brrr! it is getting cold outside!
more achivements for today:
delivered all avon - everyone in and had money :T
lodger transferred £125 to my account in anticipation of new watch
despatched lodger to evening out (made sure he had keys, money, phone & left behind all cards!)
tidied front room a bit (incase lodger comes back drunk and falls over)
still have not put loo roll holder up after new years incident so no need to worry about that :rotfl: :rotfl:
chicken casserole and baked spuds are nearly done - one of my fave easy meals to cook - smells lovely!
will make a cheese and pickle sarnie and leave in fridge incase lodger gets back hungry (will stop him eating my nice stuff - i have learnt in the past that this is easiest)
heating is on and house is toasty warm so will snuggle and watch two films later
fayjmck - i also am known to go out in my pj's and slippers (only in my own street or in the car though!). pj's are a big thing in our street as lots of people are related so it is quite usual to pop over to 41 and see people in pj's there from 37!!! have also been known to go to the shop in my smart pooh bear jammies and slippers (with a coat!)
going to have lovely dinner and films now
hope everyone has a great evening and i am looking forward to our new 'weekend' thread tomorrow
love to all
