Hope you have a good holiday Soappie

All the washing is dry now and folded and put away.

Dinner cooked eaten and washed up and put away. Bin emptied twice (after DH put leftovers including onion into my nice empty bin just so it could stink out the kitchen).

It's still chilly, bet it's going to be cold tonight.

Valli - Has the coffee gone cold or am I in time? i'm so sick of cheap instant coffee.

Welcome to SONHM and anyone else :hello:

Not much flying today, but have done 2 WM loads (one towels), hung it all up to dry, vacuumed the living room, done the washing up that OH left last night. Going to my parents for the weekend, so going to take all of the rubbish out to the bins on my way to the train station and persuade Daddy Dearest to buy me some more cleaning stuff.

I've got so much uni work to do on the train I had the most boring lecture in the world today, and found myself thinking about how much I could be cleaning at home instead. Oh dear, I think i'm becoming obsessed... No outside washing line so no matching pegs yet though :rotfl:

Toots I think it's definitely worth it, and it's so much better for us.... I'd rather have less meat, and it be really good quality, than meat from the supermarket all the time... but each to their own, and I'm not preaching! (much) :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Sounds like you've got your work cut out... I'd send the OH round to help if I could babes.
