My son is back from his hols. As I suspected - a cracked rib
An over enthusiastic pool party - got thrown in the pool and smashed his ribs on his partners head - on the first night
I told him I'm not letting him go on holiday next year.
Lil Aims is having a great time, she got in at 5 this morning and she's off to a paint party tonight and then to see a rapper, she had a snake put round her neck last night and she says never again

Oh dear oh. Kids.
The 7 year old is standing in tears because I won't allow him to sleep in his friends house a few doors up. I know when I was a kid I was allowed to stay in my best mates house at that age but I really don't trust the other kid. I know that sounds awful but he's a year older and he's fond of talking about poo, bums and God knows what else.
My wee one hates me now and keeps saying 'I thought you were the boss' because I blamed him not being allowed on Daddy saying no way 
He's too young though but he just doesn't understand that!
You could have used the 'not on a school night' reason.

I'm surprised she did that I'm quite shocked how much she seems to be liking it to be honest, she'll be on bed rest for a month when she gets back
Anyone watching this program on 5 about travellers
This made me Lol

Ahhh right, I forget that you have different holidays to us. DOH.
By 8.30 this morning, I had:-
Taken delivery of the new washing machine
Walked the dogs
Watered the garden
Moved all of the removed decking from the back garden to the front of the house ready for the new patio to be laid today.
Instructed Mr C to build me a planter trough out of some of the old decking.
Came to work.
Is it bed time yet? Although, I won't get to have an early night as we are out for a family dinner tonight to celebrate my eldest sisters 50th birthday.
So I've been out for the family dinner. And this is the cake my second eldest sister made for the one turning 50. (as an aside 50....50.... I'm celebrating my sisters being 50, that is not funny).
Anyway, so here is the cake. Just so you know, my sister owns a couple of deli shops. (If anyone is in the Framwellgate Moor area of Durham, that's where her main place is)
It's a giant breakfast buttie... and here is it is with the lid off
I love the cake. Happy 50th birthday to your sister.
Thank you Yogi.
I love that she even thought to brown the sausages
And the ketchup, and the little bit of fat on the edges of the bacon.
THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO CONTEND WITH FOR THE FRIGGIN CHRISTMAS COMPETITION!

If that post makes no sense see the summer Summer Christmas thread. 
It's the coffin he's buried in. Hitler would have took shelter in it. Well had it been 65 (give or take a few) years earlier.
Just so you know, I am opting for cardboard. Or if they will allow some environmentally friendly bin liners.
Oh wow, what a cake!
I'm doing a cake for my daughter's family birthday party on Sunday (although she isn't going to be there as she is going to a festival!).
I don't think it will be as good as that 
Just so you know, I am opting for cardboard. Or if they will allow some environmentally friendly bin liners.
I'm opting for the same for hubby ... well, that's if he goes before me. I know I would be desperately upset if I had to bury him, but I'd be even more upset if I was burying him in a box costing over a grand!
Rexi, we run our own business, so we are always 'get at least 3 prices' and I've told him the same goes for our funerals.

We had to funeral both of Mr Cinds parents within 10 months of each other and the variation was ridiculous.
His Mums sister sorted the Mums funeral, (and I know this sounds awful but she's one of lifes 'grabbers' if you know what I mean? But I would not be surprised if she had got a back hander from his Mothers funeral).
10 months later when his Father died, we went elsewhere and it was almost ÂĢ2000 less and a much better service. (and when I say service I dont't mean the actual funeral sitting down service, but the way the funeral directors conducted it all).
Just remembered I have Luther recorded. Off to bed now to watch it and then be a dirty cheating wife in my dreams.
Na-night all 
Cracking cake.

Quite right too : laugh:
I'm going to have to watch Luther on demand today ... seems like I am missing out on something
That cake is amazing Is that what 2nd eldest sis does? If not she should!!

My grandma lives up that way
Love that cake
In my head I'm so creative - I could dream up all kinds of confections and creations ...................when it comes to the more practical stuff I am seriously, dreadfully bad. You cannot even begin to imagine how that cake might have turned out if I'd made it.
That cake is amazing Is that what 2nd eldest sis does? If not she should!!
NO! We keep telling her she should pack her job in and take the plunge. Let me see if I can find some more pics of her creations.
I couldn't find any, but I did find this!
Have I ever mentioned how much I hate trying to communicate with HMRC. My blood is boiling now. So I'm off home to open some wine. 
Have any of the dieting ladies tried these?
Fat Free. Sugar Free. Gluten Free. And only 7.7 calories per 100g.
Tried the noodles today with a spicy chicken & tomatoe dish I made. Tasty & very filling. Highly recommending.

Is it edible?
Joe, they just frustrate me no end. After 4 phone calls, each one spouting recorded crap at me then telling me I needed a different number at the end, I finally got to speak to someone after being on hold for almost 30 minutes, only for the complete waste of space to tell me I needed to speak to Sage.
Last payroll year we had underpaid them because we had overpaid them they year before. They were quick to write to me about the underpayment so when I rang them and went through it all with them, they agreed that they owed me money. When I asked for it in writing they blankly refused saying it wasn't their policy.
Right I need to go, I can feel my blood pressure rising again.
That cake is amazing, your sister really should try it as a career....especially if she enjoys doing it!
I'm off to see my new niece today I'll post a picture when I get back
