Hi all

there's white stuff outside

BTW....had a great day today at College.........it's good that I have decided to balance work........with LIFE!

I have been so stressed this summer, what with work and life.....I enjoyed teaching today, the first time in a long time!

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

I still have the tree lights from mom and dad...they still work. I light them up every Christmas, don't leave them on though

I have had real problems trying to post on here or to send any PM's for the past hour.

This site is going down the tubes fast :-(

Oh I never thought of "that" Henry :-)

My son was going to put out outdoor lights up at the weekend BUT my OH cannot find them :-S

We bought new ones last year and he threw the old ones out. I am positive that when he cleared the garage out in the summer he also threw out a set of lights (thinking they were the old ones)

Of course he denies doing so. He has agreed that we should just buy another set though otherwise it will be Christmas before they are up

Now all we have to do is hope that there are still some left in the shops.

Can you guess what today's job is ?

;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

O.K. 0 the teacakes have 'gone down' now ;-) :-D

Porridge is bubbling away and I have started on the bacon, eggs, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes and fried bread - ready in 5 minutes...

There are plenty of fresh fruits and yoghurts etc.

Please help yourselves.

Good morning all :-D

Much as I like teacakes I think I will wait for some bacon please Dea. Thanks :-D


Just trying to sort out waiting in for a parcel......it's good that some firms send you an email to give the estimated time but now it's a case of making sure I am in!!


Back later~~~

OOOhhh Yuummmm - toasted teacakes with 'oodles' of butter :-D

Thank you Ginns <3 :-D

I have had 3 now and am far too full for anything else so I will have to cook the bacon later.;-) :-D

I'd love a dog but we'll have to settle for Henry at the moment!

Mornin all~~~~~

Kettle is on, toasted tea cakes under the grill

Soon be Christmas and we can have some nuts, some dates, some tangerines, some chestnuts, some parsnips, some sprouts, some roast tatties, some roast turkey (Quorn Chik'n cutlets available for vegetarians), some stuffing and some cranberry sauce

Linds, I think you will find that Henry is circular, coloured red and cleans carpets!!


Glad you had a good time and that all went well for the party.


Must check that recipe for Yorkies....I love them - any size any shape!

I've finally managed to type out my Christmas message and hope it keeps my friends amused for a while..... now I have to get the cards written. sigh. I've cut down on my list because the postage is so high.


A busy morning but a nice quiet afternoon. :-D

Probably 4 little wheels I should think ???

AND a little bowler hat ??

Gins does Henry have 4 legs by any chance?

Whew caught up at least on here just got to clear my emails now :-)

We enjoyed Berlin it was about 3c most days except on Tuesday when it went down to 1c it was a nice crisp cold though :-)

the markets were lovely but very expensive but we enjoyed the gluhwein and brotwurst ;-)

I loved the Ka De We store especially the 6th floor - filled with lots of different brands/types of chocolate and tea, coffee, wine and champagne bars :-D

Heaven :-)

We also visited checkpoint Charlie and the museum and got our photo taken with the "guards"

We visited the Brandenberg gate and the Berlin wall.

There is a 300 metre section still standing which has been decorated by graffiti artists and is now the longest open air gallery in the world.

The palace at Charlottenburg was lovely.

The site of the Jewish memorial which consists of some 2700 slabs of granite was moving to say the least.

We had a busy few days got home about 4pm on Wednesday did the food shop on Thursday and I baked O's birthday cake that night.

On Friday we had the girls for the day and on Saturday I decorated the cake and baked some biscuits then we went to the party.

She wanted a "fairy" cake which I had never done before but I was really pleased with how it turned out.

Her little face was a picture when she saw it and I got a huge cuddle and kiss then she came back and gave me another one and said "Mummy can I have a bit of my cake now"

I think she liked it :-D :-D

today her parents took her to the cinema and out for a meal so we had the little one for the day. They are both full of the cold wee souls.

Now I will have to catch up with the housework tomorrow and then start the Christmas shopping!

Thanks Linds...re my EV

Need to sort the drip out...we have event talked about moving to somewhere smaller, now the kids have left

........but I love our home
