    Arran is a wee bit too close Beanie, but lovely. DS saw a pic of Eilean Donnan castle today so he now wants to go see it!
    Hope you enjoyed your free dinner last night and that it filled DS up for a while.
    off for dinner - at last!

    So far today I have:

    Done another load of washing, line dried it and ironed that and the remaining ironing.


    It has been the day for washing...I'm leaving my ironing until tomorrow... :whistle:
    Gone for a walk with DS followed by a scone and nice coffee - whoops not very MSE.


    May be cheaper to buy 2 scones than make a dozen. Certainly easier to work off a single scone in the gym than the half-dozen you'd "have to use up"....
    Swimming with DS - at gym so paid for already.
    Made lots of things with mince.... defrosted some bargain stuff I bought to make lasagne only there was too much so now there's lasagne, bolognese and shepherd's pie! Just hope there's room in the freezer! Just waiting for lasagne to come out of the oven cos I'm starving.


    Very MSE... :T
    Working tomorrow - boo!!!!

    I'm not. :dance:

    Well - let's ignore the ironing...

    Try some 70 or 85% chocolate and then check back. The likes of Thorntons (from memory), Galaxy and Cadbury's is generally very sweet and sticks your mouth together.

    You are probably right but I think from a diet point of view I might leave it for now! sadly, feeling repulsed by chocolate is a probably good thing for me.:o
