the bedding today and have it out on the line drying It will only need finishing off in the TD.

luda I am ok, I just wish I knew why xp1 wants to hurt me all the time for. He is also hurting the DSs more DS1 than DS2. The only good thing he is going is that he is not seeing them 1 week and then not again for a week or 2 and then seeing them again. That would mess up DS1. He did that when he first left. DS2 was too young then but DS1 was really messed up.

cappuccino.. I have had too many days off over the last 3 weeks. I need to do FLYing when I feel really up to it. So week days or weekends don't not really matter to me. Today has been a great day for washing and getting it out on the line as its sunny. That saves me money and trying to dry bedding on the airers.

tortoise... Hows the decs going? I went up in the loft again and found some more lights. I have them going around the lounge now
Ireally really want the santa and 2 reindeer silhouette that argos have. It would make my outside look fab. I know DC would love him too. DD has "Ho Ho" locked in now. Santa is now "Ho Ho" It sounds so really cute from young DC.

Going to make some cookies now and get dinner really for cooking. Roast sausages dinner tonight.

Jelley · 19/11/2006 14:35

You have to say that QP. You know I'm going to read it
I enjoyed it too. I left early (byqp's standards) as I was starting to worry about my friend/my baby.

They were fine (but baby had been up from 11 so just as well I got back)

Arrived home at 12.
dd2 was sick on the carpet before I even got everyone in the house.[yuk]

Tons of cleaning to do, but no motivation.

Back tomorrow, to start again (again)

Quootiepie · 19/11/2006 14:36

na, Jelley, honestly, you were really nice
