Just had some mince, onion and gravy over a few small baked spuds.

Took my lad his roast chicken and baked spuds, had cooked some whole medium carrots as well.

Had a nice bap with beef & ham in with mustard on this afternoon.

Then had a pack of shrimps, eaten just with a fork.

just had a small tin of sardines and 2 Aero finesse mousse with crunchy twirls.

Just watched BB live, now watching my recording of The Apprentice.

Evening.

Another nice day here, but it's been raining this evening.

I knew you hadn't watched The Apprentice yet Hicky, that's why I didn't say who'd gone. Although I did give the gender away, I suppose?

You've been eating a lot today? No change there then.

Hi Frodo.

The grass has slowed down a bit as it's been so dry here. But if we get a bit of rain it'll shoot up again.

I still think Sallie will go on Friday unfortunately.

But I hope it's Gina

I think Dan is my second favourite - after Sallie.

I've found out that Sallie is a friend of Chanelle's They've worked together anyway.

Afternoon all 

raining here again but the sun Is doing a good job trying to break through,we have a few glorious days then a week of chucking It down ..had a sleepless night with you know you ,little #'/.,/er ,the lady who Is having him wants him a week earlier ..but I'm not convinced Its good to take him before he's eight weeks and I'n not going to be persuaded just because she has a week free ,he'll go when hes ready and not before even though I'm shattered.

Your garden sounds wonderful Hicky there's nothing like home grown fruit and veg  do you freeze if you have a glut or give It to your family ?

I hope your son's move Is going ok does he live far from you ?.I think my son must have had a guilt complex as he bought more fruit in ,cherries are one of my favourite fruits

I hope you are feeling better Mollie and that your ribs are easing ,quite a while since I posted so missed out on a lot of conversations,do you have to go back for checkups and If so does the Consultant tell you to ease up  you should you know  .Have you got your stack of goodies ready for tonight ?

Mollie I really wanted Sallie to stay ,but she has been so spiteful I'm dithering ,between them  if I was pushed I'm afraid I'd route for Gina because I think Sallie saps the energy out of the place.

How Is your little dog you haven't mentioned he/she lately or have I missed that ,I can't believe the puppy Is five weeks old to-day Mollie I don't know how I'm going to part with him ..but three dogs in the house I couldn't cope 

you'll understand he knows my voice ,snuggles up to me I love him to bits 

Hello emptybox , I hope the weather Is better UP your way than It Is here ,

the sun was trying but Its cooler now ,I know you would prefer Sallie to stay 

and Its a close call exciting innit ,whats for tea to-day anything good ?

think I may break the bank and make a Yorkshire pudding with some thick onion gravy ,this didn't start off as a diet I just got this knot in my stomach and couldn't eat and then It turned into a diet somehow .

Any news of what Aiseleyne Is doing ?missing out on loads not been on my twitter page for yonks ,must go on there and update .

must go and do some work sees you all laterxxxxxxxxxxx

Afternoon Everyone.

Been loading the car and taking stuff to the recycle yard.

Was going to strip my lads 2 sheds we bought him years ago, but they are best left, we've bought him 2 more.

1 is for toys the other for gardening stuff.

I had the little one, he loved being in my car.

I knew who went on the Apprentice Emptybox as it was on the breakfast show but it doesn't effect my enjoyment any.

The odds have swung right around, it was Gina to go in the betting but now it's Sally.

I like Dan as well, nice to see a few brains.

Yabba Dappa Doo Frodo.

It's been glorious here all day.

I made some chutney last year with the tomato's that were left over, still got it.

Never had too much really, give most away i suppose.

I'de like to give some fruit to my neighbour who gives me loads of eggs.

Now you mention food, i must eat this big Lasagne before the date runs out.

Will be giving the plants a foliar feed tonight, when sun drops.

Got 5 gallon of compost tea made ready, bubbling away.

5 hours of BB tonight, exciting.

Hello Hicky 

have you a link or recipe for compost tea,sounds very interesting

Yes very exciting for to-night can't wait  

speak later x

Hope you are all well and having a good Friday.

