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
