I took a look at the OS preparing for winter thread. I don't think conditions are ever going to be so harsh down sarf that I will need to cook on a camping stove but it makes me look forward to winter.

I live in the SW, and we get power cuts lasting several hours now and then, which means if you are all electric and want a cuppa you need to get the camping stove and kettle out (one reason I bought a gas cooker when we finally moved somewhere where gas is available). Not necessarily in winter, but usually due to power lines or sub stations being damaged by weather, falling trees or whatever. London is probably much more reliable, but outside of big cities it can be an issue even for us soft southerners :rotfl:

Anyway, just started pouring with rain here today - OH won't be happy as he has gone to play golf :eek: My list looks like this:
Walk dog if it stops raining (no way he is going out in that, he says!) Done
Ring dog groomer re dog's needed haircut and hairdresser re changing date for mine, and do not get appointments muddled :rotfl:Done
Check banks Still to do
Clean bathroom Done
Check for surveys Not many today!
Take new stock to sales unit, bring back some of the unsold stuff and put it away Done, phew! I should be thinner than I am, with all that traipsing up and down stairs with boxes!
Try and avoid going supermarket shopping for another day This largely depends on whether OH is happy to eat what we have got (still a considerable amount) rather than preferred cereal etc that we have run out of. OH decided to take himself off to the supermarket, forgot the list, forgot his flippin cereal but at least only spent £9.15. He even managed to get 4 of the things off my list, more by luck than judgment I am sure
OH did at least return an unused pot of the paint he bought the other day for a refund
HM meals from plan, pork steaks, HM oven chips (Hairy Bikers diet ones) and vegetables planned for dinner, leftover pasta or fridge bits for lunch Done
Go through fridge to see what needs using or freezing included some mushrooms with dinner, sliced and froze the rest.
Used some French beans and a big tomato with dinner
Used up 2 gifted but not very nice pears by peeling and chopping, mixing with some apple slices from the freezer and the bowl of raspberries picked yesterday, and adding a crumble topping
Also made a batch of scones

There will probably be more, let's see what the day brings

DNMS- I'm so glad that madam had a good first day at school, I miss those days.

I have been trying to read along where I could. where I was staying for the sporting competition the signal was shocking.I am so overtired it is untrue. I would have to be up at 5.30am to make sure everyone was where they should be. I also ate so much with 3 square meals a day that I have just gone off food.
Arrived home Sunday night and had the decorator and plumber coming in with further decorating and to put in a heated towel rail yesterday. Didn't really want yesterday but it was the best time to get the plumber and a good job as well as he found the boiler was leaking-I thought the cat sitter had been a bit enthusiastic with the cat bowl washing when I found a pool of water!!
DD did well, double gold and has been picked up by GB.
No spends at the competition, and decorator monies all ready and accounted for.
Have to buy a few bits to for DD for uni, will be an expensive start to the month, but it should even out with just feeding me once she goes the end of next week, then it will be keeping monies aside to help her with her sporting competitions.
Her boyfriend is coming to stay at the weekend, apparently he likes his food and eats like a horse, so I am ready to raid my stocks and will also get some shopping in at Tesc@-they have sent me thru some new vouchers and the tinned cat food that my gang like is 25p a pack cheaper there.
Have a good day everyone, even though the weather is miserable x

Only things in the pipeline for today is freezer lunches and then a small tea before we go to pub quiz tonight where supper is included.
Got some ironing to do but not sure I'll be that good today!
Written a list of items I want to get finished for stall I've got booked for Xmas, if they don't sell they'll do for Xmas presents/etsy/donations

The girl did good, HappyKitties, you must be so proud!

I'm having a quick cup of tea before ringing the printer but I have:

Registered to sell on Amazon
Bought my domain (though won't put up a shop for a bit)
Registered to get my first 1,000 bar codes, should keep me going for a while :rotfl:

I'm waiting for someone to ring me back to talk about product liability insurance.

That sounds like a mare of a day, CCL, enjoy putting your feet up!