Quick hi from me, been busy helping mum and my own jobs and keeping up with watching BB. Really enjoying this series.

Haven't had chance to read back yet, but for all 3 of you.

Daughter and I get a night off the family cooking and we are all off in a mo to the pub for dinner. Never been here before, but it is supposed to be haunted, so will let you know if I bump into a ghost.

Here it is...

http://www.princekenfig.co.uk/history/

Wonder who will go on BB?    shame either of them have to, as they are certainly not quiet boring characters.

Gone off Dan, think he is coming over as a know it all, and was not nice to Dexter last night.But I don't mind the others.

...must go,as we have table booked,

hope you all have a great evening and enjoy BB.

Hi guys.

A little rain overnight here but it's been dry all day with a little sunshine.

Got plenty done, including quite a few hedges.

Hi Mollie. Enjoy your pub meal.

I like Dan. I don't think he was too bad on Dexter? After all Dexter had said that Dan was bitchy. Don't really like Dexter anyway.

Hi Frodo.. I think you're right about the pup. 8 weeks is about right for him to go to a new home.

Funny you should ask about Aisleyne. She is doing a 5k run for charity tomorrow. (Race for Life). She and Bianca Gascoigne are going to dress up as brides, alongside a team from Now magazine.

She's been on holiday a lot in the past few weks. Twice to Dubai and once to Marbella.

Think she's got a part in another film as well. As well has having a production role in the movie they are making based on her book. So it's all go really.

Hi Hicky.

Enjoy your compost tea.

Yes I think Sallie will go. She's been too big a character in the first week. If only she could have held herself back a bit.

Mollie 

this Is for you some much needed advice,when the puppy was a couple of weeks old my son promised him to someone on the road where we live,two weeks ago perhaps more they passed and I knocked on the window and beckoned them in to look at him .but they simply walked past ,so I thought they weren't interested in their favour they have a lovely old dog called Ruby...to-night they came round and asked to see him and I have been in tears ,I simply cant go back on my word to this woman now who has toys etc for him ..and she is a friend of my daughter .do you think I'm wrong in wanting to hear from this person either by phone or person my daughter seems affronted that I should question her ...you are an animal lover please what do you think .....I have told her I need to hear and speak to this lady or hes not going anywhere ..what do you think Mollie I've been in tears to-night

oh sheesh Mollie has gone out ,emptybox you love animals can you give me a word or two on whats right .

YES I agree gone right off Dan a pain in the backside

Evening All.

Hi Frodo.

I'll find a link to compost tea, mind you there are lots of recipes, in some you need an air pump to aerate the water in others you just stir it as often as possible.

See this video

http://www.treehugger.com/lawn...-why-you-should.html

or here/

http://compostteamaking.com/

Hi Mollie.

That looks a nice place to dine Mollie, hope you have a great time.

Hi Emptybox.

We've had no rain, a good day really.

I like Dan as well, he has then all sussed.

Suns still out here so i may have to wait till the morning to spray the compost tea, can't do it if the leaves are hot.

The odds have reversed now, Sally seems to have the money on to go.

Aisleyne seems to be doing ok, good, nice girl.

Pops in and steals Fred Flintstone pic for BB forum

I was looking for Rodger to say Hi.

Aaaww Fredo

so sorry to hear you have been in tears about this. But I can understand why, I would be just the same, you have put so much into this puppy that you need to feel real sure about his future.

If it was me, yes I would question and question, and make sure I was happy where pup went to before agreeing to give him to anyone.

It is your decision and it has to be right for you and what you think best for pup, I think.  And I think if you might feel upset about where he goes, it is not the right place.

If you need to use a bit of delay tactics, tell them you might keep him yourself.

will post this now so you get it ASAP, and add more as I think about it...

Flippen heck....selfish woman...this is not good, and I certainly agree with you that it is not good to let pup go before 8 weeks,  So I'd tell this woman firmly to get lost. Some say  10 to 12 weeks is fine, We were told it was best to get ours at 12 weeks, so we did, and she was fine, but we visited her with her mother before that age.

