Toots where are you?? i miss your chitterchatter - and an update on how you are getting on?!

Dw unpacked and stuff put away.
Didn't do ironing last night, fell asleep after dinner and woke up at 9.30pm with cat2 ontop of me, so moved cat and went to bed.

Teflon mats, what do you do with them, are they for laying in the bottom of the oven to catch any drips etc? (sorry for asking a daft question)

Next question for those with chest freezers, I am about to get one, well in the next month of so.
How do you arrange your food in them, ie in types of meat / veg etc or just chuck it all in and hope it fits.
How over time do you know what is in there, do you hope it is all well labeled, or do you keep a 'stock' list on the lid of the freezer.
I have only ever all my life had a 2 draw upright type freezer and kept very little frozen foods and cook fresh from scratch, I now want to become more MS and batch cook and buy.

Going to hoover tonight
One of the cats has throw up over one of my cushions overnight, the label onthe cover says dry clean only, I'm not taking one cushion cover to the dry cleaners they will charge me an arm and leg to clean it, so I have chucked it inthe washing machine, hopefully it will come out ok, at the end of the day I think the entire cushion and cover only cost about £10, if need be I'll buy a new cover

Have a good day

Hi to all newbies

Hugs to all those that need them.

Morning all

grey, grey, grey day here today. And not much better weather forecast for the weekend. Not sure if I should wash my bedding today or leave it until tomorrow.

Mudders - I agree about the air plane - but what a fantastic pilot! Mind you, if he flew f4's before becoming commercial, his training would have been the best.

Dusty and others - re 1911 - I'm not particularly enamoured with it. It's very expensive and the search results don't give you much. I might just wait until Ancestry get it.

Not sure what I'll do with my day off. The damp man's coming at some point. I might just go and do the weekly shopping (and get as much as I can from the high street rather than Mr. T!). Pigpen's list doesn't look too challenging or time consuming. I have a large file full of planning stuff to comment on and three books which I haven't read. I also have a book to write! Hmmmm. I need to be firm and orderly I think!

I'm so pleased it's Friday the week has really caught up on me (not that I'm expecting too much rest this weekend). I also don't think I'm drinking enough as I'm headachey and lethargic so aim to drink more water today.

I didn't know about the aircrash until I went onto the bbc website just night - truly amazing.

Toots - I hope my get up and go has gone to you - if anyone else has it, please give it back.

Right I'm going to make a hot chocolate and go and sort out the bathroom cabinet. I've stripped DS3's bed so I'll put a wash on as well.

No idea - suspect it'll some point after 2011 :rotfl:. The 1911 site are going to put the enumerator schedules online later this year - they may work out cheaper to look at.

Have done zilch. Still not dressed. Had 3 cups of tea, a gazillion fags and just surfed. Enough!

I am now going to get dressed and fly!
