Oh wheeeeee

CyndB... thought you were not going to wheeeee over to new page

on not only that CynB.. we on SA call it TOPP... Top of the Page Post..

got booted off..
wanted to say.. the 'on' should be 'and'

the mess has started..

Mr Electrician has arrived and has started his job.

Ok girls, no more wheeeeeing for me on SA, from now on if I can manage it, I'll be TOPPing.
Rolanda, I'll be interested to hear how it all goes with the renovations of your ensuite. We plan to do ours later in the year and I'm dreading the upheaval. But it must be done - ours is so typically 90's it's depressing.

okay CynB. me and my Cabinet Maker Hubby will swing past your place after we have been to Becky's in Ohio to do her Kitchen Tops.
Hubby can do your bathroom after that.

the Shower recess is leaking.. the walls in the adjoining room are damp. and the bathroom cupboard is swelling due to the damp.

that is the main reason why we are redoing the ensuite.

Ours isn't leaking - problems are only cosmetic but it's hard to clean, the shower door is an old triple fold one with broken runners etc etc etc ....
Oops, gotta go now to see my Mum, I just looked at the time. TTFN Have a good day.

I'm back...Is anyone home?
Rolanda and Miz T, glad you like the chair. After seeing how nice the new room was, I finally broke down and found one that I liked. Its quite comfy. It not only swivels, but it also rocks...and yes, you are all welcome to use it when I'm not around....just don't leave any crumbs in it or spill stuff all over please.

Rolanda...Hope the renovations go smoothly...its always a pain going through it, but the end results are usually worth it! BTW, I didn't get the email.....perhaps the gremlins are still at work.I do hope it comes through.

maEn to you CynB. Oh My, the cake looks too good. i must settle for my graham cracker , my bedtime snack. chocolate and I do not go together well at night, boo hoo.

Yes, fuel prices are going up and up and I am so glad I am not driving off to work daily. Zero fuel for hubby to walk out back to his office and shop. Was not always the case, he ran a service business, might make 7 to 8 service calls a day, and many miles, many gallons. I Imagine trip charges for any service have gone up to compensate, but still all those $$$ for fuel.

Is the issue of food not touching a universal thing? My daughter went through a spell of that, as a pre teen. she would not eit if food touched. now a caserole was OK, but if I served peas and applesauce or some such, with meat, no, applesauce and peas should never touch each other or the meat. I bought her 2 plastic divided plates, and she ate from those 9 when no guests were around) for several years.

I do wonder what this food not touching signifies???

I am off to bed now. busy day today. I made a run up to local shops, to meet up with a lady wanting rooted starts to airplane plant I had. they have been growing in water all winter, NICELY rooted. while there I ran into , well, hobbled as quickly as I could, and found some good items on mark down. So more things to come home andn put away today. Nice to know, we will eat this next couple weeks :>)

Miz T what are airplane plants?

I have a granddaughter who loathed vegetables when she was younger - she eats them now. So one day when she was staying with us and wanted spaghetti bolognaise for dinner, I thought I would cheat and chop up vegies (small) and put them in the sauce with the meat. What a mistake! Not only did she notice, but I had to find every small piece and pull it out, it was not easy (Oh, what a Grandmother will do that she wouldn't have done for her own children!). I told her parents that they had better do something constructive about getting her to eat vegetables. Next time she wanted to stay, I told that she could only stay if she ate what I gave her.

Hi CynB...What a smart Granny you are....children know how special we try to make their visits and they don't want to miss out on them...so we are not above a little bribery to help move things int he right direction.....

Rolanda...can you pop over to Melbourne and add me to your list?
Mine has 30's fittings tarted up in the 70's [brown hand basin.....I can hear you all vomiting from here..]
We desperately need a revamp and more![we could nab Gail and hit the town while hubby is busy
]

June - I was the generally good as child when it came to food....would eat nearly everything except cold meat. The only cold meat I would eat was corned beef/silverside. Strange!

Mum used to make a lot of shepherds pies and another favourite was meat fritters: make a normal pikelet batter minus the sugar, add a dash of W. sauce, minced onion, grated carrot and minced cold meat. YUM.

We never seem to have cold left over meat and haven't had any for years but it is an easy way of getting meat and veg into kids.

didn't mean to ignore everyone else..hi!

While you're over here Rolanda, that kitchen I told you about...hmm..ok!

this is looking like a noice holiday for Moi!! visiting Becky, CynB, Bean and Gail..
while Hubby slaves away fixing up kitchens, bathrooms, laundrys, etc etc etc..
Bean.. dont you just love the 70's look !!

I find the best way to 'smuggle' vegies into kids is to grate them up. Another way I saw recently, when I accidentally turned the TV on during the day and watched Oprah, was to use purees. Jerry Seinfeld's wife has brought out a book about using purees and she puts them into everything.

hehe.. Gail. saw your 'mistook' on Easy ....

Thanks for the subtlety Rolanda!

Sprung you Dag!!!

Cheers...friend!!!

LOL Gail, what is that beside your chair...an empty bottle????

bottle of bubbly no doubt Broni, that girl loves her bubbly

Looks a bit empty to me Rolanda, no wonder she posted on the easy page!

no wonder !!!

It's a cup for my tea girls! Leave me alone...I made a booboo!

OH Gail, you know we love you, just the way you are

Ah! won't even admit she has a problem Rolanda!

I know..

gotta go.. nice chatting with you Broni.

Bye Rolanda, bye Gail Happy Easter to you both

Hi all, I have got myself a chair, not too comfy or I'll stay too long. Thanks Shar for the use of your invisible couch.

Time to feed the menagerie, byeeee

Hi Lynda,Broni,Rolanda,Gail,Bean,CynB, Mamacita, MizT, and anyone else who drops in.

Bean I still make fritters when I have left over corn beef and sometimes for lunch just make vegetable ones with lots of cut up vegetables, a can of creamed corn and some chicken stock powder to add to the taste.

I dropped by to wish you all a very Happy Easter Holiday weekend. If travelling, stay safe.
If staying home may it be Peaceful. God Bless.
