Mornin all~~~~


Its quite still here, no rain or wind and its almost 'light' outside


But........it is Monday :-(

Good morning :-D


It's the same here Dea........spose we'd better get used to it for a while :-(



Lovely breakfast Sylvs - thank you <3


OH is having sleeping probs at the moment - he can't get comfy anywhere so he's trotting round trying out his bed, and all the chairs.......it reminds me of when the children were small and they got overtired. Funny thing is, he can get comfy in the day :-S


If all goes to plan we may wander into town and pick up his new specs. That should be fun............not! ;-)


Off to see if I am going to be side-tracked again ;-)

Good morning all :-)

Ground bones in creme brulee??? One assumes you are talking about gelatin etc? Not a clue and couldn't care.....it's just deee - li-- cious.



I think you realise why I ain't on here a lot at the mo......am slightly side-tracked elsewhere. Nice to come back somewhere normal though.......did I say normal?? :-S :-S


Just going for a browse on the other side - my light may be on but there is no-one home...... ;-) ;-) ;-)

Gins....don't you DARE eat all that creme brulee


.....charming :-P I might not be able to eat it, has it got ground bones in it :-0



Morning all~~~~~~~~

Good morning all :-)

Lovely breakfast - thank you Sylvs <3 and I am really looking forward to that delicious lunch !! :-D

I really don't think that my son's situation is any different from that of the majority of families at the moment but you do SO want things to run smoothly for your children - don't you?

There are many young people a lot worse off :-(

The trouble is that there are so few jobs available and so many people out of work that once you become unemployed there is little chance of getting back into the workplace.

This time of year makes things especially difficult for them as you cannot let the children miss out on Christmas can you?

Let's hope things start to change soon and more people can get back into work.

Good morning everyone - although it's a very wet and windy morning here :-D

Thank you for breakfast Sylvs.......I have to admit to scrolling right down the page to see if creme brulee was on today's menu............yup......smacks lips. :-D


Dea, I am so sorry about your son situation and I can well understand how worried you must be. I hope you get the opportunity to have a chat and, perhaps, give him some advice.


I don't like seeing the TV adverts for the firms who offer to solve everyone's debt problems. People can be very gullible when desperate and I think they can very easily be led up the proverbial swanee :-(


Much better to talk to the 'official' debt agencies or the CAB and get things on a proper footing that way. Sending you much love <3 <3 <3



Got a busy morning this morning as we are having a Confirmation service and it will be manic.......better get a grip on meself now!!


See you later.....and Gins....don't you DARE eat all that creme brulee....or.....or....I will sulk......BIG time ;-)

Lunch will be served at 1 pm

Dea


sorry to hear about your son ..........

................ it must be very worrying for you

I do hope that they have not had to go into debt. He must also be very worried about the situation.

<3 <3 <3

In just knew that Gins would be too sensible to use her mobile while driving ........... even though it sounded as though that was what she had done :-D

C


so glad to hear that your stall did so well, and won the "trophy"!


and that the "market" made so much money. That is indeed good for these times.

It was a beautiful day today ......... sunny and quite clear over to the mountains ........... which have snow on the tops.

It was not very warm though :-)


I went downtown to buy my Christmas present from OH (leather gloves), my present to him, and have a general look.

I had 4 cards from the store I usually use, each for $25 savings if I spent more than $100

.............. I managed to pick up enough things to spend more than $100 in 3 separate departments to use those cards ...............

and still spend over $100 .....................

............ so I got a new savings card from each of them to use during the next 4 weeks

so I still have 4 $25 savings cards!



and at that, I got most items on sale!
