roma, I would love to see your design and what colours you chose. A picture sounds perfect
I'm taking an early tea break from weeding and digging. My back is telling me it's been working this week. Only a corner to do and then there are lots of weeds to pick up and bin.

morning ladies ![Smile Smile](https://tmmb.co.nz/forums/images/smilies/smile.png) It's a rough day out there this morning.
lol mica. Your comment about still being married reminded me of MrK teaching me to back a trailer... now that came pretty close to divorce lol.
Housework for me today and if the weather clears, I'll start picking up the piles of weeds to be binned.
The shower is leaking and this time we need the plumber (again). We suspect it is all to do with the higher water pressure we have now. Am just about ready to throw my hands in the air and give up. No, not throw my hands in the air, I feel like having a full blown tanty. Am over all these repairs/replacements we have had over the last 18 months.
I'm working my way back up the right hand side of the wolf, I estimate a week to ten days and it will be finished.
Happy crafting

Morning everyone
Its wild and wooly here too.
Lol Mica and Kiwimade, flat packing should be left to women.. And My stepfather started to teach me how to back a trailer, usually when we were dropping grass at the transfer station. But sadly he died before I finished learning.. and there was no way in h*ll I was getting MrP to finish teaching me .. There would have been fists before the divorce. his not mine. I've driven the car with one on, but not backed one really lol.
It was nice painting yesterday.. its not a picture I would have chosen, but as it was gifted to me I feel I have to do it. Didn't help that Madam wanted to snuggle in one arm at the same time.
No plans for today, but Im sure Ill find something to do. I have a movie I want to see. its oldish lol. War Horse. Have had it for ages, still wrapped. so Ill watch that later.
Have a fab day

Have a fab day all

morning ladies ![Smile Smile](https://tmmb.co.nz/forums/images/smilies/smile.png) That was one wild night with all the wind and rain with a bit more to come by the looks of it.
Not a lot planned for the day, hopefully the plumber can come out and fix the shower. There is still room in the wheelie bin for more weeds and the Furry One needs more medication. And I'll make a chicken pie out of the leftover roast chook for dinner tonight. More of a 'pottering about' day than anything.

morning ladies ![Smile Smile](https://tmmb.co.nz/forums/images/smilies/smile.png) The sun is finally out but it is still chilly.
The plumber never arrived yesterday; fingers crossed for today. We have towels where the water is dripping so it would be good if he could fix it today.
Once the bin man has been I'll refill the bins with the weeds and garden rubbish we can't compost. And it looks like we are back to weekly lawn mowing. MrK wants a good catcher load of clippings in 'bin #2 please'.
I made a comment under AMI's FB post about the loss adjuster we had for our claim and couldn't believe it when a woman from AMI replied and said they would investigate her behaviour. I wanted to make a complaint at the time, but MrK felt we had enough on our plates with him going into hospital on top of everything else. We both just wanted it over and done with. It will be interesting to see if anything comes of it.
Later this afternoon I'll do more on the jacket. Am almost halfway up the right hand side now.
Happy crafting

Good morning.
Cool start but it's nice and sunny.
Fingers crossed for the plumber KM. Someone you don't want on hold!
Home day today, out this evening for a GS music recital. Should be able to get outside later ... nearly done the garden weed round, with a small shrub to plant and I see there is another big one needed where a Lancewood has mysteriously died. Sometimes I wonder what (if any) spray has been used on the other side of a neighbouring fence
Well underway with the embroidery ... at last on a roll.
Better keep on the move.
Enjoy the day all.

