Better go and have a look at dinner. It's a lovely recipe of my mum's - barbecued pork casserole (or lamb). I don't normally like barbecue sauces, but this one is tasty! When I moved out from home I got a pretty notebook and wrote in all my fave recipes of mum's and have gradually accumulated a few more now of other people's. When I try out the one's all you guys have been posting they will go in there.
Who was it that wanted recipes to freeze? I have loads, including what I'm making today.

Good afternoon flyers


This is the first sit down I've had since I posted last I only stopped because I was hungry and realised I hadn't made any lunch for myself, stopped in the middle of something made the kids theirs then just got back to it. Baked tattie now decluttered, coffee and fag in progress. Kitchen squared up, I don't believe it the dog has just came in and walked all over my clean floor:mad: I'm not doing again no doubt after tonight it will be needing doing again anyway! I need to sitck my bedding in the washing and get some clothes on is house work in your Tinkerbell jammies allowed:rotfl:
Still waiting for DHL to pick up my parcel, hopefully they will be here soon. I'm off to catch up on the thread and then get the pasta on for dinner. I won't be in later so I'll catch up with you all in the morning.

Dinner is bubbling away now. It only takes an hour to cook but decided to get it done before I'm too tired. Chucked in a load of veg on top to steam. All I need to do now is cook the rice, reheat the casserole when we are hungry later and serve up!
Realised I need to re-write some of the recipes tho, as the ink has faded!

Going to lie down and read my book for a while.
See you all later!

Ok - have amended my list a bit for when I get home tonight. Have deleted the things Ive already done (cos then it doesnt seem so long :rotfl: ) and have changed some of the items........really want to tackle the airing cupboard, but Im sure I will get round to it eventually! Another day......

Tea should be really quick tonight; took some homemade soup out of the freezer this morning and having that with some wholemeal crusty rolls, so shouldnt take long to heat up.

Then my plan is to run round the house with the hoover and the duster which should clear off a lot of the list! Quickly do the windows and mirrors that I need to and then will do the binbag dance!! After that it will be ironing.

I have cleared out my handbag whilst Ive been at work, updated my Grocery challenge total with the receipts(:eek: ) have also sorted out paperwork including new DDs for credit cards which Ive been meaning to do and of course, sent off my cheque for the ING account which I found out about this morning thanks to this post!! Thank you :T

Well done too all you fly-peeps who are getting on with things!! Well done x

Hope your all ok and love'n'hugs to those who need them - I STILL havent caught up with the thread properly - will try again tonight but will hopefully be in a bath with lots of bubbles and a glass of wine! xxxx

I'm now trying to work out if these cleaning is housework or therapy! Slowly things are getting decluttered and sorted!

The biggest job will be a TOTAL declutter of the spare room for when our adoption application gets approved, and a child is placed with us. These slow and steady spare room steps are gradually starting to get me on task...

Hi All

So far today I've done a HHI, stripped my bed, washed the bedding which is now in the TD and been to work!

Froddy, lil-me and anyone else who may know - can you recommend any websites with activities or resources to use with an autistic child? PM me if you can help.

I've got loads of work stuff to do tonight and the house is like a bombsite but hey-ho!

Hope you're all having a good day

All done for today :j also done all the dailys and washed the front and back doors down i do wonder what i used to do everyday before i started flying :rotfl: :rotfl: . Am cooking tea as i type so hob will be a quick swipe after , i now only have my bedroom windows, DD's windows and the dining room ones to do before i have done every window in the house :j (which have never been cleaned in the same week ). Oh and i bought myself a new mop today so i'm hoping i will save some time by using a full mop head instead of a rather sparse one.
