happycas i was on fire on the food round of missing vowels a couple of weeks ago. Not one missed. I don't know if being pregnant means that everything makes me think of food so my mind is quick to join the dots! Usually I'm rubbish.

My pleasures:

1. Applied for my working from home tax rebate. I'm only on 20% tax rate so mine will be more like £60, less than DHs £120 but I'll take it!
2. Accepted a 2 hour engagement for side gig end of Nov, probably last thing I'll do before mat leave. Will be £200 gross so that's good for the budget! 
3. Got two books in the post from a friend for my birthday. Have tucked them away for mat leave
4. Supper - vegan kievs, baby potatoes, asparagus, roasted tomatoes and kalamata olives. Yes, horribly out of season but it's what I wanted for my fancy birthday meal, which I won't have time to eat on my actual birthday because of French class!
5. A glass of nosecco and some online shopping. Got a gorgeous poetry book for my sister's birthday and have a couple of bits in my basket for DH for Xmas (he needs a new belt and wallet and I've found a maker on Etsy that makes them from recycled bicycle inner tubes)

13-15/52 - having some roof work done. Roofer advised that we should use the skip they'd hired for anything else we wanted to get rid of. We'd just gutted our utility so made good use of the space offered for all sorts of wood frames and cupboards!

16/52 - free sample used up

I just went out to pick up my new glasses and listened to a podcast on the way there and back. It's quite sunny and very windy here. My hair looks a total state, lol.

When I got home I got my husband to drag out my oven, fridge, washing machine etc... so I could vacuum and clean behind them as I haven't done that in a long while. Wow. It really needed doing.

I threw away some old pet blankets today and I bought some new tea towels so I'm cutting the old ones up and using them as cleaning cloths.

My husband is going to the charity shop today to buy some teddies as dog toys so I will see if there is anything else I can get rid of so he can take it with him!:)

Good Morning.

 I have been awake since 4,gave up on sleep at 5 and went downstairs.

 I made a chocolate orange reindeer and a Christmas Party brussels sprout to take to craft club for ideas for fundraising for the young lad. Both have been red hot sellers previously at the school I used to work at.

 I have given the Birthday drawers a third coat of paint. I have spent hours yesterday and today knitting and unravelling and knitting etc etc with some difficult knobbly wool that I was given. Enough time wasted I will give it to the chazzer.

 I could just go to sleep now, but I will be rash and get my sewing machine out to make some Halloween bags and possibly shorten my door curtain. That is one of my frogs.

 The trouble with lack of sleep is I need to eat all day to keep going.

Liverpool_Anne It sounds like a scam to me, very few people would go from door to door out of the goodness of their heart. But I await to hear what you find out!

I have a big bag of stuff to start sorting through later today, I will report on my progress later!

Mrs SD, impressed by decorating. I had aimed for my house being decorated this Autumn, but best laid plans. Almost no decluttering today, busy with work, but 2 admin frogs 1752 -1753

HI, some great work going on here and even if not as much as people would like ,people are still posting which is a positive. 

 Today didn't pan out quite as planned. It has rained all day so not conducive to emptying he shed. We went shopping for knobs for the drawers and I also treated myself to some vacuum storage bags. Not tried them yet. Also picked up some Christmas chocolate to add to my Mums gift.

 I have had a cull of pictures and mirror in our bedroom. I realised that I had just put pictures on nails that were already there. It didn't need it. It does need a throw though on the bed. I have had a rejig in the sitting room yet again. I will get it right eventually.

 A few things left the house due to washing up, draining board jenga. Also found an injured firefighters fund collection bin in local pub car park. A couple of things that were in the car posted there.

 will update numbers tomorrow.