Morning everyone.
Clear here but chilly.
House smells good tho. I got the ingredients ready to ut bread on, and since I was awake at 4-15am, on it went. So its cooling now. A nice size loaf too.
I have ladies coming for picks up today. So home day.
It hit the fan at the home yesterday. Annie who while I love her dry wit, has run out of smokes so super sensitive and stressed. she wiped her no on a paper serviette and then put it on the lunch table. Colleen ripped into her. Including telling her to go have a shower, frig knows how long its bean but her hair is disgusting and she smells. So Annie left without her lunch, she did come back and get it without saying a word.
Then we were sitting talking and the alarms went. The doors all slammed shut to each wing. It was training for the staff, but thankfully it was just us and one other lady. So while we were concerned, Dianne and I could have got the three residents out if need be. None can walk. They should have let us know tho. Cos they can all read the alarm board and it came up as smoke. But we kept them calm.
I've decided to de-bone the lamb leg. So its defrosting in the sink. Ill thaw it today, and get creative tomorrow. And then Ill be cooking it in the crockpot. Possibly in two cooks. My Sister friend from Taranaki is coming up on Thursday which is also her birthday. So we will enjoy it. Ill cook waffles for desert. She loves cheesecake but that's not in my budget, Beit making or just buying one.
Have a fab day everyone

Oh my - should we be envious...? Nah, can't be arsed.
Both Madame Le cat & Madame Le Dog were in disgrace yesterday; her furriness was perched on the fence snarling & growling at something on the other side, so managed to just reach up & grab her & shut her inside for ten minutes.
Obviously far too soon since within approximately 20 seconds there was the sound of a cat fight. Raced out to grab her & caught a glimpse of the dreaded interloper who's also a tabby but with white feet & bib.
Shut her inside again.
Which is where Madame le Dog enters the picture... she caught sight of the hated invader walking past & jumped up to express her strong disapproval & damn near took the windpw out!
Its very quiet out there today; long may it remain so.

An influencer... wow... lol. I'd have blocked Musk's ar*e as well although it was probably someone he pays to manage his account.
It would seem the two Madams have joined together, Lilith ![Tongue Tongue](https://tmmb.co.nz/forums/images/smilies/tongue.png) I would be worried
It would seem the plumber is waiting for parts so it's towels to mop up the water.

Id be interested in knowing what you are Influencing people about Hunni lol
Scary sign having the two madams becoming a single unit..
Well I feel like I've had a productive day so far.
The Bread is yummy. The creamed rice is cooked and..
It took me 30 minutes to unwrap, debone, tie up and pop one piece in the crockpot , the other which wasn't quite defrosted is in the fridge for Thursday.
I love busy times in the kitchen, and totally enjoyed being there.
I now know the anatomy of a Lamb leg lol. I've done pork before, generally just shoulder roasts tho. I managed to get it boned out without any waste other than a piece of Fat I intentionally cut off. All in one piece. Needed a knife that could have been sharper. But its done now. I should have stopped and sharpened it, but Ill do that before I use it again. Was MRP's filleting knife.
Soo Ill be up late while the meat cooks in the crockpot.
Yesterday I had 3 cans of Pepsi and had jumping legs last night. So 2 is my max. now. Im not really missing it so much today either so Thats a Bonus

morning ladies ![Smile Smile](https://tmmb.co.nz/forums/images/smilies/smile.png) We have fog this morning.
lol OHH, would we ever doubt you?
Nice work, popeye ![Smile Smile](https://tmmb.co.nz/forums/images/smilies/smile.png) Always good to have some knife skills in the kitchen.
Fingers crossed again for the plumber, the leak is becoming worse.
By the sound of it, our grandson would like a dragon on the back of his jacket. I'll need to find a second hand jacket in his size first. Colours to be advised lol but I suspect purple will be in there somewhere. My kind of kid
The lawn needs mowing again, it doesn't matter there is fog, I can still get out there and mow. I tend to work better in the mornings.
happy crafting

Morning everyone
Clear as a bell here..
Love kids who like their own stuff regardless of what others think Kiwimade.
I totally enjoyed doing the meat. And I will say its yummy lol.. Ill make a sandwich to take with me today.
Off to see the girls, its painting day. Thankfully I wont see Annie. Shes the one that for some reason has become dirty. I do wonder if I should give her some shower gel and shampoo, it could help. But whether she would take it with the love that its given with. Or be offended, I dont know. Might talk to Dianne and see what she thinks.
Have a fab day all.
