Morning all, sorry I have not read yesterday's thread so hope you are all ok.

Only on day 4 of the holidays and lack of flying is really showing so I've just done a HHR (half hour rescue) of the kitchen.

Going to hoover all of downstairs in a minute and finish my dailies.

We have sunshine so I want to make the of it and do a bit in the garden this morning.

DS3 at mum's but I forgot to leave his booster seat so I'll have to drive up and get him later for swimming lessons.

Morning all

I have just spent the last 40 mins catching up on here when really I could have been doing something - no time now as have to get ready for work ----hehehe

I promise I will do some from the mega list tonight - it was jsut that I didn't get home from work until after 7, spent some time trying to help Mum who was visited by a very large black dog and had stopped taking all of her meds so felt really rough aswell. Then spent some time with DD - acutally talking - she had made me a cup of tea and cleared/cleaned the kitchen work tops and hoovered kitchen - lovely not to see a mess as soon as you walk in the back door.
DS sent me a draft of his statement at work but didn't come down to work on it.
He also did more digging in the garden.

Right off for my shower - I will take up some of the hanging washing so that the rail does not fall over!!

Hugs to all those that are poorly!

Thrilling Thursday ~ Master bedroom! Done!!!:D:D:D
Level One
Level Two
Level Three

Did this yesterday, I'm off to do the bathroom as soon as OH declutters himself to work...While I'm waiting, I think I'll try and finish clearing the kitchen hotspot.

Thank you very much to soappie and Penelope Penguin for the courgette recipes, am now worried I may not have enough courgettes....:rolleyes:

:hello:Hi dusty! Have fun in the garden. I'm going to do some pottering in the garden this afternoon, as long as I'm not doing taxi service. I want to add some pretty flowers to my main sunny border - it looks a bit gappy since I cut back the oriental poppies.

Triker - look after yourself, and I hope you're feeling better very soon.

was it valli that mentioned the trug? A lovely present from my sister, a proper Sussex trug. She gave it to me years ago, and it was so lovely I never used it, then I realised that she didn't give it to me to leave lying around in the garage so I take it to the allotment with me every time for harvesting. Much nicer than plastic carrier bags! You can't see in the picture, but one edge section is broken - I put it down behind the car, forgot, and reversed into it... I must take it back to the shop for repair one day.
