    Thanks Quillion honey - if you dont mind doing the stars this week that would be great -but only if you feel up to it??? I am sure I could manage if you dont.

    Forgive my bad mannners ladies - when I posted earlier I forgot to say Thank you for another hug in a package - it was waiting vor me - it had arrived last week and I could smell it as soon as I opened the front door - Yankee candle tarts a vanilla lime and a mango/peach salsa - heavenly!!! and lip balm, toottyfrooties, magnetic photo paper and a fabulous colouring book and crayons (I have never seen an adult colouring book!) and a lovely card - it was a lovely welcome home surprise!

    And thank you to Greenbee - your lovely card arrived today.

    You are all just so kind especially when you all have problems of your own to be concerned with - :A:A:A

    I am half way through last weeks thread.
    Have done 1 X WM - was hoping to get it hung out but it is raining on and off - I have just about run out of clean clothes!!!

    have been catching up on the thread, phone calls, emails etc
    have sorted out my medications as some needed ordering
    have organised something for my tea.

    hope you are all having a good day
    toots xx

    SS you freeze your ready made sandwiches???

    Yes!!! :D I make sandwiches / pittas / muffins / pizza / pasta / hot cross buns / sausages / fish fingers / spring rolls / etc etc wrap them up and freeze them.
    I freeze the yoghurt tubes too. That way, getting the lunches ready is just a case of getting the stuff out of the freezer the night before. :j

    I only make very basic sandwiches - ham, cheese or jam, obviously tomato or salad won't freeze, so if I've got time or inclination, I put a little tub of salad or tomato in their lunch box so they can add it if they like. :cool:

    It's so much easier to make a loaf's worth of butties in one go, rather than cope with children round my feet in the morning, moaning cos they don't want whatever they can see me making. :rolleyes:

    DD3 loves cold sauages or fish fingers with a little tub of sauce to dip them in. :D

    Plus, if I'm using the oven for one thing, I'll sling in a pizza to chop up for some lunches. :money:

    Also, I always box up the leftovers from dinner for Mr Sh's lunches. :money:

    Given that school dinners are £1.75 a day here, x3 children... I just couldn't/wouldn't do it!! :p

    That was a very lengthy explanation!! :)

    Just the sweeping, dusting, mopping and sorting the junk I've found to do.....wouldn't think I've been working on the room all day so far and there is so much more to do!! :mad: They better all tidy up after themselves in future. Only things of mine I have found is one book :rolleyes: yet it's me who has a box full of junk to rehome.

    Sarah - I do that too - but even if you take them out of the freezer in the morning, they are always defrosted by lunchtime..... Well, Mine DS is - Its quite warm in their little school though.....so I think while its defrosting, its keeping everything cool too. xx
