    None of the rest really needs doing, so I'm going to leave it at that. It did make me realise that if I can Level 3 most of the house in a morning I really should try to do better on dailies so that it takes less time. It's not too bad, and there are only a couple of hotspots now (I just don't know what to do with the stuff in the piles :o).

    Now I really MUST pack, as I'm late...

    Those muffins were rather nice indeed with some carrot sticks, garlic-stuffed olives and a bag of crisps between me and DD. Lovely :)

    Mature Cheddar and Pesto Muffins - Mix 200g self raising flour, a pinch of salt, and some grated Mature Cheddar (I did about a handful). Whisk an egg and mix in 150g pot of yoghurt, 1 heaped tbsp pesto and 4 tbsp veg oil (was going to use extra virgin olive oil but as that was in the pesto, didn't want it to be overpowering). Pour the liquid into a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and mix lightly until just combined. Spoon into 12 muffin tins. Bake for 20 minutes at 200C.

    Back to the flying... not doing too badly. Think I may need to take some time out to express tho - right boob killing me and baby is asleep and fed :( ETA Did a bit more cleaning instead. Will now :)

    Sunnygirl - I'm probably too late but do have a happy holiday.

    I've been a busy girl and can cross some more stuff off the list. I've also done quite a large shop - we were getting low on stuff. I also got a marrow bone off the butcher to 50p which I'm going to boil up for stock.
