Afternoon all
One load of washing already dry and put away so I've done the throws from the living room, one lot on the line and the rest in the machine now.
I dusted the living room and the computer desk and vacuumed right through downstairs.
Made sausage & tomato pie for dinner so I just have to turn the oven on about 12.30.
Good job the weather forecast is good if the forum is going to be down for that long tomorrow!0 -
Half way through the hoovering but needed my lunch. Off to finish it now.
Kids have football and cricket tomorrow afternoon so a good time for it to be down for me.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

Just checked my health insurance and SCRAPED in - had £12 benefit balance left on the old year which finished yesterday so I WILL get it all back as the new year starts from my next claim - phew - lucky or what.
Going to have my lunch now then I will fly, I promise!:o

The teens will be shovelling out their rooms over the weekend, so I stand a reasonble chance of getting that dancing banana!
I whisked downtown with DD this morning to see if we could get anything from the M&S Penny Bazaar - and although we were a bit late and lots of things had run out, we did get jewellery sets, mugs, chocolate, a drink, tea towel and frisbee! Very happy with that. They were collecting for the Kent Air Ambulance.
Lovely out today, so I'm off to the allotment this afternoon.
Love and hugs all round.

YAY!
So far today i've:
* walked and fed said puppy,
*fed the cat and changed her litter tray,
*been to the allotment and opened up the coldframe and checked on everything,
*dealt with the post,
*reorganised the fridge and freezer.
* made 2 banana breads as there was a glut of bananas and i don't eat them so rather then them going to waste thought i'd do something with them.
* Have dinner marinading in the fridge.
Got to get some lunch now, then i'm going to crack on with the lists and try to get me a star or 2
Hope everyones well! xx
