    That takes the biscuit!!! They should be out looking for people who park in disabled bays who aren't disabled.:mad::mad:

    And don't even get me started on people who park in mother and baby spaces who haven't got children!!:mad::mad:

  • hi guys

    A bit late today - been busy and not on the laptop - now settling down to some work so a quick blast on here.

    Today
    Batch cooking (curry, spag bog, roast, pasta, rice and some banana cake) added oatss to the curry and the spag bog and a handful of tvp mince as well so they have bulked out nicely. Used some OD tomato juice (10p) instead of a tin and its worked a treat.
    Prob hob nobs later on
    Tea list done
    pack lunches for tomorrow need sorted
    Chickens fed - two more eggs
    Walk dogs later on and take darwin for a spin maybe take some hot choc as well for a treat!(Might go to a beach that's good for washed up wood to collect as well but don't tell the kids)
    Check seeds and propagator
    Think about starting to think about listing plants on ebay - lots of things coming up all over garden that we dont need
    Pick some flowers for the table and the porch not buy any
    Input electric reading
    Make a plan to dress beds with leaf mould this week instant tidy up of the beds and make the land lord think we have been very very busy :)
    Hokey cokey underway - load number 4?
    Moved wood in the garden and the boys sawed up some more logs - I get twitchy if there aren't any logs about
    DD just got two new fish
    Need put a bed in lodger room as he has a pal staying over one night
    Phoned lady on freecycle about the desk she offered us for new lodger

    (one moves out on Friday this week, one moves in a week later to give us time to get organised)
    Check bank and move some money to hairy loan
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:

    Good morning!!

    Today I will:

    -Hang washing outside (lovely bright morning)
    -Cook roast chicken for tea and make it last more than one meal
    -Do some gardening - lots of tidying up to do. It seems that lots of peeps on here are very dedicated gardeners doing things with seeds & greenhouses - unfortunately I am not.....I have always just bought stuff from garden centres for my pots & hanging baskets!! Will have to rethink that this year!
    -Go for a bike ride with the DDs

    So hopefully should be my first NSD since I became a DFW last Thursday!!


    ok......well slight change of plan!! Did a meal plan for the week - Good thing -so had to do small shop to get things needed - bad thing!! Stuck to list though - Good thing!! And got a £6 off wys £40 tillspit which will be great for big shop next week - Very Good thing!!!

    Gardening - done loads, and wooo hooooo me & the DDs have planted seeds!! Forgot they had had some little kits for Christmas - one for flowers and one for lettuce, toms & peppers!! So we've planted them in little pots, & placed carefully on sunny windowsill and fingers crossed!!

    Done lots of tidying in the garden too, filled a bag with leaves/weeds etc, cut grass, swept patio, its all looking lovely in the sunshine!! :D
