Happy Mothers Day everyone.


Housework all done.

Sitting waiting on No 2 son and girls popping round.

No 3 son will be home from work soon.

No 2 son and partner are coming for dinner so will be the usual 6 of us for dinner.

I just got the M&S meal so just a case of putting it all in the oven.

No 1 sons partner is going to do my hair before dinner.

so not a quiet day then :-D ;-) <3

Just had a horrible lunch !!!!! :-(

I bought what looked like a lovely piece of pork loin and decided that rather than roast it for lunch I would divide it into 'chops'.........

I marinaded it overnight in white wine, olive oil and lemon juice with lots of herbs and pepper etc. to tenderise it - then I had a 'feel' of it this morning and it didn't seem to be very tender so I bashed it with my little hammer thing, rubbed it in some pimenton and cooked it nicely, made a gorgeous creamy sauce, left it to rest and then served.....................

It was 'as tough as old boots' !!! :-( :-( :-( :-( :-(

We ate our veg and dipped some bread in the lovely sauce and gave up :-(

I saved the day by taking the last of my lovely 'special' mince pies out of the freezer and serving them with custard................. We are now 'replete' ;-) :-D :-D

Oh dear Dea....what a shame........you should have raided the kitchen for more of Sylv's breakfast..... :-D


I am cream crackered! Didn't sit down until about 3.....and, to top it all, we have a blocked drain.................lovely! :-(


Just going to relax for a bit before the tribe come over later........

Dea

You should have a quorn roast ;-)

Dea,

What a waste. Take it back to where you got it and complain c

My M&S meal deal was lovely I got the roast beef and got the turkey joint as there were 6 of us and the meal is meant for 4.

Only got about 3 slices of the beef left :-)

Off to watch the last episode of The Musketeers.

Mornin all~~~~~~~~~


Kettle is on.............

Morning all.....and thanks for putting the kettle on Gins.... :-D

Can't say that I really fancy a quorn roast......... :-S

I'll rustle up some bacon barmcakes for our Dea and add some mushrooms and tomatoes.

Just waiting for Dyno-rod to call and sort out our blocked drain....meantime I will tidy round and start the ironing I think.

Still recovering from my hectic day...................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Good morning all :-)

Thank you for the cuppa Ginns and those bacon barmcakes were delicious Cynthia <3

I have to spend the day cuttting up old tights to make nests to fill with chicks for the grandchildrens Easter Bonnets for school. Then I have to see if I can remember how to make crepe paper daffodils...............

We are making the bonnets after school so I have to have everything prepared. :-0

Just had the news that a former student (who became a friend) of mine passed away last night. RIP Nick

In the last 7 months I have lost dear ones

My brother, sister and two friends

:-( :-( :-( :-(

OOhh Ginns - what very sad news..................

He can't have been particularly old then ?

Am sending you a pm.

Dea Xxx

Thanks for the PM Dea


I have just spoke to the blind company who I need to come and re-fit the roman blinds around the house

I have self holding blinds, you pull the cord and they stay in place. He has told me I must have cleat hooks added, even though I don't need them, H&S law

I understand this is for H&S reasons and protecting young children, I don't have young children and the only way anyone is going to be strangled is if we wrap the cord around each others necks!

Hey Ho..........................

Whew! Sorry about the rush this morning.........stupid internet/laptop - don't know which, was playing up and kept freezing. :-(


Had a wander into Bolton today...not been for ages and it was interesting to see how some things have changed.

Having a 'screed'? put on my kitchen floor tomorrow so have been busy cleaning out underneath the units........dear oh dear......hangs head in shame......at least it is all nice and fresh now. :-D


Sorry about your friend Gins.....it's always sad when a friend dies....... :-(


Going for a gentle browse........before I make the meal.....xx

Cyns....how old is your router?

That might be the problem?
