I haven't got any futher with my list tonight - lost the will after all that combing.
Just noticed half price listing on ebay on Thursday - I wanted to put a few bits on then so that is handy.
Watching BB (great tonight Embb and I agree about the body language).
I'm going to finish my list first tomorrow and then I might do the living room or family room depending on time.
Sleep tight allThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
I'm fed up - I really wanted to get so much done tonight but didnt as we had an explosion of blackcurrants in the kitchen. If I never see another one it'll be too soon.
- Up at 5.45 to get self ready for work, and iron shirt and trousers.
- Dropped DD off at mums on way.
- 8 hours at work
- Back to mums to find DD wants to stay the night but has no stuff - tuff she'll have to sleep in her t-shirt and I'll take clean stuff in the morning.
- Back home and made sweet n sour chicken for tea.
- Washed up as DS too lazy to empty the dishwasher for me (so now he can make his own sarnies for tomorrow)
- Tackled huge vat of blackcurrants and put through juicer. OMG what a mess I kept putting them through and forget to empty the pulp pot. Looked like blood spilling out everywhere.
- Cleaned up messy work surfaces
- Made 3 litres of blackcurrant cordial
- Attempted to make more jam but I had too much stuff in the pan and had to split it into 3 lots to boil it up quicker. Took until now to finish and I dont care if it will set now.
- Put both jam pans into soak
- Clear rest of stuff away from kitchen
- Empty TD and fold stuff
- Empty WM into TD
- Reload WM as DS wants his green shorts for Wed - told him he can learn to use machine as he still wont empty DW
- Make lunches for tomorrow - he can do his own now
- Pack a bag for DD to drop off tomorrow
- Iron more shirt/trousers for work tomorrow
Did manage to look at some of the thread at work so welcome to Bettiepage - hope you enjoy the buzz of A&E. I loved it when we used to go in (ex ambo)
