Morning Ladies

wooohooooo great news Tort Micky looks sweet!

Congrats on the new member of your household Tort TheMadHouse family welcome Micky (Although DS1 is scared of dogs)

We had a great time swimming this morning and then visited FIL and MIL. Funeral takes place on Wedensday and all the arrangements have been made.

I have the chicken in for dinner and I have prepared a saus casarole for the slow cooker for tomorrow.

I need to do extra veg for dinner and then do the ironing.

Might take the mini mads out for a walk on the beach to let DH get on with his work.

He goes in early, as he hates missing bath and bedtime, so for the last two weeks has been at his desk by 7 at the lastest!!

EHM can I have the recipe for the soup please.
Dream What rooms are left to do now?

Waves to everyone else

Congratulations Gibberish* !!! Well done too

Tort he looks lovely! And Micky is a sweet name. I bet you can't wait!!

I haven't weighed myself again yet...have to wait until Wednesday.
I have done my food shopping, and also bagged another bargain...bought a pink hooded zip up trackie top, reduced from £42...to £8!!!
I also bought a skipping rope LOL! DH and I have been laughing our heads off watching each other skip. I can't believe I'd keep it up for hours as a kid...I can bearly do about 15 skips and I'm ready for a lie down!
Its very good fun, but really hard work!! You don't realise how hard it is when you are small! (It bounces all your bouncy bits around a bit more than I'd like too )
I think I will keep at it though, it really gets your heart rate up, and you get a good sweat on! The skipping rope was only £1.15! Another Bargain!

Anyway, I have been making myself portions of Lasagna...using Quorn. Never tried it before...but it is super low in calories. It smells really yummy if nothing else!

Kids have got the bouncy castle up in the garden, and DH is supervising, so I shall get on with preparing supper.

Thanks Bianca and TMH. We can't wait! Kind of that it has all happened so quickly! But thrilled!

Cleaned out rabbit and guinea and put more washing on.
Going to make fairy cakes again now. They don't last 5mins here lol!

x posts Luda. Yes he looks very sweet and we can't wait.
Need to get food etc ready. They provide a coller, lead and muzzle. (Recommend to use it while out for the 1st week or so just in case, although they are normally fine with other dogs!)

Lady has offered to get me a bowl from Argos (double set on a stand for greyhounds long legs/neck)to save me going in on the train just for that.

Need to get DD1 qa new single duvet so that the dog can have her crappy old one to sleep on. She was due a better one anyway.

I agree skipping is good but hard! Watch out if your pelvic floor muscles aren't 100% .lol!

Lasangne sounds good. I have never made it. Something new to try!

Hello ALL EHM Boris caught up with me today and sent me to sleep this afternoon. Well it was Boris, last night's scrummy dinner (my lamb shanks were stunning) or a combination of the two . Hope Ellie is OK, I noticed your sleep has been disturbed.

Up
Empty DW

I'm listening to the rather wonderful Will Self talking about J G Ballard on Radio 4. a steady day is worthwhile

lol Tort...Yes I have discovered the effects of a slack pelvic floor muscle LOLOLOLOLOL!! After 3 kids it is shot! I have to go to loo several times before doing any kind of jumping about !!!
(Sorry If TMI!!!)

lol luda At least i'm not the only one! I didn't expect it while skipping though!

Cakes are cooked and being iced by DC with different colour icing.

Home made chips for tea with shop bought pizza! DD1 not impressed! She says she hates pizza but i am fed up of cooking different meals for everyone so she can eat it or go hungry.

GO well done for taking it easy today!

Very exciting tortoise - he looks lovely.

ludaloo - don't try trampolining either!

Very steady is good GO you need to rest more!

Gibberish - for weightloss.

TMH - You may regrest asking! I have to paint the stairwell, landing, hallway and both downstairs rooms, dp has to fit new bathroom and rip out old one, then I can decorate old bathroom and turn it into a bedroom.
DD1s room is ready,we just need the new bed, then she can move in.

Thanks jas

rofl luda I once, only once, tried to go on a trampoline. Big Mistake. Was so embarassed, was like Niagara Falls after a flood

luda have signed up for the Boots Diet thingy. It's absolutely brilliant, would definintely recommend it. Did an exercise dvd today - nearly killed me lol. But my hip feels fine!

Oh and dd4 has been throwing up everywhere today

oh no Giberish poor dd4. Hope she feels better soon.

Oh no Gibberish How awful. If it's the same thing Ed had I can tell you the being sick lasts for 24 hrs...better out than in huh Hugs for DD4 Hope she's better soon

Hi guys, Been away for weekend so house is chaos, I have too much work to do and we just found out DD didnt get into the school we want I am also full of cold.

I'll catch up properly tomorrow hopefully.

Thanks Well, 24hrs isn't too bad. Here's hoping the rest don't catch it!

Off to work tomorrow and Tuesday so won't be back until Wed.

Have a good few days everyone! x

Sorry to hear that FGS. Will catch up with you through the week x

Oh no FGS. sorry your DD didn't get into the school. Hope your cold is better soon.

FGS Sorry about the school, what is your second choice like?

Not much to go then Dream We have the whole house to do, as it is still builders magnolia after over a year and badly marked, but have no money for paint at the moment nor the time even er

Oh I still have a pelic floor, but I do have post c-section slab, which is never going to go without surgery after 2 sections in 15 months.

goglad you are taking it easy.Ellie is fine just taking a little while to get back into a sleep routine after returning home on 5/1/08 after 2 wks away & then being ill.
luda great shopping. I hoping to attend a Hatha Yoga Session tomorrow night.I now concerned I may pee my pants during the session.thought hadn't crossed my mind
biancastill managed to avoid using new pans
gibberish Well done you!
dream8am lovely
torthow cute
fgs sorry to hear about school.hope you feel better soon.

TMH Its very easy receipe I made up myself one day when I had veg & chicken breasts use up. Sorry dont have exact quanties as I go by the size of my pan. It freezes really well to. If you dont want chicken in it, use good stock without the chicken.Also you can blend rather than have chunky.

Spicy Chunky Veg & Chicken Soup:
Heat chilli/garlic olive oil in pan
add onion & cook
then add chicken stock
3 Chicken breasts in chunks (or more if required)
1 Veg stock cube
parsnips in chunks
carrotts in chunks
turnip in chunks
pototoes in chunks(I add 2 med sized)
season with salt & pepper
1/2-1 teaspoon of hot curry power

Bring to boil & simmer until veg is tender & chicken cooked. Hope it works out for you.
