    • [STRIKE]Update spending diary with reciepts from weekend
    • Phone Scottish Power with meter readings from the flat and get dd adjusted
    • NSD
    • Packed lunches, breakfasts and pasties for dinner which I made yesterday[/STRIKE]
    • Do ironing tonight (didn't get this done yesterday)
    • Switch the heating off if I get home after OH and not let him put it on if I get home first. I really should stop stealing all of his jumpers - then he might be a bit warmer! :p

    Managed most things today so feeling quite happy with my progress. Just about to dig the ironing board out and get that one ticked off the list.

    Failed miserably on the heating front - OH has it on now and it is so lovely and warm! 5 more minutes and I'll go an turn it off :o

    Can't believe how dark it is outside! When did winter arrive???

    Yippee for milly's new laptop!!! :j:j

    QUOTE]

    Ooh thanks Angelflower, I'm pretty sure its unsalvagable now, but I'll know for next time! My mother always tuts at me if I don't stick it in the fridge/freezer as soon as it is at the optimum temperature! :rotfl:

    Next time I think I'll risk it! :rotfl: x[/QUOTE

    I totally agree with Angelflower, but if you are worried you could always compromise by heating it to boiling point (if that wouldn't ruin it) and then cooling again.
