    Hi all.
    I will HHC at 11.15 IF kids are gone - because if I try to start while they are still here I will get interrupted.
    Thanks for the banana freezing tip Sarahshattered incidentally I wash (to remove the wax use HOT water) lemons, slice and open freeze them then put them in a polybox ready for use in Tanquerays (other gins are available - s'not Gordon's - s'mine;))
    but I have already made a start, I'm washed, dried and dressed, bed made,
    laundry - 2 loads - toewls and sheets are on the line.
    Most pots awashed and drying naturally (no DW)
    Rhubarb jam labels made - am about to put them on the jar.
    ExH on time to pick up kids! There's a surprise!

    Thanks Boddy for the congrats - two stars for doing what comes naturally - yammering on!

    So HHC at 11.15 definitely on!:T

    Ok I clean window and frame in master bedroom and hoovered floor and landing. Cleared a hotspot and wiped surfaces. Wiped house phone and switches etc. Tided DD bedroom and hoovered her floor. That's it I think.