I think any prospective owner who pushes to take a pup from it's mother before 8 weeks (and you who have bought it up) does NOT have that pup's interest at heart, because it is too young. I have heard t is really bad for the pup's well being , and the mum's.

So in this case your doubts are very well founded.

Good luck with it all.

Awww Mollie  thankyou

I rang my daughter and we had words ...the lady Is coming to-morrow

I simply can't let him go to anyone ..I have bathed his mum ands they have been cuddled up to-gether,by the way his dad is loved as well ,but she wont let him near the pup

thanks Mollie you have put my mind at rest for a while ..perhaps people may think I'm overdoing this but my animals are part of the family xx

all

Hicky

really looking forward to seeing your garden pics, sounds like it is all coming on really well.   Is this your other lad moving now, or is it the same one who moved about a year ago, the one you did the decking for? I bet you enjoyed looking after the little fella for them. He looks such a cutie.

Emptybox

well I reckon you deserve to give yourself a bit of a break this weekend as you have been so busy lately.   But I guess when the weather is agreeable you have to beaver away, incase it goes wet again. (gosh I hope not though, we had enough rain last summer).

Fredo

I am with you, gone off Sallie, as she has been rather mean lately, and I quite like Gina.

But shame it is 2 big characters up, instead of the quieter ones. I guess it is early days though, and we still have loads to learn about them all, as week 1 has spent a lot of time with Michael's storyline, which has at least got them all wondering in there.

I agree Emptybox, such a shame who went on the Apprentice, he was a nice guy and funny at times too, but as it is a tv show, nice guys are not kept in. I also liked Rebecca, but she was too nice to last too imo.

Didn't my local guy Alex do well?   What a character he is, he has some good ideas, and loves to present them in a mad humourous way.

Freddo...hope you can relax and enjoy BB tonight, and try not to get upset over pup.... be firm, and happy with your decision whatever you decide, it is your right to only send pup to where you want to send him.

I thought I liked Dan at first, but to me he is increasingly annoying.... just saw the start of the show, and there was  Dan bitching about Dexter yet again, and then  going off on one at Jamima, shouting "answer the question"...he must think he is still in the police talking to her like that.  

No one else annoying me though, and it is a good series so far I think.

Wish I had more time to watch livefeed though.

Have a good evenings viewing all. xxx  

We posted together, so did you see my other post about the age of the puppy, the one above this one of yours? 

sorry you had to have words with your daughter,...mother/daughter relationships, this often happens, as I know.  But as this is important to you, and it is you who looked after pup, it has to be you who is happy with arrangements.

Aaww at pup cuddling up with his mum, no way is this little thing ready to leave his mum yet.

at wise mum dog keeping dad well away from the baby.

I agree when you have pets, they are part of the family, you are not overdoing this, it is important to you and pup.

good luck tomorrow with the lady. Be firm and make sure before you firmly agree to anything, you are in charge.

Edit...just checked and we got our puppy at 9 weeks, Daughter reminded me, it is only usually very small dogs that stay until 12 weeks. But daughter read up on it and it says you should not let them go before 8 weeks.

night all

Sallie didn't do herself any favours in the interview..I thought Michael

 was brilliant to-night for a change 

see you to-morrow xx

Evening Everyone.

Good night on BB.

Thought Sally would go as the betting was sliding.

I was getting confused with the reply with quotes, found them hard to follow who was saying what.

Glad Michael is out, a disaster that was.

Yes Mollie, the same lad that  i did all the decking for, of course we are leaving the decking and a ll the play area's covered in blue rubber chunks for safety.

I believe i have some more trips to make to the recycle plant tomorrow again.

Sprayed all the plants with compost tea tonight, will feed the tubs with it tomorrow morning.

Aw. Pity Sallie went, but it was inevitable really.

I thought she did well at her own interview, but should have shut up during Michael's one. But I think she was just trying to get her head round the situation.

I think she's a nice girl really.

Yes Frodo, you'll have to think long and hard about who get's the pup. Luckily he's much too young yet, so you've got a couple of weeks to make your decision. I would go with whoever you think will give it the best home. Sorry if that's too obvious an answer.

