Morning (just about) all. back from chineese supermarket and allotment. The bad split on the way in though, spilling the litre bottle of chilli sauce so it smashed on the floor and went anywhere. Luckily it was on the landing outside the flat, rather than inside, but still had to spend 10 mins cleaning it up with baby watching and screaming at me cause she was hungry
will have to go back tomorrow and get some more now!
It's going to be one of those unproductive days again - we're going to my Mums for lunch in an hour, so by the time baby is full up and changed it will be time to go out again. Hopefuly we can escape early enough to get some bits done this afternoon!

Posting first and reading after, I've just put the computer on.
Lovely sunny and windy day, one load of washing already dry and put away.
The front grass has been cut (did the back yesterday).
Made a fruit cake, which is on the cooling rack now.
Vacuumed right through downstairs, after dusting in the living room.
Watched The Mentalist and ER (had to be done).
Hope everyone's OK, off to catch up.
greenbee - I really like that table, I'll take it off your hands if you decide you don't want it.....
Poohbear - hope the wedding day goes off smoothly
Dusty - thank you for posting, I always look for your posts, hope everything is OK.
Triker - onwards and upwards, hope things start to work out.0 -

Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -
I have to confess I went shopping instead. Glad I did though because I got this bread bin for £15 in TK Max - wanted it for ages but thought £30 was a lot. Just need some worktops to put it on now! Also a new 400 count duvet cover for us as the old one finally wore out this week, and a new frying pan. Whoops.
Anyway, just going to grab a quick drink and set off on a HHC 1-1.30 if anyone wants to join me?'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0
