Well, it does have it's advantages - at least I'm away upstairs - I can hear dd and ds bickering in the garden so I'm pleased to be away from them for a minute! Dd's voice gets very high pitched when she's cross

oh - glitter I like Quinoa...yummy with sun dried tomatoes, onion and pesto...may have it for supper this eve with dh...

tortoise · 12/04/2007 17:55

What is Quinoa??

shouldbe · 12/04/2007 18:09

erm...quinoa is a bit like cous-cous I guess...

tortoise · 12/04/2007 18:14

ah ok. Cous cous is ok. But pesto is not nice! At least i tried it i guess!!

Hi back again, so much for my kick back and relax afternoon, I have up to now done this:

4 loads of washing, either out on the line or in the tumble dryer

Hoovered the stairs, upstairs, bathroom and bedrooms

Ironing for a couple of hours

Tonight I am not doing anything! I am going to sit down and watch tv. I deserve abit of a rest now!

Yadda you were spot on with your prediction and so yes, the Queen's lady in waiting!

ludaloo · 12/04/2007 18:29

Eewwww cous cous...I hate it! Its like eating bean bag balls!

Kids all bathed and smelling nice again They are all sat mesmorised by The Night Garden on Cbeebies (It's soooo odd!!! but they sit open mouthed at it!!)

I'm hoping Bed Time goes ok...DD2 is knackered, she dropped off in her high chair at dinner and I had to wake her up. She perked up after her bath though.

well better go and close their curtains and make it vaguely night time ish!! I hate the light nights when you are trying to excecute a flawless bedtime!!!!!

glitterfairy · 12/04/2007 18:29

I like pesto but no can do on this detox thingy! ANyway quinoa was the sacred grain of the incas and is related to spinach but shouldbe is right is a little like cous cous but gluten free.

aufish you have been so busy today well done. Am off now to cook tea and then finish hoovering and tidying when all is quiet later, much much later.

shouldbe · 12/04/2007 18:33

yay! Did I get something food related right?...very unusal for me - I have no skill or knowledge in the kitchen (other than making a mean LDC !
Luda , mine are in front of The Night Garden too - ds LOVES it ...I don't get it at all though....

glitterfairy · 12/04/2007 18:38

I went to visit someone with littlies last week and had to watch wonderpets in horror!

tortoise · 12/04/2007 18:58

EHM · 12/04/2007 19:04

Its good for chatting to DS's at their Dads. And will be good to talk to my parents and bro in Turkey too.

EHM · 12/04/2007 21:16

tort thats a great idea, especially for your lo's. Also you parents will be able to see the lo's

tortoise · 12/04/2007 21:18

Yes hopefully. Still waiting for them to move into a villa and get their stuff shipped over. Its been 17 mths so far! But there is an internet cafe place just need to convince mum to use it. My 12 yr old bro does!

EHM · 12/04/2007 21:27

If your mums anything like mine its a nightmare when she's on the internet. She calls me & I spend all the time telling her which buttons etc to press

tortoise · 12/04/2007 21:28

Lol yes i think she will be like that! But she has my little bro to help her!!

Aufish · 12/04/2007 21:48

I can't stay away from here today! Hi Tort and EHM. Sounds like my best friend with computers EHM she phoned me up last night from Cornwall asking me how to look up something on Myspace, so I ended up setting up the laptop and running her through it. We didn't find what she wanted straight off but I had to finish the call as I had to get DP up for work. I think I was off the computer for a total of 5 minutes and when I got back I found exactly what she was looking for by a different route. When I called her back she called me a Tech Head and a computer wizz. Don't think so! Bless her!

tortoise · 12/04/2007 21:53

hi aufish.
Most things i have learnt to do on the comp are self taught. I dont know much yet though

Aufish · 12/04/2007 21:55

hi Tort, I'm exactly the same, mostly self taught. How are you anyway this evening. I'm shattered, think the late night has caught up with me and am starting to struggle now.
