There's more to life than spelling, Aims.

Well done to lil Aims, she obviously worked hard to achieve her excellent grades.

Ells, your niece is gorgeous, congratulations to your family.

Jen, please give baby Archie a hug from his adopted forum aunties when you visit him.

Will do yogi

Did Lil Aims have a good time Aimee?

Yes  I'm just hearing all about it, I wish I'd never asked now 

Ooooh I'll suggest that too her. The cakes are always amazing too, along with the decorating. 

Eldest sister is the deli queen.

Second is the cake queen.

Third sister once rang me and asked how to boil rice, so I'll say no more.

Fourth sister, her family are always out and about so she doesn't bother.

Me, I'm the cooking queen, stand for ours cooking up dishes, but I cannot bake to save my life.

Ells your niece is gorgeous.  Love her outfit too.

Aimee a huge pat on the back for the girl on her achievements, you've got a good one there.

Jen, please give Archie a massively gentle hug off me, and also one each for his parents, and tell them I think about them every day. 

I echo what Cinds said.  Your niece is a real cutie Ells. Aims, lil Aims did herself and you proud. Hopefully her Dad will reward her appropriately.  

And like Cinds, I often wait for news about Adorable Archie. I reckon the power of positive thinking is... well... powerful. In which case he's a winner. 

Thanks folks, she really was just lovely from the minute she was born.  They usually look like aliens for the first day

I need to go see her again.  I want one!

you want an alien?

ive got 2 at my house you can have

Your 2 are older than mine.....no way am I dealing with that earlier than needed!

Serious note .Have you ever looked down at your hands and though they looked old. I have just noticed that my hands look old today

it's because you are a hag  erin 

No but mine look ridiculous recently.  The hand itself is tanned but the fingers are pure white.  Looks like bad fake tan but it's not.  They don't look old though. Yet.

sorry but

So it is

Think i need to update his thread... there's news

Oh ffs, got an email from the lotto site saying there was news about my ticket (meaning I won something) so I got all excited and logged in to my account to find I'd won £5.60.  Eff off lotto and stop giving me a heart attack!

Worth its weight: The cult Chanel bag has sold out  despite its jaw-dropping price tag and has been seen left, right and centre on  famous shoulders

Measuring only 12cm x 20cm x 5.5cm, the  £5,370 price tag appears only to have aided the Chanel clutch's reputation as  the ‘it’ bag of Summer 2013.

A lego bag for 5k

To be honest, if I saw any woman walking around with that I would have two thoughts. How tacky it looks and how much did she pay for it a pound land? 

I agree EC, a fool and their money eh.

Although I should talk, once spent £100 on a CD.!!!!

So maybe I should not be too quick to judge.

What a stupid looking bag

if I see anyone with that I will be the one walking behind them, smirking!

Kim Kardashian has one.  That says it all really.

Yup

Some of you might now I've been rehashing my garden.  Well I say garden it was basically just a lawn surrounded by the house and fences.

Here's some pictures.  I'm chuffed to bits with how it looks.

That's all pretty much along the back fence.

We've also took all of the decking out and had a huge new patio laid right along and down the side of the house. Husband built me a new planter out of some of the old decking.

And this is is once it gets dark and all of the solar lights come on.

Next job, we're going to take to lawn off, then rotavate the whole garden to level it and put new turf down.

We've been in this house for almost 11 years and I've never loved the garden, but I do now. 

Didn't want to say it in Dittys thread but the red cross turned up at the womans house that died round the corner from me at 7,30 am 6 days after she died without notice to take their things back 

WHAT?  Aimee that's disgusting.

I know  her husband said they came in and took the bed they'd shared and left him heart broken 

Your garden looks lovely btw 

The Penne pasta one is horrible It tastes ok but its the texture! I may try the rice but the texture of the pasta is a bit to tough *shudder* it made me think of squid.

Theres a whole bowl minus 2 pieces next to me.... i just cant eat it

Aimee poor bloke

Cinds the gardens looking good!

And as for the bag

I haven't tried the penne pasta, just the noodles and the spaghetti, and to me the texture was just like rice noodles.

And thanks 

Oooooh pretty lights! I love it Cinds

Thanks.  Mr C's father built us a beautiful gazebo a few years ago & I've just received more lights to adorn it with.  Husband says if I'm not careful planes will be landing in the garden. 

Mr C has just asked me to measure his head. (He's after a camera helmet).  Anyway, the measurement came out as "muckle". 

not giving advanced notice was very bad 

Red Cross in general run on a very short supply of aides and usually quick of the mark getting the items back that have been loaned but on the other side there is sometimes a waiting list for these aides ...

we waited ages for a few bits Mum needed 

what I do find distasteful is anyone fitted with a pacemaker  that dies has the device removed ASAP as these also are loaned .... didnt realise until it happened to a Friend of ours and worse than this they charge to do the procedure
