    In again, done loads of batch cooking today.

    Managed 2 pork in gravys,3 large curry base sauce courtesy of Curry Queens excellent recipe and 7 beef in gravys all in foil or plastic containers.:D

    Also managed to clear kitchen bin, twice.

    Cleaned the little box for veg peelings which had been left outside and stunk horribly. So now can deposit all veg stuff in here and then plonk in compost bin outside.

    So begins another week and DD1 (aka Satan at the mo, due to extreme moody and grumpy behaviour) has 2 exams tomorrow.

    So I'll await her return and don my body armour and tin hat and await the onslaught of general grumpiness.

    Anyways hoping Toots and Pigpen gets all healified and feel better this week. :heart:

    Valli, Soappie and Quillion, thanks for stepping up and keeping things in the thread going. Much appreciated.:hello:

    Tag, so sorry to hear of your news, hope all is ok with you and you can sort out/resolve what you can as quickly and as painlessly as you can.:grouphug:

    I'm in again next week, already started on tomorrows list, just arranged for a freecycler to come & collect my wall unit tomorrow night. (One way of getting jobs done, get rid of them). :rotfl:

    Thanks for the lists Pigpen, I do hope you'll soon feel better.

    Big hug and healing vibes for Toots, I'm missing her very much.

    Thank you to Valli and Soappie for being last weeks HSstarsmilie.gif queens, and to Quillion for taking the baton for this weeks HSstarsmilie.gif queen. (This will have taken a weight of Toots shoulders).

    HS32347.gifto LadyL hope you receive good news next week.

    Hugs & healing vibes for anyone else who needs them.

    AnW's mum - Thanks for the update on Toots ... I hope she knows how much we're missing her - she's going to have a lot of catching up to do when she gets back!

    We probably won't see her for another 3 days after she get's home so that she can catch up on the thread!!!!

    Keep forgetting to say that Rhys is sooooooooooo cute Vanilla, no wonder you aren't doing any flying, he is gorgeous, take as much time as you like starring at him. They are only small for such a short time.

    Right my bed is calling, see you all on the morrow ;)

    Hmm.... after spending the evening trying to catch up on last week before this week starts my daughter who is 6 came in to the kitchen and asked who was coming to visit - think she only ever sees me clean and tidy the place when we are expecting company! x x
