I suppose I'd better move myself - I think I'll go and make my apple and blackberry crumbles seeing as I'm supposed to be delivering 1 to FIL this evening!

Afternoon ladies.

Managed to do a HHC of sorts while both boys were sleeping. DS2 is being a pain and wanting me all the time today. :rolleyes: He's going through a phase where he has to be able to see me all the time. For the past couple of days he has had long afternoon kip, but today 45mins was all i got. In that time i:

• cleaned kitchen window frame/glass and sill, cleaned tiles on that wall,
• cleaned uPVC back door and inside/outside of glass
• put everything back on the window sill
• cleaned and bleached the sink and plastic drainer
• washed up breakie and lunch dishes
• watered my pepper seedlings
• emailed amazon buyer and discovered i have sold another book, so i have that to package and sort.

not as much as wanted but i have to make do i suppose until DH comes in. i really can't be faffed, and wishing i had not said friends could stop now, even though i'll enjoy it.

feeling really tired and have sore arms and back from holding ds2 and pushing the double buggy.

i'm going to have a sit down i think till ds1 gets up

Michelle - take it easy and try not to do too much!

First crumble is in the oven but second one wouldn't fit in so I've got to cook them one at a time!

Had my nap.. caught up on the list.. got a date tomorrow night with my friend .. both our hubbies will love that.. no idea why we never do anything we ought not do.. stupid men!!!

I can't decide whether to dash about the house with a cloth or undercoat the woodwork... what do we think??? I need to sand a bit and the sandpaper is in the shed.

Laundry dashed in while it rained.. it was dry.. just a bit damp now so 10 minutes in the dryer will do it.

I need to get my bed sheets on the bed too..

AND find a pattern for some draught excluders... I kniw they are just a sausage BUT I want something specific!.... hhhmmmmm I wonder if cuboid ones would work?

I just went down to the courtyard to see how I could use it. Once DF does something with the redundant motorbike there'll be lots of space (as courtyards go). The thing is-its really just a concrete slab that was laid but I guess its been there a while as its all cracked in places and weeds are coming up through the cracks.
How do I get rid of the weeds? ive only ever dealt with weeds in grass and soil (dig em up)
