    Just got back from the Thursday with all our veg and meat for the week, plus a few cleaning materials for under £30. Am very pleased as we have been known to spend £150 at the supermarket, admittedly on a lot of other stuff too.

    I plan to declutter the LR floor and do a few bits while watching Grand Designs from last night.

    Sarah and Mr Shattered have a lovely anniversary! I’m so glad he bought you some beautiful flowers! That’s lovely!

    Hope everything goes well Mrs Mortenharket! Come back and tell us all about baby when you are feeling up to posting again

    So glad you had some sleep Piggers! That’s great! And the money too!

    Jill, your evening routine sounds exhausting! And stressful! Have you asked hubby to let you know when he will be home? My DH never used to let me know when he would be home, but now he does and it helps me no end to know when he will arrive!

    Well done Mooloo on aiming to do some flying today, that’s great.

    Hugs Mozzy, hope you are better soon. Get lots of rest and drink lots.

    Hugs Julie

    Good news GnB, now you don’t need to worry about it anymore!

    Wow Triker that’s a long list!

    GnB, Susan Boyle seemed so unlikely to be any good, and her voice is beautiful! I could listen to her sing all day! It’s such a lovely thing, she has true talent!

    Hugs Greenbee

    Hi Natty, hugs to you

    Oooh Holly that sounds painful. Shards of glass are not nice to kneel on!

    I have washing on the line, another load in the WM, and the contents of a cupboard decluttered in the DR. Only problem is some of the stuff is still on the DR floor. I've sort of moved onto my bookcases in the conservatory to see if I can persuade myself to get rid of any of them and then some of the stuff from the DR floor and go onto the bookcase - at least that's the plan.:rolleyes:

    Just finished dinner so I'm going back to it - anyone fancy a HHC 1 - 1.30?
