Thrilling Thursday ~ Porch and Yard

Wipe down paintwork
Dust skirting and ledges
Vac floor

Level Three (Yard)
Sort out the freezer lid hinge
Declutter front border, pots etc
Sweep paths

If I've any energy left after that I might rinse the empty dustbin with some disinfectant

Natty - you could do colley (frozen fillet straight in the oven in some water to make it very moist) Pre cooked chick is fine if it is plain but can be a bit dry - you could try cutting it up small and soaking in a little water to rehydrate it a bit.

Just doing some paperwork.

Yes please for the teriyake marinade!! I was going to maybe do some chicken skewars with a honey and mustard marinade but might be swayed....
As for the pasta salad - do you add all those ingredients together in one big pot or have I misunderstood??

Yes i just chuck everything in together.

Marinade
2 tbls soy sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tabls rice wine vinegar
3 tsp runny honey
1 clove crushed garlic
grated fresh ginger (i don't put this in as i anm not keen).

Mix all together coat meat for at least 30 mins but the longer the better. I do overnight.

I have now calmed down enough to throw a rant on here... it has taken me the best part of an hour to do so too!!

The revolting little gremlins that I have the misfortune to have spawned have pulled down the curtain pole in the middle room.. 3 metres high so there is no way on this green earth I can get it back up.. bent it all out of shape no doubt ripped my curtains in the process, spilled milk and cereal all over my carpet in a room they are not allowed food or drinks in and I am REALLY REALLY angry.... DD3 has been banished to her room for the rest of the day, they are banned from any consoles for the rest of the week, which means they will be arguing and squabbling within minutes and I just want to murder them all!!

I WAS getting some food which I now cannnot stomach and I am ravenous..

I have 2 cleaning up the mess inthe middle room, one cleaning the mess in the kitchn and they are ALL cleaning the front room when they are done.

I am so utterly !!!!ed off with having them ruin every single thing I do to try to make the house nice.. why do I even bother???

I really hate it.. if I had destroyed stuff like this I would have been beaten all the way up the street and back again... and TBH I really feel like giving them a taste of it..

Right.. I may have calmed enough to go make another cuppa without killing anyone.. but.. we shall see..

Thats great - thanks sooooo much I have all these things in the cupboard aswell (except the garlic but I always have a tube in so will use that instead) so makes for a very cheap marinade :rotfl:

Valli

Dinner scoffed
am trying to pluck up the wherewithal to do some planning and prepping

oh and AnWsMum love your Freecycle ident...:rotfl: don't want any coathangers but they have been going. I offload to charity shops!

ETA aww Pigpen ...don't they drive you M-A-D-
DS has some homework to do. It will take him about 10 minutes. I have given him the choice homework or wash pots...
My mum asked him to go and help Grandad in the garden (for pocket money) he refused - you'd think he was Rothschild or something - but what does he do instead - fluff all!
