Well the dundee cakes didn't get done on account I forgot about soaking the fruit and nuts in booze overnight.  So to speed things up a bit I decided to put it in a pan and heat it gently, all was going well until I forgot about one of the pans and the fruit and stuff caught the bottom of the pan.  I rescued it quickly and tipped it into another pan and poured more booze over it, fingers crossed it will be OK.  So thats going to be Mondays job now lol!!

Himself isn't back yet, can't imagine where he's got to, may phone him in a minute just to see he's OK.

Dinner's on, but I seem to remember himself saying something about meeting number one son and his g/f if he was home in time, so it can be for tomorrow if needs be.

Just watched England loose the Rugby to Australia, happy days!  Well done Australia though they played well.

I know what you've been doing Yelir, I just had a look at your lovely cards on the Craft Thread,  you are so clever, wish I had the patience to make cards. 

How have your day's been?

Well yes Pat thats what I have been doing, cards for Xmas, still have the inserts to do!

I had them kinda all balanced on things to get them all in the one photo!

I hope you enjoy your day tomorrow.

Cathy good for you doing the walk, it sounds a lovely atmosphere there, and it has been nice with the sun today.

Just having a cup of tea and some chocolate to keep me going till chinese meal later on .

I keep getting a stabbing pain behind my ear it just comes and goes but it hurts!!!! 

How are all our patients today? Pleased to hear your OH is feeling a bit better, Clarrisa, LL, Pond, Sunshine hope these colds go away quickly and that wee Minty is getting better. 

Hoping everyone else is well.

Hi, folks

Lazy day again.  I really must get down to some housework next week.  I don't know what's happened to me this week, must be suffering from the change to the clocks still.

Going out to a party tonight, though. OH doesn't feel like going so I'm going with #1 Son and family.  #2 Son and family are going too, so it's a bit of a family affair.  It's Daughter-in-law's sister-in-law's  (I know, it's a bit convoluted) 40th birthday, so should be a good night. 

Hope it does me good and gives me some energy to get going. It's been ages since I had a night out.

Have a good evening/day, and good night's sleep, everyone .

Love & Hugs

HI ALL,

after a bit of a noisy start with the 2GD's it has been very quiet, apart from my neighbour knocking 7 bells out of our joint wall.  grrrrr. Why he cannot do it through the week I don't know as he is retired and is at home all day. He started it last Sunday and then is quiet through most of the week. He starts banging just as His-nibs goes for an afternoon nap!! Then starts again on Saturday and Sunday.

I will have to wait for my chance of revenge.!!

Going to sit and knit for the rest of the evening.

Have a good time at the party, Mini-mum. Ages since I had a night out.

Hello at last everyone!

Logged on this morning after a long lie (after feeding & letting Missy out before anyone calls the SSPCA) & Aunt phoned before I could post. Over an hour later, son came downstairs & just HAD to have laptop before driving lesson. Took Missy out for her walk & when back decided to go up to see parents before I lost my nerve. Son said he'd come with me which helped as I knew he would distract Dad & maybe I would escape the usual histrionics. Sister was there with her 4 year old so visit went well. When we got back my laptop mysteriously disappeared again - must do something about this.

Poor wee Missy stopped at side of woodland path for a _ _ _ let go her ball (can't multitask!) which then rolled down slope & then down steep drop toward river. Had to leave it, then further along where river is level with path, she went in for a paddle & suddenly took off down the river to look for her ball! My heart was in my mouth as it is flowing fast just now. She clambered up slope & I could see branches twitching as she moved through the trees, before coming charging back down the path. I put her on the lead before she could try again! Phew!!

Had to give up knitting last night as my left hand had gone numb. Only a wee bit to finish off now. Have looked at new posts on craft thread - your ted is gorgeaous Pat & your cards are lovely, Yelir - especially like the reindeer. And I love the kittie at the end of your posts, Yelir - might even scare Missy!

BB - I've met Yelir & she looks nothing like Ena Sharples!

Mini-mum - good to hear you are going out to party after all the worry you have had with OH - have fun!! Hope your OH improves Gizmo - love the wee doggy! Glad you enjoyed your walk, Cathy - I do miss the sea - what is Turkey & Tinsel? Pat, what a pain about your fruit but glad you could rescue it.

Hope everyone else has had a good day
