    Kids first FULL day at school today, sent off with their new lunch boxes which they have been desperate to use for the last four weeks! Lewis stood in the playground and wanted to eat it there and then....The child is always hungry, all we hear through the day every few mins is 'mommy i 'ungry' normally five mins after he has eaten something. Does anyone have any experiance with this? We've had to put locks on the kitchen door as first thing in the morning he raids the cubords/fridge and if I leave anything around he will eat it. Hes only three bless him but its so strange!
    Anyway, as i have the house more or less to myself today(just me and Amelia) i thought i would get some baking done for lunch boxes. Just waiting for my delivery from as*a, between 10 and 12(typically it will come at five to 12 lol)and as soon as its here i shall chuck tea in the SC(dont know what yet!) put the bread maker on and get a carrot loaf made up as that seemed to go down really well last time. Got the ingrediants to try lemon drizzle cake to yummmmmmm!
    My list-
    mop and sweep kitchen floor
    wash up
    clean fridge
    sort out freezer inventory and get rid of any built up ice
    sort through cubords and do another inventory
    tidy away toys in lounge
    strip amelia's chair and wash
    run the vac around
    bake lemon and carrot loaf
    put on SC
    put on BM
    Fold washing and put ironing into new pile(thankgod i did it the other day!!!)
    Put away clothes that dont need ironing
    Do little bit of ironing if i've got the time!
    make engagement card for neighbour
    make jaimee's halloween invites
    start planning jaimees/our halloween party!(ps. if anyone would like to join us 30th october from about 5/6ish more than welcome to! fancy dress is a must!)

    Not looking forward to this list as im feeling exhausted and in a lot of pain after wandering round the safari park yest, and most of it was spent being pushed around in my wheelchair! x

    ETA. call school and find out what time the children finish! All last week they finished at 11:45 but this week its full time...and i have no idea what time they finish!!!! whoooops....I think its 3pm but i used to finish at 3:30pm and some schools round here finish at 3:15...confused much?!?!?!?!

    Oh dear! Defrost the freezer on my first day 'flying'? It's only a small freezer but everything is wedged in solid - I may be some time - need to find thick gloves first (and possibly a blow torch)!

    Thanks for the encouragement.

    Good luck! I use boiling water in saucepans placed on the shelves to steam/melt the ice and my hairdryer on its hottest setting(careful not to get water in it), doesnt take too long.
