Husband is away, and woke up to having to clean up pee fom the dog who also decided that on the couch was a good spot. (Don't know how to get him to stop peeing in the house) and then found out that my fridge/freezer stopped producing cold air or whatever you call it. Luckily my boss was kind enough to let me go home and take my stuff from my freezer to my Mother-in-law so it does not go off. But the techinician is only coming at 16:00 (it is now 14:35) to have a look. I don't even want to think about the expense. I am hoping it is just a simple matter of having to be re-gassed and that it does not cost too much. And that it is fixable at least. Otherwise we need a new fridge and that will put me in more debt.:oops:
Sorry to hear that Carol. :(
I don't know what to suggest about the dog except maybe to lock him in a more mopable area.
Hope your F/F is fixable and not too expensive.

Your poor friend!! I would be a mess if I was in her shoes!!

Pretty sure that relationship won’t last.

My friends, “best” friend had an affair with her husband and both couples divorced and the new couple only lasted 2-3yrs. All together there were 5 small kids involved. It was so sad.

Can you imagine telling your best girlfriend all your marriage problems while she’s sleeping with your husband?

Enjoy your giggling!!
I can't post what I think of your friend's BF either!

That's what I ordered, is everything in the luxury pack ok?
Thanks guys btw
I had more luck growing dandies by collecting the fluffy seed heads from wild dandies and putting them in a large pot half filled with old soil.
The seeds I bought didn't thrive at all.
Good luck with yours.

It is always sad when children are involved.

Good afternoon evening all.
Hope everyone is OK, and any problems you've had have been resolved.
All good with me, as long as I stay in out of the heat - I think Lola must get that from me!
I need to pop to the shops but will wait until the sun's gone down - maybe I'm turning into a vampire!
Then again I can't even eat meat if it's just a bit pink - at the moment!!!

I'm having a tough time getting started this a.m. Gonna' be another hot one and I'm not looking forward to going outside. But duty calls. . .
I get it. That is what i felt like when i heard the rain this morning and that was BEFORE the pee clean up and fridge/freezer saga!

So I dug out my 1952 Good Housekeeping cookery book @Yvonne G as I thought that would have the most authentic “Agatha Christie” style Fairy Cake recipe.

However, it was published only 7 years after the war and rationing ended here in 1954 which is probably why there is no icing on top of these

This is a more modern recipe they say top with glace icing which is the water icing (icing sugar, water and a drop of colouring) that I described before

My mum used to make lovely coconut cakes which is the same mix but with dessicated coconut - mmmmm I would love to have a couple of those with a cuppa now!!

:( Sorry to hear that.

Electronic hugs [emoji847] from me
Thank you. I feel better now. Hubby is back again. Torts taken care of. Fridge is fixable (still an extra expense not accounted for but not as bad as a new one would be) but will only get it back on saturday. And I am now chilling.

I believe it's a case of "picky eater". She will nibble on her food but doesn't get excited about most of it. Looks very healthy though. Cheerios586 has been working hard on improving her diet, the tort just doesn't want to cooperate.
Typical kid. Also sounds like Lola. Who says torts aren't intelligent. They know how to wrap us around their fingers.
