Hi Sally W :) and thanks for the welcome! :o) Hazeleyes = yes I got an early tea = that was then overshadowed slightly by the appearance of the dreaded school report! hmmm = little checking up to do after the holidays methinks :oS x

Oh the dreaded school report. Is it the homework that is the bugbear?

Years ago, we found my Mum's old school report from when she was little. Mum was a rather prim and proper lady, by the way.The form teacher had written "J is very good at putting two and three-letter words together" I said "MOTHER, and now you have progressed to four letter words!"

Is there anything exciting going on in your area for the Jubilee, omg?

Lol Louise :o) it's herselfs birthday on Monday, so that's really going to be the focus of our weekend.  She's having her party at a friends house where noise wont be an issue though, so i think we'll be spending most of the weekend sorting the prep for that ... I shall be nailed to the oven baking and she'll be nailed to her laptop facebooking her mates! Theres a street party in the village, but she's not keen.  I might toddle up there at some point.  I do love bunting :o) Though I do have some irks about the amount of money thats being spent on the jubilee when the country's in such chaos. x

Yes, I know what you mean. But maybe that is the whole point: distracting people from their worries? (as if bunting makes a difference to the jobs market....oh yes a few more people working in bunting factories Undecided)

Hope your daughter will have a lovely birthday and that is great that there is a house she can make a lot of noise in. What will you be baking? (...disorderly queue forms outside omg's house)

Hey Anna! :o) Well she's already had her 'girly' present, whcih was a leather handbag she really wanted. But on her birthday - and this sounds like a really weird present, but we haven't got one, and she really wanted one - she's getting a barbecue! Complete with all the bits and pieces, forks and tongs, trays, charcoal bag things, and an apron! lol = might not sound very exciting = but it's a standing joke that she burns anything she puts near the cooker (I think its all just a ruse so I dont ask her to cook!) so I think she figures with a barbie she can get her mates round and just singe things in the garden! I'm a veggie, but she eats meat, so I think she has this idyllic idea about being able to lob dead things into flames and eat meat until she bursts! :o) Anyway = it'll give her and her friends something to do :o) Just hope we get at least one day without rain over the holiday! x

Oh that sounds a very original prezzie. She will love it. Weather forecast is mixed to say the least. You could also persuade her to cook a few veggie sausages and skewers Tongue Out We are having a bit of a street party here on Sunday and someone was talking about having octopus (yuk yuk)

Happy baking. You could have a cake stall in the garden!

Hi omg, the sun is shining here, albeit a bit cold out there though! 

I hope the barbie goes well and you have a hose pipe at the ready!! Remind her to let the flames go down before she starts cooking!

Have a good one.

LRH I hope the worming wasn't too stressful for you!! Surprised