I suppose it depends also on who technically owns him?

Don't have to work tomorrow Mollie. It's been so dry here that the grass is growing slowly, so I can afford a weekend off. Probably work in my own garden though.

Enjoy your trip to the recycle place Hicky.

Very satisfactory throwing stuff into the bins.

Hicky

hope the plants come on well now you have sprayed them, and the weather stays dry so you can get the tubs done too. 

Hope the move goes well for your lad. What a shame he has to move so soon after doing the garden, but hopefully the next tenants will make good use of it. Is he moving area/going to bigger place/buying now instead of renting/or did LL need house back?  We would still like to buy a place, but not easy to find one we can afford with prices still so high, but some have come down in price lately, so we will start to look now spring is over.

Yes the quote bit is not too clear here, but I used it because Fredo was worried about the pup and I wanted her to see I had replied to her post. 

Yes no surprise Sallie went, as she was getting rather unpleasant in the end, and it is a vote to evict. Does this mean we will be left with all the quiet HM's for the final?

Am trying to stay awake to see a bit of livefeed as I have been too busy to see  much of it this series.

Goodnight all xxx

Emptybox

Glad to hear you can take a weekend off work now.

Yes I agree Sallie was ok in her own interview, but annoying in Michael's interview.

You are right, it is very satisfactory throwing things into bins at the tip. 

Good morning all

Going out soon to town and to see Sherlock Holmes with the family at the theatre, so thought I would post whilst have the chance.

Fredo

I was thinking about when we got our dog, the lady we bought it off adored her dogs, so used to check out all prospective owners, and get to know them and all their family, before she let them have a pup. She expected us to go and visit her before the pups were even born, and then when born, visit the pups several times, and questioned us and our home life, before she agreed to let us have one of her pups.  She told me she had turned some people away, so you are quite right to question future owners. The lady we bought her off also never let her dogs go until at least 9 weeks old, and she made anyone (including us) who had a dog off her, sign a contract that if we could not keep the dog for any reason, at any time, we would return it to her and she would give a full refund. She said that on occasions this had happened as the puppies grew and people got sick of them and didn't want them any more, by using this method at least she got the dog back, and so still kept control over where the dog was homed. She also got the dogs checked and vaccinated by a vet before we had her. (but of course you have to charge if you do this for prospective owners). Hope you can sort things ok today and will feel happy about your decision.

Took doggie a walk this morning on seafront and it was extremely windy, so it is back to the warm cardie again today, but at least it was dry.

Hicky...Hope you get done what you want in the garden.

Emptybox ...hope you enjoy your weekend off work, at least if it is only your own garden you can take your time.

Looking forward to BB and the Voice tonight.

Have a good day all xxx

Afternoon.

Enjoy your play Mollie.

Not quite as warm here either, with a bit of a cool breeze, but still sunny.

Hardly got any sleep last night because it was so stuffy, plus I have starlings (think they're starlings?) nesting under the roof slates next to my bedroom, and they make a racket 24/7.

Usually I can get to sleep regardless, but last night I couldn't for some reason, even after I had opened the window a crack.

I don't want to open the window wide because these blasted starlings are flying around even in the darkness, and of course it's getting light by 3am anyway.

I think they get in under the guttering, and have been nesting there for years.

Don't think you're allowed to do anything while they're nesting anyway.

As I say, they don't usually bother me too much, but last night they did.

Here's a photo of Aisleyne, Bianca and Nikki Grahame on the start line of the Finsbury Park 5k Race For Life, in the Now mag 'Race For Wife' team.

https://twitter.com/dipeshdhim...602810884096/photo/1

I bet Nikki regrets that long dress by the end?

If you can't identify Aisleyne from her legs (long years of practise ), then she's the one turned chatting to Bianca.

Evening Everyone.

Fed the plants this morning, then made brekkie for me and my lad, we then loaded the cars up to go to the recycle place.

Ha d a double bed mattress on the roof-rack with a BBQ in the back.

