Sunday stuff

It's still dark and pouring down with rain...Maybe i should change the music on here to 'the sun ain't gonna shine anymore' LOL...The boys still went to the football with their worker...Even though the dons lost they still enjoyed it...I was worried about M going as last time (2 years ago) he didn't handle it well at all...He was fine at hampden when we go to see Scotland but not the local ground...He wants to go to the next home game now LOL...When their worker came to pick them up he asked them where their scarves were...I've told K to maybe think on that as a pressie from her along with hats...They won't be too expensive for her to buy...I didn't go to the gym...Instead i cleaned my part of the stairwell and put up my christmas lights and decorations there :o) ...It looks all nice and Christmassy out there now...Am not putting up the decorations in the flat until next weekend though...Have to much cleaning, wallpapering etc to finish before i put all them up.

Have no idea what to get their carer this year...I always feel like am copping out by getting him vouchers for one of the music stores...Last year M had won a bottle of Glenfiddich in the oct and i wanted him to keep that for their carer for christmas...Did i get to naaaa M gave him it the next time he saw him <sheesh> I guess i better go out tomorrow morning and find something for them to send to their father in the states...Something cheap and erm tacky and rubbish LOL...To go with the yuk chocs i got...I know it's christmas and should be pleasant and all that but no way not after the other week...Sainsburys had no geltine left yesterday so need to look in asda for lots...I still haven't found somewhere i can get orange food colouring...Years and years ago we had a brill shop here that sold lots of different colourings and flavourings...I used to make all different flavours of turkish delight...Now it just tends to be mint, lemon, strawberry and rosé...And sorry to anyone who asked but i never give my recipe for it to people...If everyone i knew started making it themselves then i'd be out of a job <ggg> Oh and i can't actually stand the stuff....I think it's horrible and it stinks when you make it :o) Right time to get load out of the washing machine and get the towels and bedding into tumble drier then put a dark load on.

You actually make your own Turkish delight?  I`m like you and can`t stand the stuff, I didn`t even realise that it came in any other flavour than the pink one! Glad the boys enjoyed the football. :-)
