    Morning All

    DS woke up at 5.40 even though he had a late night so didn't go to bed until 9pm. I have plans to go blackberry-picking this morning and then make apple and blackberry crumbles. I've also got an appointment with the nurse at 2pm and we are going to my parents' for tea so shall go there about 4. I could make a start on DS's bedroom or I could just carry on with downstairs.

    First off though I'm going to wash my dishes as I didn't end up doing them last night.

    Have a good day all

  • oh, by some strange coincidence my own little routine has dovetailed with thrilling thursday!! how encouraging - beds were done, paintwork dabbed at - looks lovely and clean this morning. Today it is big ironing pile, curtains wash(that was on the flylady list wasn't it) and then allotment (weed, water, take some veggies round to my loyal old friend who is a cleaner by profession and fantabulous at it, always got advice, makes her own cleaning things, house smells like a perfume factory, carpets always wet from a wash!).
    Packing for Alton Towers weekend - can't wait to get there...
    on school uniform, bought all new shirts but boys hate new clothes and insist on old trousers and shoes so I will be slipping them in gradually over next 6 weeks - easier to budget that way. DS age 14 is starting motor mechanics course and had to have steel capped boots and boiler suit - luckily got friend in motor trade who got them at staff prices but still £52 for the boots.

  • Good morning everyone! DH and I had a mammoth sausage-making fest last evening, so I didn;t get a chance to get back on. We made about 5kg, which should keep us going a while :D We've made apple, Calvados and clove; pork and pigeon; and coarse ground pork. We're serving them to friends tonight, as a "shop-window" to them being sleeping partners in our pig-rearing enterprise ;)

    Happy Birthday to lil-me confetti2.gifHS473949fjm3tcg78d_7404.gifHSgiftbox.gif

    Todays list- the scored through stuff was done on Wed night when I did Master, DS and spare room.
    The stuff in italic is done regularily but all is tickety-boo just now.
    Perhaps me and DS will spend this time doing something craft orientated (which did not happen yesterday as did some filing afterall!).