Hi Mollie,

My lad needs more room now, with having young Sidd now they need more space, also the old place although they have the decking and play area's they are overlooked by tree's which attract big birds, he has tried to reduce some of the overhanging tree branches but the tree's are so big and are in a public area.

This new place has 2 bathrooms, 2 toilets and a nice grassed area and a flagged patio.

It has more rooms and they are bigger, it's a detached house the same but it's in a Cul-de-sac,

He's only renting it though.

Enjoy Sherlock Holmes, I like Watson.

Hi Emptybox.

Thats a blow having Starlings for company,

I've stopped feeding the birds for the summer, the noise was terrific and Starlings fight terrible, not sure if they have a hierarchy but they are so bossy.

I think the young are all grown on now, these were bigger than their parents.

I think all the birds have flown off now.

It's been warm today so lots of growth on the tree's / plants.

Good evening all

Hicky

Yes I can quite understand now why your lad needs more room in his home with a growing family, and the 2 bathrooms/toilets certainly become more important in a large family, don't know how we would manage without ours now. Glad he has found somewhere in a cul-de-sac. That will be nice for the kiddies.

You were certainly loaded up for the recycle place, good job you had brekkie beforehand to see you on your way. Yes a good bit of warmth will certainly make things grow in your garden.

Emptybox

sorry to hear you missed out on your sleep last night, good job you had decided you didn't have to make today a work day. Those nesting birds can be so noisy, we had swallows in our last house, but they weren't as noisy as starlings can be. Could you try putting some quiet music on the radio to try and not make you hear the noise so much? I always do that at night. Or some earplugs? Hope you sleep better tonight. Maybe it will be a bit cooler for you tonight too? It is cooler today here, very windy.

Sherlock Homes was really good.Great scenery.

I kept expecting BB Detective Dan to jump out from behind the scenes and say "Only I know who did it, you are all actors !"...

Am watching the Voice now and then looking forward to BB. What a good first week it has been. Hope they have some good tasks lined up for our entertainment now.

Have a good evening all.xxx

hope things going ok for Fredo and puppy.

Evening Mollie.

Here's the latest video from Praxxus55712 he's brill.

You should Subscribe, just under the video, they only need an email address and you will get a weekly update.

He's on Facebook as well, also he has another video channel for his indoor plants, of which he has many.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...ature=em-subs_digest

Hi HIcky

what a good idea, thanks for that link,   I will go and watch it and subscribe to it, to get the weekly update .

Did you enjoy BB tonight?

I find Saturdays not the best for BB because we see mostly what happened last night, but still parts of it were good.

Emptybox

thanks for the photo, gosh trust daft Nikki to wear a long dress, but as you say, she will regret wearing that I should imagine if she is doing a run.

Did you all enjoy the Voice? I thought it was a good show tonight.

Goodnight all xxx

Hi Mollie. Glad you enjoyed Sherlock Holmes.

It's cooler tonight here as well, so I should hopefully get more sleep.

Hi Hicky. Hope your lad likes his new house.

I think this is the starlings' second brood? The chirping disappeared for a while at the end of May, but it's now back with a vengeance. They seem to be flying now though so hopefully they'll vacate the nest soon.

Only just watching my recording of The Voice now, although I read on Twitter who won.

Some better pics of the runners today.

http://www.nowmagazine.co.uk/g...race-for-wife-2013/1

Morning all

very overcast and quite cool to-day and I've a line of washing out

the lady and her husband came to see me Mollie about the puppy ,she Is a true animal lover ,one of usand told me he would be in the bedroom ,be spoilt rotten she has two other dogs,who look as If they are spoilt stretched out on the sofa with a blanket of course,see I can't see any way round me keeping him as the dad is getting his nose pushed out   she growls every time he goes near the pup ,well enough of that I'm happy and thanks a million for your help and kind words

The house your son has bought sounds like bliss Hicky the idea of two bathrooms .wonderful never had that ,have you two bathrooms Mollie lucky you very jealous (only jesting)

How Is your son doing in Australia Hicky I've not heard you mention him lately at least he'll be having more sun than us ,I hope we are not in for a summer of rain same as last year.

