    Morning all

    I've been up about 45 minutes and before I sat down here I washed up and did the cutlery drawer. I'll update my list when I've done the rest.

    I'm off to make another cuppa and then watch casualty from sky+ before DH gets up. I've promised him most of the day playing on the PS3 and Wii - he's worked so hard I think he deserves a break.

    He's going to clean the hall/stairs/landing first and then do the study one night this week. And we're going to spend an hour on the bedroom togteher which should be plenty - it's pretty ok apart from the hidden dust under the bed! That just leaves me the kitchen and spare room which I will work my way through today.

    :coffee: anyone?

    morning :hello:

    i am in! won't be much of the lists yet again but heyho cleaning and tidying i will :rolleyes:

    irie i might see you there ;)

    I will look out for you. Hope to go from about lunch time and have lunch if available, haven't reserved food as I hadn't organised with my regular caching pal until Fri. I am leaving LOs with DH and doing some caching before heading home.

    Mats out to dry and nets in WM.
    The work will wait for you to finish showing the LOs the rainbow, but the rainbow would not wait for you to finish the work.

    I will like to make up some meatballs to go with it. I am thinking that I can cook them and freeze them in the sauce. I have never done this before. Any advise anyone?

    I make up a big batch of meatballs, and bake them in the oven, turning occasionally (that way you don't have to stand over a pan, watching them ;) ). I then freeze like that, and make sauce fresh each time. No reason why you can't freeze in sauce, though :D

    HTH, Penny. x

    Thanks Penny. Do you defrost overnight in fridge then heat or can they go straight in the MW?

    Morning all. Just read out little helpers list to DD1, she burst into floods of tears. Not a natural, then, just like me!
    Oh no, Christmas?
