    give new cooker a quick clean!

    New cooker being delivered today - found website address in confirmation email yesterday lunchtime to check so I didn't have to phone late last night - "Your product will be delivered on Tuesday 21st April between 12:30 and 16:30." so that gives me a few hours to clean the house in case they see my messy places. Don't you hate that when they insist on relighting the water boiler or checking other appliances? I hope they don't this time cos I like my privacy and can light the flippin water heater myself.
    Looking forward to the new cooker, yesterday I even found myself thinking "this is the last time I will cook this on this cooker" and it was like a kind of ritual! Like when I cooked my indian herbs for hair washing, and then I planned to make my favourite meal of Spinach Risotto but got a frozen pizza instead. What a fitting meal for tonight, to celebrate cooking on a new stove! Hopefully all being well I'll stir my Risotto with pride and love :D.
    Right, one more game of Midas Solitaire and I will away for a good old house session.

    Bit sad because one of the hens was dead on her perch this morning. Not a mark on her and she hadn't been laying so I am guessing natural causes rather than Ben damage or the others picking on her. They are working animals so not that sad but just sad that I didn't even spot she was ill and do something to help her. Not a trapped egg or anything so probably nothing I could have done. She had a happy free range life - what more could a chicken ask for?

    Working today so will finish my list later on.

    Morning all

    Lovely day again, one load of washing out on the line.

    I did the kitchen yesterday and the living room etc. this morning so two stars please Toots :)

    Well done to Flylady's DD :)
    Hope your Dad is OK Mudbath
    Freya is a lovely name :)
    Mozzy and Nicki, hope you both start to feel better soon.
    Sorry about your hen Hex, but as you say she had a better life than many.
    Emily - Pigpen likes to keep us on our toes by changing things round, but I can't cope with that so I stick to the same rooms each day of the week, the original ones when I first came on here. As long as we're doing something, eh? :)

    I remembered to book up boiler service for next week, I was supposed to do that yesterday but I forgot.

    Waiting for shopping to be delivered now. Hope everyone's OK.

    Mudbath - lots of healing vibes for you dad

    hex2 - (((hugs))) for your chicky

    Flower - congrats to your DD

    ladybird - thanks

    nicki & mozzy - get well soon

    Emily - I don't think Pigpen wants us to get complacent :rolleyes: but there's no reason you can't do the rooms in the order you want to (like Pollybear). As long as you do up to level 3 in each toots will still give you stars

    I've been for a swim, put a load of washing in as the sun is shining, had breakfast so now I really need to get on with my paperwork for this afternoon! (And get another load of laundry done, do my handwashing and tackle the ironing :o)
