Find Ancestors

Yes Ginns - the first thing I did was a couple of toasted cheese and onion sandwiches. They worked well and didn't leak at all and they were delicious !!.

However, I usually griddle mine and butter both sides of the bread and I didn't butter the outside when I put them in the bags and I did sort of miss that rich buttery flavour.

I am told that you can still butter the outside and put them in there but I would think that would be a bit messy and difficult to slide them into the bags ?? I will have to try it.. They are very good for teacakes and I should think crumpets and things like scones.

The ones I have are just cheap ones from the supermarket but now I have found that I will use them I think I will probably buy some better ones from Lakeland.

You do need a toaster with wide slots though, which I have.

It's the butter that makes them so yummy!

I have been up since 7.30 am

We had fun O fell out of bed luckily I had place a pile of pillows on the floor "just in case"

Little voice says "gran" "O"? Then little face appears over the edge as she climbs back in.

We settle down then I get a slap in the face later a kick in the stomach

Then Dumbo falls out of bed little voice says "gran Dumbo not giving me cuddles he's rolled out of bed" she dives to get him I catch her leg she rescues Dumbo and we all settle down again.

She wasn't too bad just kept moving about at one point I woke up not knowing why.

She had reached for my hand and was holding it in her sleep. Aww shucks.

Daddy picked them up about an hour ago.

Grampa gone to watch footie and I feel a nap coming on ;-)

Gins bet you are please that you are finished with the dentist :-)

OOOOooohhh - my little poorly finger is SO sore !!

I decided to cut the dressing down to just above the first bend above the knuckle so I could do some bending exercises to try to get it a bit mobile again - oOOOerr !! - BUT it IS a little more bendy than it was !! and all the skin that I have now exposed is looking a lot less 'peeled'

3 - 4 months 'under cover' is a very long time !!

Linds - I am just so glad that we have beds for them all - I would hate to have to share ! - they both wriggle and kick so much !!!

I remember a couple of years ago when grand-daughter was here and she came into our rom early in the morning and was standing there stroking my hubby's arm and he shot up in alarm as he didn't know what was happening............. :-D :-D :-D

Dea Xxx

Good morning all :-)

Hope you slept a little better last night Linds <3

Anyone for cheese and onion tartlets fresh from the oven and hot sliced home baked ham..............

Dea Xxx

Hello everyone,

Dea I will have some of those lovely tartlets and ham for lunch thank you yummy!

I have added a nice mixed salad and some lovely crusty bread also some key lime pie for afters.

Once No 1 son moves out I will have a spare room for the girls. they might have to fight me for it though as I could use it as a study ;-)

Your poor finger will be glad to see daylight hope it gets bendy again <3

Oh I meant to say I discovered those toasty bags a while ago. OH also threw them out :-)

Sorry, I thought I'd posted that we went to Wales for the weekend

Just got back and am still full from a lovey lunch out with the family :-)

Dea has the doc told you to try and stretch your finger? Seems like a good idea to me but then Im not a doc

No Ginns - they didn't tell me to do that but I know that I need to !!!

It is getting more and more 'bendy' but more and more 'painful' at the same time !!

I DO know that I need to do it !!!!!!!!!!

Dea Xxx

Keep bending Dea but don't over do it :-)

Gins old age catching up with you ;-)

Hope you had a lovely weekend <3

I have found a knitting group on the dark side (I can hear you Gins) they are all lovely.

Some of the stuff they have knitted is beautiful.

I have been searching for a garter stitch cardigan pattern for the girls.

I posted and within 30 minutes had been given a link to a site.

I went to it and have ordered two patterns from it.

Dea you need to have a look at it.

I got hints on where to save money on yarn and buttons.

MIL was much the same today she has been moved into a room on her own as she was being disruptive :-)

Off to make dinner x

(I can hear you Gins)
