    My list is looking a lot better now. I've just been deleting them all as I go in a word doc so as not to take up too much room on here, but have managed a well-over 32 fling boogie (thanks pigpen) and have cleared out my handbag of loads of old shopping lists etc. Couldn't believe how much junk I'd been carrying around with me! Have also been going through one of the cardboard boxes from the move and found my missing recipes as well as chucked out a load of old work from children I've taught in the past that I don't really need to keep.

    Think I may take a leaf out of Greenbee's (I think it was her so apologies if I've mentioned the wrong person) book and get a book or file to stick my recipes into in an orderly fashion instead of having loads of bits of paper floating around all the time. If I'm not working tomorrow, I think that'll be my project for the day.

    Happy birthday to your DD Valli

    Thanks for the good wishes. They are putting another in next week as a goodwill gesture so that's a result:D
    Now off to e mail my relatives so they can send her virtual presents (I didn't know you could do that!)

    Me too :D I've been chopping oranges for a batch of Whisky Marmalade (it's now cooking in the Rayburn) and dying DD's Robin Hood cosume. Unfortunately, one of my rubber gloves had a hole in it, so my left hand is now a ghostly green colour :eek: :eek: Ironing to do next :o

    Happy Birthday Miss Valli :T

    Happy Birthday to your DD Valli!!! :bdaycake:

    I've been pretty productive this week. Major decluttering going on here. And things are looking better for it. :j :j :j

    OH left for work at 7.15 this morning, rather than his usual 8.00. Also DD2 is staying with my Mum, and DD1 had a school parliament meeting first thing. SO it was just me and DD3. Wow!!! what a difference to my morning!!! We were relaxed, got everything fished, and were ready to go by 8.20. :dance: Normally I'm screaming around at 8.50...late! So it was amazing. ;)

    So, I cleaned the bathooom, and started to prep dinner before we left for school! :D

    I'm going to make a start on one of the new cupboards I've bought for the bedroom.

    See you all later.