I haven't watched Sherlock sounds as though I am missing out so must have a gander.

Oh emptybox sorry you had a bad night with the starlings pesky little beggars they are, we had some swallows one year on top of the alarm they built a nest there they were glorious ,if they alarm sounds posh It Isn't I've disconnected It now ,somebody kept coming in typsy and letting It off shhhhhhhh don't tell Its not working

Thanks for the photo empty box ,wonder If Ash will be a bride in real life?

not heard anything about her lovelife lately,I hope we get her on BOTS soon not tiddly this time though.

I don't have a favourite in this years BB I'm trying hard to like some of them there's usually one I really like but not this time.

Did you enjoy your spag bol yesterday ? I ended Up with salad and cheese crispbakes ,and I had a couple of pear ciders last night,only two as I have to get up with you know who

see you all later byee for now 

Just looked at the other picture emptybox haha Ash looks ready to rumble

love Nikki's fringe ,but she looks very frail

see you just put the heating on brrrrr

  Good afternoon all

Emptybox

hope you got a bit of sleep last night despite those noisy birds, but from what you say, hopefully, they will be flying the nest soon, and you get your peace back again. I think it has got cooler and is not humid too now,so hopefully that will help you sleep too.Did you enjoy your sphag bol last night? I had jacket potato, cheese beans and sour cream.

Fredo

  so pleased to hear you are happy with the new owner of the pup, sounds like pup is going to carry on being treated in the manner he has become accustomed to.   ie.. spolt rotten.   (just like our pets are)..

See you did do the right thing questioning and finding out more about the prospective owner,  if you hadn't you would of been forever worrying if you did the right thing sending your pup here, and now you have more info you can be assured all will be well for pup. It is great you have met the hubby too. and know they are experiencde pet owners who take pets in as part of their family . Was the lady ok about pup staying with mum until 8 weeks old? Yes you are right, you have got your hands full with the 2 dogs you already have, without taking any more on, and you certainly need a bit of a break after bringing up this pup.  It has been so hard on you losing so much sleep bringing up the pup.

Yes we are lucky to have 2 bathrooms, but one is just  a very small ensuite shower room. You can't move in the shower cubicle, it is so small.

Hicky

hope the weather is dry enough for you to get in your garden, and hope the move is coming on well for your lad.

Been to local greasy spoon for brekkie, as busy as ever but for £8 for 2 cooked brekkies with toast plus 2 coffees, no wonder. All served fresh and ppiing hot too, and thick chunks of brown toast dripping in butter is yummy.

Daughter going to archery club this afternoon, so I will do a bit of shopping whilst she is there.

Wonder how things are coming along in the BB house? Looking forward to tonight's episode as usual.

Not sure who my faves are yet either Fredo, but it is early days, and we did not see much of many of the HM's due to the actor storyline. I think Sophie appears to be a nice girl and I think the mum seems good fun, and nice to the other HM's I thought I wouldn't like Dexter, but now find him quite interesting and likeable.

Looking forward to seeing how the HM's progress during this next week. Wonder if they will bring in late HM's at all this year?

Have a good day all xxx

I agree with Fredo Emptybox.

Poor Nikki looks so frail.  

For coffee lovers, but if you are too rushed to make fresh cofee, I have discovered an instant  really nice coffee, it is tasty but without lots of added sugar/sweetness.

I really like it, have only tried the caramel one, but will try the vanilla one, Daughter found this caramel one in Morrisons.

http://www.douwe-egberts.co.uk...id=world-simply-pure

And if you like real frothy coffee, or cold milk shakes, I recently bought one of these, it is so easy to make coffee, just bung in spoon of coffee and cold milk or milk/water, and it makes hot frothy coffee in minutes.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hostes...words=coffee+frother

Off to get my frothy caramel coffee now.

Afternoon.

Yes it's much cooler, windy and drizzly here today.

Not very nice, but the plus side was I got a much better night's sleep.

I've tried Douwe Egberts coffee before Mollie, and liked it.

