Sounds like busy weekends all round, we got lots of washing done, DH cut the grass, we went out for a lovely walk in the sunshine. Not looking so nice here today

Have you decided what you are having for dinner yet TA ? .

Nope. Tesco order is coming tomorrow but we still have some food in the house. Could have:

Cauliflower macaroni cheese (Jamie Oliver)
Sausages with roasted veg
Pie and chips (with peas or frozen green beans or something - an entire meal from the freezer)
Sausages or pie with mash (again peas or something)

Any thoughts? I think I'll save the macaroni cheese for a night when we're in a rush.

I know TA I don't hold out much hope we bought a new suite last year and paid cash [thunk] It arrived in Sept and had an inch long tear in it that had been repaired, so they came out and inspected it and said I was entitled to a new suite
New cuite ordered would be here 1st week in Jan, They rang to say suite was here and we should wait for someone to ring and arrange pickup and delivery, hey presto they went into admin
So got a letter to say because we paid cash we are an unsecured customer but fill form anyway, so I should do it

Anyway I have a lovely pot of stew on
and have baked blondies

Right, sausages it is. Though I think I might do the roasted veg. Will decide later, see what DP thinks.

Just had an email from DP - he's seen a job I might want to do! Woohoo! More applications for me.

Really enjoyed weekend away. Bath is bloody gorgeous and definitely better child-free. Friends brilliant. Love them. Feel like I have been a bit out of touch with them since having DS since none of them have kids. Must keep in contact etc. Was like having masses of therapy talking about how old we are etc. Funny.

Thanks everyone for maternity thread support. Here is some maternity news for those interested. 12 weeks today! Scan on Thurs. Quite excited.

Cravings - risotto, cheese and pickle sandwiches, cream tea (erm or was that cos was in Bath???)

Bump - not officially 'out' yet but clothes being tested. Must go maternity clothes shopping.
