Good morning
I was clearing out the cupboard under the sink at work yesteray when I found a triple pack of jaffa cakes. I've no idea how long they've been there but they now have my name on them and I'll be eating them next week... well on Monday. I reckon a packet in the morning, one at lunch and the final one as an afternoon snack will be just fine!
This weekend I'm going to cut the hedge and hopefully mow the lawn at the back so that it looks a bit more presentable. Then I'm goint to register on landshare and hopefully find some sucker who fancies digging my back gardend and turning it into a veg-garden. There'll be no charge, except they have to dig over the existing veg patches too!
The other thing I'll need to do is sort my wardrobe into piles of clothes 1) I haven't a chance of slimming into ever so need to be ebayed, 2) will be ok post pregnancy and 3) can be worn during pregnancy. I may end up getting all my wearable clothes into just my wardrobe. The shock of having a wardrobe to himself might just give Wayne a heart attack!
Hope everyone has a great weekend.

That's where Wayne and I saw it; strange we both turned to each other at the said at the same time "should we register?" and "let's go for it"
To be honest, there's way too much garden for us to do. My dad's ok with his (half garden half veg patch) but he's had 25 years to keep digging it over and cultivating it!
Anyhow, my list of jobs for the weekend is as follows:
[strike]Make list[/strike]
[STRIKE]Wash clothes[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Hang washing on line to dry[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]have cuppa decaf tea[/STRIKE]the kettle's on so that's in progress
Collect last of chillis and peppers from papa's greenhouse
buy onions and mushrooms
lift vege mince out of freezer to defrost
have cuppa decaf tea and maybe a chocolate biscuit
make red-hot chilli non carne
cut left hedge at back (it's 130 - 150 foot long)
have a hot chocolate
cut right hedge at back (bit less than 130 foot long cos part of the boundary is fenced off)
have a cuppa tea
mow lawn and put cuttings in compost bins (hopefully Wayne will be home from work by then and will do it for me:D)
take lid of compost bin with wasp's/hornet's nest
have a cuppa tea
Ruthlessly go through clothes in wardrobe sorting into three piles (ebay, save for post pregnancy and wear through pregnancy)
list clothes on ebay
relax with a glass of non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice (from what looks like a champagne bottle, in a champagne glass - I can pretend I'm drinking when I'm not:p)DFW Nerd Club #545 Dealing With Our Debtnever attribute anything to malice which can be adequately explained by stupidity, [paranoia or ignorance] - ZTD&[cat]

SNags what are you doing with the camper thing - are you going to keep it?
Part of me can't bear to part with it, and I'm wondering if I could manage to tow it and set it up on my own.....but it's a bit of a scary thought.
The other part of me thinks it would probably be easier just to sell it.
No-one buys them at this time of year anyway, so it can just sit snuggled on my driveway until early spring, and then I will decide.
Bunny - I rang them but I need to ring back with details of the childminder that Ryan will be with during school holidays, and my P60 figure for last year (which I haven't managed to find yet, but I know roughly where it is). I should have it all sorted by Monday though."I wasn't wrong, I just wasn't right enough.":smileyhea97800072589250 -
