    Yep! ***grins***
    nearly had a marmalade disaster! I was potting it and thought that there wasn't much - then realised I had only put 2 pounds of sugar in instead of 4! Cue rapid return to pan, addition of 2 further pounds of sugar and a reboil
    Cleared out DDs 'Jump Dancer' used once if I recall...found instructions and all bits (I think) so will take to charity shop.
    While I was at it I hoovered out under the stairs.

    Have also been trying on my MBTs, forgot to do beforehand. Not sure about them as made my toes go a bit numb and pins & needlesy - mudbath or dusty - did you find that? I need to take them back asap if they're no good for me. Feet are quite wide so it could be that.

    So glad I put the dinner in the slow cooker last night the kids are off school sick and they only went back yesterday after a break.
    I'll be back later to try to keep up with the thread!
    I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged
  • I feel like I'm making excuses this week - spare room/nursery to be when she is big enough to sleep in there is full of stuff from our kitchen at the mo (we are half way through replacing kitchen, so half the cupboard stuff is in boxes in there!) so not much I can actually do.

    I will get the bit of the floor which I can get at cleared though, as it is covered in a big pile of babygrows I'm sorting out. DD is too big for newborn clothes now, so I'm pulling them all out to go into storage for next time (assuming there is a next time!). Seeing as we have been asleep most of the morning, and have a visitor coming in half an hour, I suppose it's for the best that I can't do much today. Oh, and no landing, as we are in a flat!

    I've already had a bit more of a tidy in the living room too (well... retidying after DH came home and made a mess on monday... should lock the door once the place is tidy so it stays that way ;) ) and put washing on and made lunch. Just need visitor to turn up, as I'm huuuungry!!!
