Wow pigpen - that cooker is nearly as big as my kitchen!!!
pollybear - welldone :T You've done loads - have a rest now!

Ooh - Wallace and Gromit - didn't get to see it on Christmas Day so will watch it now and then play on my Wii.

OH and other two boys back now. Made beans on toast/eggs as kids complained they were hungry - why can't me feed kids at proper times with proper food?

I've sorted another box of photo packets into order and put dates on the envelopes so they are in order to be done. 2 more boxes (shoe boxes) to sort before I start putting in albumns - don't want to start and then find a packet I've missed.

Feeling heaps better so going to brave the sales tomorrow with DS1 - think I'll try to off load DS3 to Mum. Tuesday we are going ice skating in Kew Gardens so I need to send OH upto the loft to find the ski gloves etc, it needs to be done so I can sort out for half term anyhow.

Dusty - you did add .uk at the end didn't you?

Managed to niftily postpone the ironing by sorting out the fridges seeing what needs to be used up. I subsequently made turkey rissoles using all the attachments to my new gadget (it came with the mince/sausage making thing) and have stuck them in the freezer. Beef has just gone in the oven for roast tonight. So, I've run out of time for ironing

Oooh, forgot to say the turkey carcass is now bubbling away in my big pot for stock for the freezer. I think I'll have to sort the freezer out tomorrow to make room for it.

I keep knocking things off this stupid tiny cooker I have at the moment lol.. My turkey remains are now cat food and soup and the last of my pork is frozen for another day.

Must.... Shower....

ETA Love the cooker pigpen - very similar to what my SIL has - think hers is a rangemaster(?) not sure.
pollybear well done - that was some re-rganising - a lot of work there!
froddy - well done - it all helps!

DD1 picked up and dropped off at home, folded 1 x load of dry washing and took it upstairs along with littleys bags.......we definitely need to get into her wardrobe & drawers as they are bursting at the seams :eek:

TD on again, gonna make a brew then sort out the tea, will wipe the benches etc down whilst I'm in there.

No it doesn't just to tempt you further WHSmith had some cracking labelled storage boxes in the other day all matching for £2.99 each - DD1 bought some but I was very good and didn't :A there's still time though.........:o

Pooh! the big bag of frozen chips I bought I've now realised are for frying and not the oven....grrrrr have to lug out the deep fat fryer now....we're having marksies Cumberland pie and chips - yum!

Toots - I have to be positive or after the year I've had I'd be curled up in a ball crying somewhere. Next year will be a better year - I've applied for a job I really want and I have great family and friends and feel a lot more positive since I started keeping the place clean and decluttering. I'm hoping it will have a positive effect on my weight too - apparently there's a connection between being overweight and having a cluttered home. So by the amount of stuff I have recycled/given to charity/sold on ebay I should have lost about 4 stone!! Determined to lose weight so I can start a family.
