Well it sounds like a lot of plans were changed today, yes mine too! I had a text from Emma just before lunch she had just remembered it was her turn for cakes in biology tomorrow ! Finally she let me know how many she needed so off I went to make chocolate cup cakes for her. I made one batch and started to weigh out the ingredients for the next batch and had a senior moment- I forgot to add sugar!!! I had to bin the second batch, not even good enough to eat with custard! Then I had to go and buy more eggs and cocoa to remake the second batch. They were all cooked by the time I met her train so she just had to ice them before revising for her statistics mock tomorrow. The house smells of chocolate cake which is not what you want on diet day, but I've been good and just had my soup so only a few more hours to go with a rumble tummy! <br />Hazel your fish salad sounds delicious - did you watch Masterchef tonight, they were cooking fish too (I'm not obsessed by food on died day honestly!) <br />Maureen yes I definitely think you live in a mansion! Our loft is full to the rafters! We keep saying we must sort it out! We put a lot of boxes up there when we sorted out my parents house many years ago, it was the easiest thing to do at the time but we do need to do it sometime soon - we don't need loft insulation though which is a good thing! <br />Well I must toddle off to bed, Julian has taken tomorrow off so we can spend some time together, not sure what we will do yet, depends on the weather. I have offered to do the train run in the morning though so he can have a lie in so I need to set my alarm and get to bed. <br />Saba I hope you and Val had a good lunch with her friends today.xxx<br />Night night everyone see you tomorrow <br />Love Diane xxxDiane Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04007431860077443115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-14767227896216636222015-04-23T22:28:10.761+01:002015-04-23T22:28:10.761+01:00Hi Sandra and all lovely ladies,

They seem to be everywhere this year. Have a good night's sleep and see you tomorrow xxx.<br />Hazel, we had ladders and a large loft door put in years ago. BIG mistake because everything just got put up there. Now we only keep the cases and a couple of dining chairs. We need loads of chairs for when the family all come every other Boxing Day (and a few other days as well). Although, I am going to try to curtail such big numbers (20 or more). <br />Well he has just wandered upstairs so I'll whiz around and clear the benches, make sure all the Baileys bottles are empty - yup they are now!!!! The cakes are in the tins, and the money pot is in the safe. Dishwasher loaded but not put on - got to take care of Maria - and I'm off to watch the 10 pm news. I hope it's not all the election - you can get too much of a good thing lol.<br />Have a good night's sleep everyone, Patricia, I hope you get a better night, but if you don't, just think I'll be there with you in spirit!!!<br />Sweet dreams, love Daffy xxx Maureen Killenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706260334646673279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-63130912900891469442015-04-23T21:57:46.524+01:002015-04-23T21:57:46.524+01:00Sandra I was saying that too, they all seem to be ...Sandra I was saying that too, they all seem to be sleeping?

That took me up to teatime, ate that whilst watching catch up on Extant. Mum rang for a quick chat then chuntered on for 1 & half hours.

However I looked in a few minutes ago and read what Margaret had posted and being an " interested person" went to have a look! Some nice dies and some of the configuration ones look really interesting I did wonder if they would fit with previous dies to adapt those or would be stand alone. It's the latter. I like some of the finishing touches bits and pieces too . Scared to mention too much in case I get in trouble!

Guess what. I missed ...Hello, I'm back again. Guess what. I missed the window vac at Lidl because of Eleanor spraining her wrist it went clean out of my mind. When I did remember at lunch time, George went straight away and they had sold out. In fact they had sold out so quickly because everyone who went to the shop bought one!!<br />Rachel took her to A & E last night after Guides and she was eventually seen after midnight!! This was in the Children's Department at A & E. She was not x-rayed but examined by a doctor who said that it was a sprain. He said do not put it in a sling, do not put any binding on, use it as much as she can. I think if it had been strapped up she may well have managed to go to school but with no support, she couldn't bear to hold anything. Well, its swollen and she is in a lot of pain. She has been moving her fingers and her hand every ten minutes or so, but had paracetamol every 5 hours and frozen peas wrapped in a tea towel around her wrist.<br />Brenda, I've made a note of your verse, thank you. I have lots of verse stamps but it does get expensive as you can't send the same verses to the same people.<br />Michele, I'm busy making he small cards to go inside your box. I'm thrilled to bits with the results so far, so thank you. The pop-up box will be next on the agenda!!<br />Patricia, you will have to slow down, I can't keep up with you. We cleared our loft a few years ago, and I could not believe some of the stuff up there. Dressing table, settee, dining chairs. Things I didn't even know I had, like a book of Cornish Stories presented to my Grandfather on 17th January 1887 for regular attendance at Sunday School when he was 14. One of my treasured possessions because he died on my 1st birthday so I don't remember him. My brother Raymond still reminds me of it because it was during the war and we were going to have cakes for tea - a big treat!<br />Well I hope that everyone has had a good day today, it's been glorious here but I haven't seen much of it.<br />Going to have a look at Tattered Lace's facebook!!!<br />Lovve Daffy xxxMaureen Killenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04706260334646673279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-53429286465140544032015-04-23T21:09:41.037+01:002015-04-23T21:09:41.037+01:00Very quiet again here tonight???

I had a beautiful hot smoked salmon and prawn salad, Charlie had just plain prawn salad, have to say it was yummy. Back home to get a call from work as I had left a message with daddy saying that old groom had been texting me, so just filled in on what had gone on, so at least they know what I had said. So we will see what happens tomorrow. I am not in till lunch time wheni pick Anna up. Oh I think I will have a hot chocolate, it's turned cold here it's because there is dampness I the air which doesn't help! Now I should go and do some cutting,but I don't know if I can be bothered. I think an early night would be better, then again what ungodly hour would I be wide awake at??? Money In the pot for the chocolate and I had a slice of carrot cake which was delicious, Hazel x Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08926523409356883633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-44520613538132278282015-04-23T20:59:38.837+01:002015-04-23T20:59:38.837+01:00Thank you Margaret!
