Piste is busily plumping up the cushions and making a space for Blondes to dump the naughty step.

Here we go! Let's see 2010 out in style my fellow Slinkies!

sat night was heaven - got there 6.30 - gave babs 8mths a bottle and he was in bed just after 7 and didnt hear a peep from him, i left at 1am

every hour or so the butler knocked on the door (in hotel bedroom) to see if i wanted anything, ie tea/drinks/food etc

yes [http://www.hevercastle.co.uk/ hever]] is meant to be haunted by ann boyeln but i didnt see her [hgrin]

managed to clean house today, well downstairs, and was doing the hoover hobble [hsmile]

dh is making fahittas for tea

Murtette · 25/10/2010 17:48

Blondes - impressed that you're doing cleaning with your ankle as it is.

Bebe - we will be doing toy rotation. I went and bought some storage stuff today for just that purpose. I've also been really anal and listed all of the people and things which go with her toys as I find it much easier knowing that its Noah or a zebra I'm looking for rather than just having a feeling that something is missing.

Pretty - it will be so satisfying doing on top of the cupboard as you'll be able to see a difference with each wipe that you do.

GG - I'm not surprised you ache. Are you feeling better now?

I still haven't plucked up the courage to weigh in today. And I haven't done myself any favours by having two blondies this morning and two brownies this afternoon. And there's half a chocolate cheesecake left which really should be finished today and its just too delicious to squirt with washing up liquid.

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/10/2010 18:33

needs must murtette - house was very untidy - and yes go and weigh!!

bebejones · 25/10/2010 19:17

Shameless plea for votes for DD in Next baby competition on facebook! If you are on facebook can you vote for her pretty pretty pretty please?! :o apps.facebook.com/baby_modelcomp/entry/220685 Follow the link! (I disagree with the way it's being run, with voting, but didn't realise until after I entered her! Don't think we stand a cat in hells chance but have to try now she is entered!)

Murtette - whats a Blondie?!?! Confused
Wish I had made an anal list of toy componants, I dread to think what's under our sofa!! Hmm

Blondes - NAUGHTY! You should be resting with your poor purple foot up!

Have been naughty & eaten 2.5 french fancies! Very yummy though! :o

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/10/2010 21:33

murtette you didn't eat me did you? [hgrin]

bebe yes I'm on fb and yes have voted for P. She looks a right cutie [hsmile]

bebejones · 26/10/2010 10:14

Thank you Blondes!! [hgrin]

She is my cheeky monkey! Think the voting system is very unfair, it's all about who has the most friends! Popularity contest really! Bit cross I didn't realise before I put her picture in! Also cross that I let DH pick the picture, coz I would have picked a better one! [hwink]

I really need to know what a Blondie is...is it a white chocolate Brownie?! [hhmm]

MIL coming for dinner, am making pie, do I eat it or do I have soup?! [hconfused]

Also, what shall I change to, BOOjones or bebebones?! Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....decisions decisions! [hgrin]

GettinGhoulish · 26/10/2010 11:14

I've not been on facebook for ages Bebe, will sort out my password and vote for dd Smile

These baby competitions are all about who has the most family/friends to vote for them, our local rag has one every year.

Both dd and ds are ill, ds has a cough and dd has just been sick, she's in my bed watching little princess now. Doesn't look like we're going anywhere today, also stayed in yesterday.

I still like BOOJones the best!

GettinGhoulish · 26/10/2010 11:16

Just voted for her, she is seriously cute!

bebejones · 26/10/2010 11:22

Thanks GG! She's in the local rag one as well, although not really too bothered about that, was more about getting some nice (cheap) pics done! :o

Hope your poorly DC are better soon, how miserable for them being ill over half term! :(

bebebones · 26/10/2010 13:41

Just checking out the new name!! This appeared to be the favourite (sorry GG)

Waiting for Asda to get here with my shopping, I'm staaaaaaaaaaaaaarving!!!

GettinGhoulish · 26/10/2010 16:51

Or you could be BOOBones

I am fed up with GettinTrimmer now thinking of GettingOn or my porn star name CindyMacfarlane. My friend's is better, hers is DiggyPratt

bebebones · 26/10/2010 17:03

Hehe :o Mine would be PigletBrown!

Maybe there's a thread in there somewhere where everyone can change their MN name to their porn name?!

prettybird · 26/10/2010 17:45

Like GG, I preferred BOOJones! [hsmile]

I suppose I should change my name, but I really can't be bothered.

Still being good - sneaked on to the scales this morning after completing Day 27 of the Shred and had broken the 13 stone barrier! :)

Murtette · 26/10/2010 19:46

Pretty - well done on breaking the 13 st barrier. Its such a great feeling, isn't it.

Bebe - blondies are brownies but with white chocolate and, in my recipe, macademia nuts as well. They didn't turn out that well this time as I cooked them for too long but that didn't stop me eating them! Not on fb so can't enter your DD. I did think of entering my DD but decided that we didn't have enough friends! In our local rag, there was a story about the DC who won it which mentioned that her gran and gran's friends had done a mail drop around all the local streets telling people about the DC and how to vote.

Blondes - I'm not sure your foot looks that appetising!

Blondeshavemorefun · 26/10/2010 20:28

my mb makes brownis with dark,milk and white chocolate - they are fab!!!

HecateQueenOfWitches · 27/10/2010 08:39

I post a lot Blush

bebebones · 27/10/2010 09:28

Welcome back Hecate!! [hsmile]

GettinGhoulish · 27/10/2010 10:44

It's going the right way Hecate, well done

I have a butternut squash sitting in my kitchen, can anyone post me a recipe for soup/curry?

I would like to do my Davina DVD at some point today, dh gone to the midlands to see relatives so no chance of going out for a run. Thinking of doing a 10K race at some point, there's one close to here just after christmas

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/10/2010 11:45

oic hecate - you can only have 50 threads in im on- thats happened to me before lol

gg - cut up bns, add to 2 litres of stock (chicken is nice ) add an inion and simmer till soft and puree -i often add a tiny bit of chilli to give it a bit of a kick

im having a week off this week, lost my mojo [hsad] and will start back again next week

GettinGhoulish · 27/10/2010 12:10

Thanks for recipe Blondes. I've had a few weeks off Smile Hoping for a loss next weigh in on monday.

bebebones · 27/10/2010 12:29

GG - Get you with all the running! Wink

Re BNS, I add red pepper & nutmeg & sometimes tin of tomatoes. Is very versatile! :o

Blondes - I have lost my mojo too, am a bit bored of soup & just want 'proper' food!

Have been to GP this morning. Turns out I have somehow buggered up my hip joint & he's given me some strong anti-inflammatories! Also got odd temperature sensations in same leg which is probably my MS :( If that gets worse I'll have to have steroids again :( :(

bebebones · 27/10/2010 12:30

Oooh, also planning on cooking some pumpkin after the weekend. Might try the pumpkin soup recipe on MN.

Blondeshavemorefun · 27/10/2010 12:41

bebe, you have done so well and lost all your weight - you should be so proud

ive still got 10 lbs to lose and prob a stone by fridays weigh in 'sighs'

hope anti flams work soon and that you dont need to go on extra ms tablets again :(
