quite agree Ruth. Don`t eat out very much, but just feel so full it`s uncomfortable and like you say, they don`t serve huage portions (although you can let rip on a carvery) The first thing L like to do when get home after meal out is to have a lovely mug of tea and that seems to make me feel better...

brilliant shelves, look very good and I like the curtains too, you sure are talented.

thats lovely lillia,

I suffer from depression and have done for quite a while but found it difficult to acknowledge that something was wrong even though life seemed to be spiralling out of control. It was`nt until I walked into work and just burst into tears and walked out again I finally saw that I needed help and phon...

Hi Sandy,
It was`nt the pony that was artificial, it was the bog, It had a ramp going down to it and getting out of it. There are a few nasty bogs on dartmoor, sorry not much to do with war horse apart from the horses.

we are having Falafel burgers with Greek salad, tzatziki and pitta bread.

think I will wait for DVD of War Horse, I too would be crying my eyes out from start to finish, I have the book and will read that first to try and prepare myself. Just an aside, I lived on Dartmoor where Run Wild Run Free was filmed, the lady I lived with son supplied ponies for it, and her grandso...

used to watch Corrie but not for few years (this will age me, I can remember Ena Sharples, Minnie Caldwell and Elsie Tanner characters). Eastenders always seems to be depressing, so have given that up. Used to watch Emmerdale when it had 4 legged animals in it. Love the Archers and part of Sunday mo...

Hi Poncharetta. I have just read your post and WOW, you certainly have being frugal sorted out. My children have flown the nest but I give myself tooooooo much `pocket money' and my downfall is books. If I see a new book by favourite author (and I have more than 1) I have to buy it, I am really goin...

Just read about packing up smoking and amount it costs. I was a really heavy smoker and was lucky enough to pack it up 11yrs ago, and not have any withdrawal symptoms apart from rea difficulty in swallowing for a week or so, sods law that it was when on holiday in devon and could`nt eat cream teas p...

I am going to watch birdsong on catch up on laptop, probably in early hours as my sleep pattern has gone completely haywire and spend most of night up and waste morning by sleeping, it`s a bit like being on night duty. anybody watch wild at heart, have watched last 2 seasons but just can`t get into ...

I did enjoy call the midwife last night, miranda soooooooo good in the part of chummy, looking forward to next weeks episode.
saw most of 127 hours but to be honest found it a bit boring, and ended up sorting out washing.

I watched call the midwife oncatch up (lap top poorly for a few days) and loved it. Anybody read any of Jennifer worths books, they are very very good. I trained as a nurse in early 70`s and it was still strict then and we were still answerable to Matron. Nhs has changed so much, not always for the ...

I turned over when I saw the cockerel fighting, I too thought it was illegal same as dog fighting. Why is it one law for one and another for someone else. these people seem to get away with it al.

well we were going out for a carvery lunch but hubby wanted to move some bees to another location, so we are having thai green chicken curry, rice, naan bread and onion bhajis, (never made bhajis or naan bread before but going to give it a whirl) at home this evening.
