    I'll have a Monday star please Toots when you have a moment. Fortunately the freezer wasn't too frozen up because I did it about a month ago.

    Have also done a half hour potter in the garden - de pooping and harvesting tomatoes and cutting the dying bits back. They are almost at the end now but I am pleased with my efforts. I've had a constant supply of tomatoes for the last 6 weeks.

    BB and I wandered up the road this afternoon to Aldi for carrots - didn't fancy driving to Tesco just for that - the co-op's nearer but Aldi has railings which I can tie BB to and the co-op doesn't...

    Just about to start the chicken stock for hearty soup for dinner from yesterday's carcass.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Evening everyone. I finished off the kitchen when I got in. Didnt take long to do the freezer as its only a small one. I didnt get to see mum this morning so will go tomorrow. Off to look and see if Ive got room to hang a load of towels up if I wash them.


    Evening

    Evening all

    Just grabbing a quick cuppa before I pick up from beavers.

    Feeling a bit flyladied out. I've put so much effort into the kitchen today but it's still not finished and I've got loads more cupboards to sort. Trying to decide whether to just leave the rest until next week and keep on task for the rest of the week or blow out the rest of the week and get the kitchen done but then the other rooms won't get done.
