Sunday

Hope you all had a good Halloween.  Ours was pretty quiet in the end and that's it done with for another year.  Let the Christmas preparations begin!

I am back at work tomorrow after a week off for half-term. So it is my last day of freedom.  Even more depressing is the fact that my working hours have increased - not my choice I might add. So now I will be working from 8 am to 4 pm Monday - Friday.  It's bleak.

It's been a cold week here and today is no different, so we are having a snuggly day indoors. I need cheering up so I am cooking a proper Sunday dinner for the first time in ages, I mean we do have one most weeks, but not usually on a Sunday.  My sons are at that age where weekends are for avoiding home at all costs and being out & about.  They fly in for 5 minutes to get something, charge their phones, change or get ready to go out.  They eat all their meals out at various friends, girlfriends, takeaways, etc. I daren't even ask what they eat but I do make proper meals the rest of the week to make sure they get a bit of balance!  Anyway, all this thinking about Christmas gave me the urge to eat sprouts with white sauce on so I've decide we are having a Sunday dinner today and have called the clan together - who knows if they will turn up? I'd have invited my parents but they've gone to Germany to visit baby Emily.

 (update - it was just me and Mr Fuzz for dinner - the lads dinners are still waiting to be eaten and it is 8:05pm - note to self 'don't bother in future') Mr Fuzz & I enjoyed it though so prehaps it's ok.

This afternoon I've decided to challenge myself to a fate worse than death - the tidying of my craft boxes. The problem is I have 8 large plastic lidded boxes and enough stuff to fill about 20. My craft stash is growing at an alarming rate, with no signs of slowing down, even for the credit crunch. Seriously, I need a craft room but I've no chance for a year or two yet.

Maybe I could actually make something - that would reduce the stash a bit!

Look on the bright side Angie, at least we get the school hols off, just imagine working full-time and only having 4 weeks holiday each year! I did a roast today too, amazingly Jack came back home for long enough to eat it with us, but like you I have no idea what he eats the rest of the time....I think his friends' Mums must take pity on him and feed him.We must have a natter soon, I'll email this week, have been thinking of you.

I have a friend who detests trick or treaters calling. She dips raw sprouts in chocolate and hands them out as 'truffles' :-O

I really enjoyed sorting through all my craft stuff recently - you might find stuff which inspires you to create?!

Hope it all went OK in the end - 8 till 4 sounds punishing!

Well now we've had a frost brussels are okay. I find myself feeding other Mother's teenage boys sometimes up to 4 times a week. Can't quite believe some of them have the most appalling diets there is one (rather fat boy it has to be said) who leaves all his vegetables and only seems happy to eat burger and chips.
