  1. Hello and welcome from another Nicola! :)

  2. Aw thank you! It was actually one of mum's requests (she had planned the whole of her funeral and her wishes for when she died so we just had to obey!) and I often look at the sky and think of her. Roses are lovely flowers, they were mum's favourite as well. x

  3. Hiya, just wanted to say that I am thinking of you and your daughter - I am a single mum as well so I know how hard it is to get the work/home balance. Hope she starts feeling better about things soon xx

  4. Happy birthday! Hope you are having a great day! :)

  5. I am really enjoying it so far and it is making me laugh - it's so dry and representative of a much simpler time!
  6. I have had real big problems for the past few weeks with my reading. Nothing has been holding my interest. I have started so many books and put them back down again. But I have been able to read a lot of magazines (costing me a small fortune!) so I decided that a book of short stories would probably do the trick so today I started Saki ~ The Complete Short Stories which I received when about a year or so ago Penguin Classics ran a competition to be sent one of their books to review. The link was posted by one of our members on the forum and like a lot of other members here I never got round to reading it but now it seems to be just what I need! Horray! Here's the blurb:
  7. I thought the Smithy and England team was the best bit of the whole evening (apart from the lovely Robbie Williams back on out screens of course.)
  8. No idea as I am going to a friends for dinner tonight.
  9. I'm scared already! But i'll probably see it!
  10. The latest tally is as follows: 1st place: Jane Eyre (17 votes) 2nd place: Pride and Prejudice (15 votes) 3rd place: Wuthering Heights (10 votes)
  11. I like his other series that he does as well - Ross Kemp's Gangs - scary stuff.....
  12. Migraines run in my family as well. Mum used to get really really bad ones but thankfully I take after my dad as we both get our eyes going first before any other symptoms so we have enough time to take pain killers before it gets any worse. Normally ibruprofen works a treat for me and i'm ok again after about a hour. However if I don't take pain killers as soon as my eyes go on me I feel rough for ages. Haven't worked out the trigger yet though.....
  13. Happy birthday Susie! Hope you have had a lovely day! x

  14. Chicken in breadcrumbs, waffles and a fried egg tonight

    Your thread on writing book reviews has been removed as we have our own dedicated BCF Book Review Blog.

  16. Liza - we got him a refurbished laptop in the end, works a treat and didn't break the bank! Laura - I hope someone can help..
  17. Filled pasta and garlic dough balls tonight.
  18. Jane Eyre is one of my all time favourites as well. A wonderful book.
  19. My sister's BF is taking me on a witch hunt in Manningtree in April to show me where all the things happened! Can't wait, I think I will re-read it before I go!
  20. Happy birthday Jules, hope you have had a great day! :) x

  21. Snowed in? Wow! It's beautiful sunshine here! :)

     

    Have fun in the snow!
