Weekly Flylady Thread 5th October 2009

Rach - that's top news about the hospital appointment.

It seems quite strange making dinner just for me on a Saturday night (DD does her own cooking) and the realisation that this is how it is going to be from now on - except for Sundays because DS has said he's coming home for Sunday roast. It means I can really rethink my menus and my weekly shop.

I was quite restricted because DS has a definite list of likes and dislikes and DiL had her own likes and dislikes but now it doesn't matter!

ETA Crafty - the final waving off ain't happened yet. There's still a lot of clobber here to shift. But I did get everything of theirs out of the cupboard under the stairs and took it over there today! DiL is working tomorrow, but I think if I crack the whip with DS, we can get most of the stuff over there tomorrow. Their occasional clothes (e.g. suits etc.) will have to stay here a bit until their wardrobes get delivere.d

Kaz - I go to Micks in the Agora - £13 for a cut, I go on a Sunday morning. I love the cut I get but the price isn't for a blow dry, thats extra but as my hair is very short it doesn't justify the extra price.

Well I have thoroughly cleaned and de-cluttered the kitchen - it's looking good!! Not sure how long it will stay that way as my cats are in there at night and they make a mess (cat hair, paw prints, mud etc etc) lol

soappie -thanks. I am sure it will feel very weird for a while, being on your own. Meal wise, I sometimes miss my mad single dinners! I used to regularly chuck a load of veg in a pan with some tinned tomatoes and maybe quorn or beans. I thought it was gorgeous but not DH's idea of a nice dinner!

It's good, I think, that I'm not totally alone in the house, DD will be living here for a while. But I know what you mean about single dinners. When I've worked away in self catering accommodation I've done thinks like buy a small gammon, boil or bake it one day, hot for dinner, then cold for sandwiches and a salad etc. One thing neither DS nor DiL would eat was ham though DS would eat bacon.

I can even make a quiche again and have it hot one day, cold the next. It always seemed to silly to cook completely separate dinners. I was looking at my glut of onions this evening and thinking oooh - brown onion soup with crusty bread and cheese on the top!