I tend to buy own brand instant coffee for everyday coffee, but buy coffee beans and grind them myself for my after-dinner coffee. I make it in a cafetiere, but I only have a dribble of milk in it anyway.

Hi Frodo. Glad the women you are thinking of giving the pup to has turned out to be a big animal lover.

Yes I agree that Nikki looks frail in her long dress and cardigan, but I think she did OK on the run. I suppose 5k is not very long (about 3 miles).

Not sure who I'm going to like on BB now that Sallie has gone? Probably much cheaper for me, if I don't feel that I've got to vote for anybody.

Tuned into the BB Sunday afternoon show, and Sallie was great on that.

Ironing and supermarket this afternoon...ho hum.

It's just come on heavy rain, so I can't do anything outside.

Hello emptybox 

yes I'm glad too that the woman is dotty about animals ,I've been so stressed that I've had an outbreak of eczema very itchy .but painful too ,the mum(the dog) is a lovely placid little thing but she won't let anyone near him only family,including the male dog....  i've cuddled him from day one in fact she sneaks off and leaves me in charge all the time

Never tried coffee very much more of a tea fanatic ,but you and Mollie have got me wanting to give It a go and I be off pronto to buy some is this you

       or is this you two

I wasn't that keen on Sallie ,but I can see why you and Hicky would like her with the short shorts I don't mind swearing but she really did have a potty mouth,and I think she would have shouted the others down in time seems as though there are cliques forming already.

They are nominating to-day aren't they ?thought that was usually on a Monday. Nikki did really well then always had a soft spot for her even though her and Ash had their spats ...good luck with the housework 

see you later

By the way I'm finding The Returned really heavy going 'know really If I'll finish watching It ,I'm going to persevere with It to-night

Hi Frodo.

That's the colour I like me coffee anyway. Just enough milk to stop it being clear, and no more.

I tend to go for South American coffee beans. I tend not to like African ones, or at least Kenyan ones, although I'm trying an African one at the moment which is OK - Tanzanian peaberry I think.

Sally was a bit over-bearing, but she had a good heart IMO. Hazel is the best looking one now, but I like Dan the detective as well.

I watched the first episode of The Returned and I've recorded the other episodes, but I doubt I'll get round to watching them, as I'm building up a load of recordings while BB is on.

Probably end up just deleting them.

There was absolutely torrential rain on the way to the supermarket. I thought I might not make it. I had the wipers on max and the road was flooding over as I was driving along. I considered turning back at one point.

But when I came out with my shopping the sun was out and it was a nice day again.

Still a lot of water on the roads though, but I expect it will disappear quickly with it being so dry up to this point.

Evening All.

Very dull and windy today.

Not done much, had an omelette for brekkie wity shrimps in it.

Have ordered Hard Salt Cod, Jellied Eels, White Crab Meat & King Prawns in tempura batter from The Fish Society.

They have a massive selection.

Didn't do anything in the garden, it had rained in the night so no need to water.

Made a load of choc chip cookies with coconut oil but the mixture was very dry and i don't know why.

Hi Frodo, haven't heard from my lad in Oz, the O/H is usually in contact with him

I don't normally drink coffee, used to have it at work when i had to use the machines but only drink tea at home.

We have it at home just for visitors..

Cooked a roast chicken dinner before, did the roasties in coconut oil, well i have got a few kilo of it.

Work tomorrow to start the last week of the month.

hello all 

just a quick post,never heard of coconut oil Hicky only for sunbathing .Is It good ,I always like to try new things,Iwould love everything you have ordered except for the eels

Did I mention I like Sam ,think hes really good natured ,and not a bit self conScious with his ear implants,

I think they are all taking the micky out of Dexter and I feel a bit sorry for him in fact I'm warming to him not keen on Dan, too cocky

Well night all the pup seems to come alive at night ,happy viewing night all 

Evening Frodo.

Coconut oil is the best oil to use for cooking frying for your skin, use it to help against Arthritis, bake with it instead of butter, it's the only oil i use now, i put it on to sunbath, when we get some sun.
