Remoska

I have a few more items to list on eBay, one to take to the PO & I need to take some pics to add to the listings.
I have decided to sell my Remoska, I shall miss it but I really need the room, I've had it a long time but it still works perfectly, it's the large one with the deep pan & it has an inner rack, an inner pan & I have the instruction leaflet & a recipe book.

I just hope it sells, I've offered free local collection as it will be the easiest, but I will post it if I need too.

Day 2 & still nothing achieved

Day one of the holidays, lazy start as my L&M didn't have to be at work 'til 10, my plan was to get the sewing machine out after I'd dropped him off. It wasn't to be. DD Lizzie rang, she had a Dr's appointment at 10:40, so I drove to hers after leaving my L&M at work, I stayed with her children & she drove to the Dr's. The Dr sent her to the hospital for a blood test so I returned to my house with the DGC's Mark, Norah & Eileen, we did some arts & crafts, made a loaf of bread & some muffins. Lizzie went to the hospital for the test, she then returned to my house to await the test results, there was a problem with the results & she finally left my house about 5ish. By the time I'd cleared up & got a meal ready for my L&M it was too late to get the sewing machine out.

Day two of the holidays, today my L&M is working 1 'til 10, Lizzie had been back in contact with the Dr's & the hospital & so I dropped my L&M at work, picked up Lizzie, Mark, Norah, Eileen plus mad dog, I dropped Norah & Eileen off with their other Grandparents, dropped Lizzie at hospital & brought Mark & mad dog home with me. Mark & I went to buy milk & bread, then we walked mad dog & bought Mark a magazine. We returned home, I did a few chores & Mark helped, the magazine kept Mark engrossed for most of the afternoon. SIL Carl arrived a few moments ago to collect Mark & mad dog, I could now get the sewing machine out but I'm too knackered, maybe tomorrow.

How to embarrass a son in law

I phoned DD Helen last night, she wasn't in & her partner answered the phone, we had a brief chat & it was on the tip of my tongue to ask him how he'd got on at the Dr's. I knew he'd been to see about his testicles. Deciding I would only embarrass him, I said nothing.
Helen phoned me this morning & after a catch up I asked her how the Dr's appointment had gone, explaining that I'd nearly asked the previous evening.
Helen replied 'Well this won't be any less embarrassing as he's sat beside me, but there is nothing seriously wrong with his testicles'.

Christmas

A bit early I know, but my beloved L&M thinks all his Christmas's have come at once. I've given up wearing tights & swapped to hold ups. Because I can't wear anything round my waist I was wearing big tights so they would come up to just under my bosom. Unfortunately the legs were then too long & I ended up with Norah Batty's (wrinkled ankles). So I have bought 10 pairs of hold ups for £5 in the supermarket. My L&M is in 7th heaven & can't keep his hands off me, lol.

End of term

What a week! On Tuesday our maths department had a meeting & decided that every student should have a revision booklet to take home for the holidays, upon hearing this some other departments decided to do the same. 
I produced 32000 sheets in 2 days & burnt out the mother board on one of the machines, I nearly burnt myself out too. My feet and ankles were swollen & my BP through the roof. Also, shock horror, I made a mistake on a print run of 25 booklets, black mark against my name. I was robust in my defence (well someone has to be) I said that with such a volume of printing done, one mistake was bloody good going. I will make no difference I know.

Hey ho, on to more interesting things, we went to the local carvery last night with my youngest son John, a belated Mothers day treat, John is a firefighter & the meal had to be fitted in around his & hubby's shift pattern, we had a lovely evening & it was nice to catch up with all his news.

I'm hoping to run round like a loony this weekend doing housework & then have time to do some sewing next week, the week after my L&M should be on holiday with me, but this is a bit up in the air at present as he is part of a team of 3 who work shifts & one member has given his notice in & has 21 days holiday to take before he leaves. My L&M may be asked to give up his holiday so there is cover.

 I was given these beautiful roses by a colleague who left on the last day of term, they were a thank you for the help I've given her over the last few years. Aren't they beautiful.

These are swapsies, my L&M took some tomato plants to work for a colleague & swapped them 2 lavender plants & 3 delphiniums, there is one tomato plant in with the box, it was surplus to requirements.

Why

Why, in the name of all that's sensible would anyone think that it is acceptable for their child to bring their scooter into a corner shop?
There are only 3 or 4 aisles in this shop, the child riding the scooter was 9 or 10, why couldn't he stay outside the shop or failing that, how about, shock horror, Mother refused to let the child bring the scooter at all. That way we all could have shopped without snagged tights & flat toes!
