    Missed it again! I will start late.

    No worries, better late than never.

    It was quite a productive HHC

    I vacuum packed as much bedding as possible but I didn't have bags big enough for the quilts so I am going to get some in town when I meet OH in about an hour. I also cleared the bed in there so the list now looks like this:
    • [STRIKE]Vacuum pack bedding[/STRIKE] Finish off tonight
    • [STRIKE]Find home for left over stuff on bed[/STRIKE]
    • Package stuff up from course at work and put in loft/put away
    • Work out what to do with other stuff in room
    • Tidy on top of wardrobe
    • Move chair back downstairs
    • Put shelves in cupboard for books
    Had a phone call from OH to say he will be out later for a couple of hours, so instead of watching tv I am going to carry on with my mission. I want to:

    finish vacuum packing the bedding
    possibly sort out the stuff from my course
    if I feel brave I will clean the oven but I am hoping that when OH sees my hard work today he will offer to do it for me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    oh well I can always dream

    That's sounds nice - how did you make it? I love HM soup for lunch practically every day. Could you post your recipe when you get a moment?

    Just off the wipe out the microwave and then tackle HHI at 4pm

    Greenbee have a wonderful time. *happysigh* I had such a nice week down there at easter. :)
    Hopefully you'll get back here again next year!

    No flying done, but I've been to see my cousin to get advice about having a stove put in, and also been up to the shop for a gossip and a giggle ... some silly woman had parked on the side of the road (single track) - clearly to mean to pay for the car park like the rest of the world and when the delivery lorry tried to get past it took the back bumper off. So the shop called the traffic guys, reassured the lorry driver that it wasn't his fault as this happens all the time, and then we stood and watched for a bit (well, no traffic can get in or out of the village until the damaged car and the one in front of it are moved by the police as the lorry can't very well reverse all the way down the street!).

    So... the moral of the story is - don't park on the side of a single track road unless you have left enough space for a fire engine (or, during harvest, a combine) to get past!

    Hope you're all having a productive day, and everyone who's back at school has a lovely time!

    ETA - I have done some flying after all - I washed the dining room lampshade!

    Don't think we'll get out to sea today as the fog is coming in over the island. Hope the sun shines tomorrow...

    Home from the paid slave trade (feels that way today!) - so anyone up for a HHC 4.00 to 4.30pm?

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
