    Morning all

    Two loads of washing hung round indoors, I had trouble finding enough space for it all and then when I put the laundry basket back in the bathroom there was another load on the floor. It'll have to wait until this lot is dry!

    Made cottage pie for dinner today. Prepped sprouts and carrots for tomorrow. Planning to prep sausages in bacon at some stage today. DD1 is providing the turkey (she gets one given to her from work every year) and that is supposed to be coming this morning so I've cleared a space in the fridge ready.

    Vacuumed through downstairs.

    Work this afternoon :(

    Off to catch up on posts.

    Sausage rolls in oven - will have a couple for my breakfast. Have done the rubbing in for my pastry for mince pies. Cake is finished and I'm covered in icing sugar and flour!!

    Have just received in the post a nice cheque from FIL. Will buy the telly for our caravan with it.

    Hope no one is getting stressed - remember people are important and that includes YOU - a perfect house is NOT important in the grand scheme of things!
    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.
