Morning all

Rain rain rain again.😠

Need to get moving and go for shopping. Loo handle bust so need new connecting bit. Always something.
Didnt sleep well plus had the craziest dreams😀

Hope weather holds for you Book.

Morning all!
Solid rain here ...ah well .
Have to pop out to the market for eggs , fruit and some fish, but waiting for a delivery to arrive, so will have to wait in for that first.

Have a bit of housework to sort, and some more veg seeds to sow. After that - iI will be doing some bits and bobs, and I have just got through the post another blanket to join.
DD2 is here for tea, and macaroni cheese has been requested :)
Have a good day all - and hope the rain stays away if possible!

Wet here this morning too but dry now, just been ball throwing in the garden. Charlie v pleased to see me when I get home from work.

Scouts management team meeting this evening and might be meeting friend for a dog walk in a bit.

Off to see Wilf tomorrow armed with chocolate brownies and sausage rolls. Also local Sausages from our friends butchery. Two friends have sent him presents and we are going to see Peter Rabbit too.

Sound good 84

@bookbook have you ever made Delia Smiths Mac Cheese with leeks and bacon??? Seriously delicious!!!

Sounds good so far. We've had a tough day here, so just trying to scoot smalls to bed so that we can stop. Eating went really well till I just stuffed biscuits in my face!

At least it's a start. Meant to be raining now tomorrow, so need to pay out for something to do and manage to keep an eye on a 1, 2, 3, 5 and 11 year old! Great stuff

Much love to you all, have a good evening!

Evening all.
Book have you made 'Gruffalo Crumble' for dgs? My kids loved it.

Work actually ok. Not very busy but gave us time to do all the cleaning a bit earlier and just clearing up after last few customers at end.

Morning was fun! Dragged ds1 out with us!!! Kept persisting he was showering and shaving and coming. Was a lot later leaving than planned but i am a stubborn ol bisum 😉 went for coffee and cake and had such a lovely chat about tv programnes, films etc think he was surprised. Got shopping and by then so sick of rain came home.

84 sounds good to me? Any time you are up this way with sausages do pop in😁 sitting eating a sausage buttie now😁

Hope you get to relax now mrsj. Don't envy you tomorrow.

Squirrels hope rain stayed off for your walk.

Evening all!
84 - I shall look it up - I usually do fried onion , bacon and frozen peas . DD2 took home the spare for lunch ....Tomorrow sounds lovely- enjoy your day :)
Willow - aw , sounds as if he hadn't realised he can talk with his Mum ! No - haven't done Gruffalo crumble - I know I saw mention of it up thread, but can't remember what it is, so let me know , pretty please .
MrsJ - its hard not to treat yourself when you get a few minutes sit down, isn't it . (ooh, and I saw about the blanket making - great idea!)
Chasing - Charlie certainly keeping you busy ( and fit too!)
It stopped raining this afternoon, just misty tonight. And the delivery we were waiting in for - well, it didn't come .
Hoping it is dry tomorrow to get down and pick some veg. Got to go to the dentist to have them look at a replacement filling that was done a couple of weeks ago , as it doesn't feel right . Joyous day ahead tomorrow!
Sleep well everyone

Good to hear work was okay willow, and that you had a nice time with ds1 ☺👍.

Hope your evening has improved after your day cake.

Walk with friend didn't materialise, we are doing it on Thu instead, so went for a wander round the village with him instead, lovely late afternoon weather.

Scout meeting was good and have just come home and cried - someone posted this on the WAY site and it just struck a chord. Really, I'm doing okay ... but oh god I miss him.

How annoying on the delivery book - grr

Squirrels (((hugs)))

Having trouble getting a link Book and one of the recipies is fruit! Thats not the original!

Basically mac cheese with black pudding bits in it with grilled breadcrumbs and cheese on top.

I haven't properly cried for a bit, I've spent the last couple of hours sobbing on and off since I got back from my scout meeting.
Fuck it.

