So, we added gelatin to a pie they made, made pastry to bring home, & made a pie with pastry they'd made & chilled & brought that pie home to bake & add gelatin to. All well worked out & thoroughly enjoyable! Add to that a lunch of cheese, biscuits, salad, chutney & of course pork pie!

The kitchen area set up with equipment for making pork pies

My (almost) finished pork pie. It needs baking and the gelatine adding.

Made me some trousers today. Going to wear them for work tomorrow 😊

The youngest child had their prom. I am impressed by her style. I made the trousers 🙂

Front of their trousers, there are chains hanging from them and 6 buttons on the front.

The full outfit; tailored velvet jacket, knee-high docs, and frilly shirt.

Friday and today were INSET days, and I made some very important notes. Got to actually teach tomorrow. Ffs.

My hallowe'en style doodles. I simply can not just sit and listen.

My daughter sent me this reel on Instagram, so I just sent her a quid.

It's a screen grab of an Instagram reel. The text says: "it's june 9th today! Happy National Transfer Money to your daughter day. You can't say no!"

He's alive, ALIVE!!

Mrs Chops@woolychops· Jun 6

Gotcha!

Last night, I wondered what the fuck the dickheads were up to. Chewie had a mouse. Turns out, the mouse was alive, & still is. Somewhere in our bedroom. Cleaned out the cupboard under the sink to find the (humane) mouse trap. It is now deployed with grated cheese & flaked almonds.

Chewie, aka "the dickhead" is a chocolate brown spaniel. Here, he is seen with tissue balancing on his nose with the head of a little mouse poking out of his mouth.

The youngest child is painting her leavers shirt. Currently obsessed with all things cowboys inc Red Dead Redemption.... this was her WIP as of yesterday.

The characters from Red Dead Redemption painted on the bottom of a school shirt.

It's amazing what one can achieve when one is not drowning in sodding marking. Yesterday, these were but a vision in my mind!

Red and pink stripy cropped wide leg trousers with an elasticated waist. I am wearing a crabby grey t-shirt and converse.

The back view of the same stripy trousers. The stripe on the back picket runs horizontally, opposite to the legs.

The same trousers but I'm being a smug twat and showing off the pockets.

I am assured this picture shows the lovely hem. There is an array of cushions on the floor because we have 5 dickheads, aka spaniels

Today was a day for website development, motorbike viewing, cake baking, and cake eating. Made all the more fucking glorious because no work tomorrow! Huzzah.

I made trousers today *smug face*

A very large leopard print on a pair of trousers. The trousers are bright green with a black and pink print. This is the front view.

So, did you do anything over the Easter break? Yes! Yes, I did. I lay in bed having extra love ins with Ripley cat, and she purred her wonky purrs, and we had love.

Ripley cat. A beautiful tortoiseshell cat is cwtched up against me, purring her wonky drippy nose purrs.

Ripley and Dandy say hi.

Lots of aching bones, one bad back and one fat lip, but by god, we did it! Got to shift that bookcase tomorrow and add the handles to the wardrobe !

A newly assembled Ikea wardrobe. 2 of the doors are green, the middle one is a mirror. It doesn't have door handles yet.

Popped down to Morrisons fish counter this morning, learned I should have gone yesterday as they do 20%off fish on Fridays, but I still declare this a success. Made some batter, deep-fried it, toasted brioche buns, and served with chips and salad and OH MY GOD! That was epic!

My daughter bought a ridiculous frog on a uni visit to China. She has carried it everywhere & he became a sticker. I would like to highly recommend getting your dino onto a pair of socks. One of the best presents i gave at Christmas!

A ridiculous pot frog. He looks confused.

Mrs Chops@woolychops· Feb 15

So I googled it because I guess in some weird retro way, it's kinda cool. Found 2 listed on eBay, circa £150! I guess I got some fuel money after all.

Parcel handbag. It looks like a cassette player. Listed for £155

We have started on the cake.

A Christmas cake decorated with royal icing and a simple marzipan holly sprig in the middle. It's on a glass cake stand, which is on a wooden tabel adorned with a white lace tablecloth.

Beano chops!

Mrs Chops@woolychops· Dec 24

Look at his little face!

Beano the black cat rolled slightly so I can see his cute little chops

Mrs Chops@woolychops· Dec 24

Beano is having a tough time.

A black cat lies on his side, upon my lap. He is asleep. But not for long...

It might be tricky to carve if I'm honest. A mutant red grape in the shape of a teeny tiny pumpkin:

Mine are generally not everyone's cup of tea. Creepy crawlies mostly. Right knee, spider each side. I've had two nails with a web on the back of my left arm, too, but it's difficult to get a pic.

A black spider with a blue crescent moon on its back. 2 droplets of blood at the front of his fangs. It's on the inside of my right knee.

Ripley is especially helpful this morning.

Mrs Chops@woolychops· Sep 2

Here she is. Well, half of her. What an absolute joy! My Y10s are going to be so excited when they see it for the first time tomorrow!

Before the makeover. A messy food classroom being used as a textile room. It was messy and chaotic.

After! This is just the left side. You can't see my beautiful belfast sinks on the right but they're there!

I'm not convinced I could get drunk on Disaronno, it's just dessert in a glass.

Mrs Chops@woolychops· Aug 7

2 of these each. I dunno, like I say, we both think they help.
