    He's at his mothers! Why am I ready for the chicken? It's 1.20 we normally have dinner between 12 and 12.30 - why would I be waiting for the chicken?

    Afternoon all.

    Rach - thanks for the bread tip -I'll take a look later.

    DS3 been to his party and I managed to return all the stuff I needed to at that town and go to the dump to recycle a load more stuff.

    Not feeling great - sore throat and earache so going to be delegating rather than doing!

    DH going to take DS3 to golf.
    DS1 can cut the grass
    DS2 can deseed toms.

    I need to:

    make another pudding - yesterdays is all gone
    pot on wallflowers
    Removed blighted plants
    Cover DS1 books
    Print CC statement

    This evening I'll do the ironing.

    I've brought some half price dividers whilst I was out so I can start creating a file for my family history later in the week.

    Having smashed the keyboard about.. just in case any crumbs are stopping it working properly I now have spaces..

    A good workman ALWAYS blames his tools because his head is so big it couldn't POSSIBLY be his error... a good workwoman never blames her tools because she is confident enough in her own ability to realise sometimes things wear out... then she cries over their demise and invests in a new one carefully chosen.

  • hi ladies.

    had bit of a lie in this morning till 8:30, and have been trying to fly since about ten, but with a power cut in that time, and both boys to sort. dh put 4 boxes in the loft for me of boys clothes, and got back out 6 boxes (no wonder i never feel any further on!!!)

    Like nicki i also have 7 items finishing on ebay today so will be keeping an eye on them - 3 items already sold, one of those has 10 watchers, the other 4 items have multiple watchers, so pretty exciting. Usually i have to reduce the price to peanuts to get anyone to bid.

    Need to have a few more HHC's this afternoon. DH will be watching the boys while i do it.


    lots still to do this weekend:
    • visit parents - was brothers 18th on Friday, and he passed his driving test on thursday so i could do with congratulating him
    • change bedding on all beds
    • [STRIKE]wash load of bedding and load of towels[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]get 6-9 month clothes out of loft[/STRIKE] - try to get vests/babygros washed and ironed this weekend
    • [STRIKE]put 3 packed boxes in the loft[/STRIKE]
    • make roast beef dinner tomorrow
    • make parsnip and swede purees
    • [STRIKE]do some cleaning - not bothered where[/STRIKE] bathroom done
    • try to get DS1's room ready for him to move into
    • put the cot base higher for DS2 to go in
    • wipe up mould again in nursery
    • pack for going away Friday morning.
    • do a trial run of DS1s birthday cake to see if i can do it - 1 month to practice - bought this http://www.lakeland.co.uk/F/product/11521 and can't wait to see how it turns out and perhaps see if my choc cake recipe works in it. So will do a couple of trials i think
    Extras:
    • mould in wardobe cleaned
    • kids linen bin moved to bathroom
    • all clothes that currently fit DS1 in new wardrobe