Morning all
grey and a bit dank here, but not raining
oh Chasing - I think you have been holding it together for so long , that I think that when something does slip through your defences, it really hits. Huge ((hugs))
Willow - ah , yes! we all like black pudding, so may well give that a whirl :)
Need to get going and get a load of washing in , hope it dries ...!
Have a good day everyone

Sending you some big hugs Squirrel Hope you feel a bit better today.

We're doing OK so far, but it's only 9am and we haven't left the house yet! No me time so far this week - lucky to get a shower in. Tomorrow and the weekend will be quieter...

Check in with you all later

book the wool is sitting in my Amazon basket waiting for pay day Nervous, but will worry about the logistics later!

Morning all.

Up late slept late and had lazy morning.
Getting moving now, shower housework and baking with ds2 later. Still drizzling on and dull.

Squirels hope you are feeling better today. Sometimes a good cry is what you need to relieve the pent up stress/emotion. Sometimes we dont realise we have been holding things in and the dam needs to burst a bit. Thats how it works with me anyway. Sometimes we just get sideswiped.

Out for coffee & Cake with a friend this afternoon.

Chasing, I hope you are feeling better

I'm here!!!!

Coffee time😁
Wrangled mountains of washing, dished it out to be put away and collected a bagfull to add to wash pile! Talk about painting the forth road bridge 😁
Other bits done and having a coffee before we do baking. Banana bread and maybe buns. Will freeze some for packed lunches next week.
Onwards and upwards.

X posted 84
Lol great photo😁

Just checking in, hope feeling bit more OK, squirrels, not b -- fair is it, and yes, that poster says it all.
willow and book, just when do you find time to breathe.
Lovely photo 84,.
Horse, I'm envious of the cake.

I'm having problems with a company trying to claim I owe them money for artwork and website. As I retired 2 years' ago and haven't therefore signed any contracts or agreed anything since way before then, I'm somewhat miffed. They've now sent me a copy of their artwork (wrong mobile no's but name, address correct etc.). All very worrying so I've zapped an email to Trading Standards in Preston to see if they can frighten them off. Blocked number on mobile too.

I don't, who would, neeeeeeeeeed this hassle . Son will be here later so can share with him - maybe NDN (the cop) might advise too if needs be. Grrrr.

Selena
Thats a pia! Hope its resolved pdq. Very bad data storage if they cant even find the correct person they did work for.

I seem to have got stuck😁 banana bread in oven and had some lunch and havent moved since😁 Need to sweep kitchen floor and wash it and hang up next load of washing. Someone give me a push please.

Stopped drizzling but flipping cold outside and just put fire on. Fed up of cold miserable days.

Hello all

My brain is mush, but we've survived the day. DS bathed and on the home straight to bed time, DD in the shower, but stuff to do still and she keeps telling me she's not tired maybe not, but I bloody well am

I've eaten my body weight in sugar and pasta. Going to do a food shop and try and start again.

Sending you some more hugs Squirrel Hoping you are in a better frame of mind this evening.

Selena what a sham - surely they'd need to prove i.e. produce paperwork etc. Try not to worry and I hope that they're scared off by the Trading Standards or NDN can help.

book how are you doing? Washing dry? I don't really even bother to hang mine out slatten Well in fairness it was 3PM before I got to washing, so there'd be no point before it got darked on.

Willow that sounds full on and yes, all of motherhood feels like a pointless task, but of course you can't not do it either! Washing, cleaning, cooking, homework, tantrums (looks like teenage ones are worse than toddler???!!! and then it all starts again.

Just my two tomorrow and then DD off for a few days so down to one then!

horse what cake did you have?

Have a lovely time Lottie and Wilf.

Thanks all x

Cake with friend sounds good horse.

Nice pic 84, hope you are enjoying seeing each other.

Never-ending willow I've hardly any washing to do this week with the boys away.

Sounds like the next few days will be easier for you cake.

Selena is it a mix up or a scam? Either way it will get sorted x

book, I can't remember what you wrote

Off to bridge club in a while then ds1 will be home for the night before I drop him at school for his German exchange trip in the morning. Must get his passport and EHIC out of the drawer!
