mo she put mince in it

the pie needed 5 more minets in the oven had all of 3 roast spuds and tin veggy

daughter is one hell of a good kid but not much of a cook i told her to stick to frozen chips and chicken nuggets lol

i think GR thinks im going blind
seem all most every time i click on to read post it comes up in extra large text

We all had to start at sometime Shelly,bless her at least she tried. Give her a few more lessons with something else. She can't exist on chicken nuggets and chips forevermore.
Has she tried doing a stir fry,you cant go far wrong with that. Apart from burning it maybe.
Rita,we mums do things wether we want to or not at times,it seems an automatic thing. I have always been the one to do the cleaning,whenever
my kids have moved. And that can be a bit tiring when all five decide to move one after the other.
I think I take after my mum for that,she bought me up to do these things,and now I do them automatically.

Evening All,

I have been entertained tonight had a funny meal ...not quite Curry but more a Chicken casserole with spices in it & rice. lovely but unusual ..LOL

Now I'm off the my pit as I'm so tired .

So until tomorrow night night all. xxx

Good morning all.
(**)? (**)? (**)? (**)? {^^}/ {^^}/ {^^}/ [_] [_]
My turn to make the drinks this morning,as I seem to be the early bird today.
It's beautiful morning here in Kent.
The washing is on,and will soon be ready for the line.
Got to go shopping this morning,that's when Roly gets up out off his pit.
Then down to our sons to do a bit more.
Off to get some breakfast now. Speak to you all tonight.

morn all you lovely girls lol
I am here bu not shouting I seem to have got hold of a sore throat now and a cough dont how I have no idea.
One day I will sign on and say Hi Girls I am so well today.
anyway to get back to normality .I have to say Shelly at least she tried we all have to start somewhere in the cooking aera. all three of my children learned to cook two boys and girl and they are excellent at it now. but I have had some bad meals from them. my husband John and I thought they should all learn to cook and lean to do the washing and Ironing by that I dont mean we wroked them while I sat back and did nothing. we had then do little jobs now and again.while we were there to help. them the only thing was I didnt let them get away with clearing their books and toys away after they had used them or after we had meals they took it in turn to help with the washing up one would dry the dishes the oher put them away so they earned their pocket money even if it was only 2/6 a week at the time.
Marilyn you sound as though you enjoyed your meal if i have curry I am on the loo for ages.that is why I stick to other foods not curries or spice dishes.
my kids love curries and spicy foods.
Mo take knee pads with you . and think of all that weight you will lose doing all these job.
have a nice day everyone.

Rita

Morning all.

It's a bit dull today but seems warm, so I'll be able to get some work done in the garden later.

Rita, we all had to do jobs at home when we were young, we only got 2 shillings pocket money but we earned it. I think it's good that parents do that because it makes their children able to look after themselves and their homes when they grown up. Mind you, I didn't feel that way at the time, I just wanted to go out and play all the time - not do jobs in the house.

It did me good thought because I was still in my teens the first time I got married and I was able to cook meals and keep my home clean, as well as work full-time.

Mo, I always seem to get the cleaning jobs when someone in the family gets a new home. My niece is always moving house and I'm always there - on my knees with my rubber gloves on. I bet you were smirking to yourself when your son's girlfriend was cleaning the loo.

Shelly I had that problem with the large text the other day, it was only happening on one thread though.

Is your daughter practicing her cooking so she can look after you when you get old?

Marilyn, my sister does meals like that, sort of a spicy casserole with rice, it's because she doesn't like curry. I prefer a proper curry, I love spicy food, I make mine medium hot.

Wonder if Linda has the bikini on yet!

Morning All,

Lovely again today.

Got grand daughter AGAIN. today ....I think she wants to live with me ...

Mo.... pity you are working in this lovely weather.......cant you tell your son you'll give it a miss today.

Pauline you must have been rich ! I never ever got any pocket money and we had to do our bedrooms once a week, funny though as my twin sister and I slept in one half of the bedroom my other sister slept in the other half.
and she would not clean our side ever ,she would put a piece of string to divide her half and ONLY clean her bit !!!

So what are we all up to today ?

Thanks for the tea Mo.....

moring all just cleand me lappy think iv got some think stuck under me L key want press down proley now will have to tip it up side down and shake it

just got some things to do and then will pop back in a bite

Shelly..... HOVER IT You will be amazed what comes up ..LOL

Shelley
I turn my upside down and gentley tap and you shopu;d see the dust that cmes out of it .I have little computer hoover it is very small and sund on a battery it had two different brushes . but I am often too lazy to get that out so turn the machine up.
Marilyn I could not look at the email photos as it came and I click it to open then it came up with offline and I dont have that. but thanks al;l the same.
I was glad my children had leanred to cook and do their washing as towards the late 60 early 70 we use to get a call and have to rush to Camborne in Cornwall to get to the hospital at Tingel as my father in law kept having really bad turns and they let us know when he was at deaths door. so we had to let the children stay home my daughter was 15 and my eldest son 13 John was the youngest. but they did very well I phoned them everynight and my parents only lived ten minutes away so they needed to look after themsleves..
My daughter is a far better cook than I am now,..

I have just received my voting papers in first tme I asked for voting from home as sometimes I feel it hard to walk across to the polling station. this year is a bit of a problem as the local councillor is the MP candidate and I want to vote for her. but the guy who has taken her place I dont know much about.so I will have to check him out on the computer

I have just had a laugh I had a box full of picture frames in a box in my wardrobe been there since I moved down from Norfolk in 2002 so I took five over to the charity shop last week and told them I have another 24 but need to ask the children if they want them first.they were all covered in Form for pretetion and sealed. MY friend came to me and said she had just brought two picture frames new from the charity shop and she showed me I said I gave them to them she said all five had been sold she had brought two. 75 pence each.

Rita.

Rita I'll send the pictures Marilyn sent so you can try again. They are beautiful, it's worth another try.

Pauline according to that I am left. what a laugh.
I have voted already I had my papers in this morning I know what I want I have made my choice..
I recall in the 60 seeing cars with a strip in their rear window which said

"If your not satisfied " you put them in now get them out " you use to see lots of strips in those days you dont see them so much now.

I have been on the telephone speaking to my son in law he had his third lot of chemo Friday and he said he didnt feel as bad as he did on the last two he even managed to eat . so I was so pleased to hear that bless him.

He said if you need me you know where to get intouch. and that is one sick man yet he can still think of others.


Rita

I decided to have some retail therapy this morning so went shopping at The Mall, Cribbs Causeway. As per usual I only stayed in the one shop & spent more than I had intended but that is the first time since Christmas.

Lady you had better show some of us your secrete of shopping. it seems ages since you were on here are you busy or what ?
nice to know you are still around./

Rita

I try to pop in mid week & again on a weekend day but it doesn't always happen.

Hi girls.
Rita,I did not need the knee pads today,thank goodness. I did do the hoovering for them,as they had worked so hard,and had finished the whole off the upstairs decorating,including the wallpaper hanging.
I think that most off us had to do chores,for our pocket money ,years ago
we learn't the value off money,and that it did not come easy. I am afraid it is not like that these days.
Parents seem to give and give,for an easy life.
It happens in my family at times,and I get quite cross about it.
Pauline,today would have been the best day for Linda to wear her bikini.
Did you manage to get some off your gardening done. If it was anything like it was here today,it would have warmed up,up your way.
Marilyn,I see that you are thinking about arranging a meet down your way.
Don't forget to keep us all updated on it,as I would love to be able to come.
Hi lady ,good to hear from you. I hope you didn't buy the whole shop up.
Where has Shelly got to,and Yvonne.
