ditsykitchen

- Making banana bread instead of throwing away black bananas and ending up with a gorgeous desert and a house that smells like cinnamon
- Cheaping out with long grain rice instead of risotto rice and realising it's just as nice and sooo much cheaper!
- Staying in and having a cuddly no-spend day with dh :grinheart
- Winning a couple of ebay auctions for White Stuff clothes at 1/10th the retail price!
- Getting more done without having a TV licence, and saving too!

Frith

My pleasures for today:

1) A bit of a lie in!

2) Breakfast made in the new kitchen.

3) Lots of texts from smaller son now they are at their father's for a week.

4) Cleaned the house of building dust.

5) Went to local motor racing with my dad and brother.

6) Dad and brother came here in the truck to take away my old skirting boards/shelves etc for their bonfire.

7) MrN came over with a box of chocolates to say thank you for me going over at 4am the other day to calm his dogs down. He also had a go about noisy neighbour and her children (the ones who buried my car keys) so good to know I am not alone in my irritation there! I meant to say the noisy 2 boys plagued the builders half to death. When the builder told them to behave and tried ignoring them, they kicked 4 slats out of the fence!! Well, at least I can see the view
better now. :-/

8) My school friend came over and hasn't long gone.

9) Watched Casualty and ate the chocolates.

10) Goodness knows what is going on at the village hall. Lots of loud music so I have been playing the piano so I can't hear it.

Brilliant, Froths words, she got some chocolate. And the next pleasure says they did not last very long then. Gals, I understand. Beard hugs with choccie droppings all round!

1 Off to trots this morn on tredder. Ms BoP galloped along as well. Free w8rose tea, snorkers and paper.

2 Did yard, cleared up ready for Dump, all in the time it tooks Ms BoP to grill snorkers and add eggs mushrooms and Hoop SpagYETTI. Swoooshed down with tea.

3 Got cat crazy Kedgeree for tea. Smoked Mackeral versions, with loads of hot peppers and salad. Finished with Raspberry Jelly and ice cream

4th Day of ruffin up. No shave and the hairs are getting a bit curled. Now it has been said this week by some, happened in digs to see dome sullen itch on the oooogle box be so upperty about rugs on chins. Get a life, radio quickly tuned to Classic FM instead.

5 Snoggled up with Ms BoP as we watched Grumpy old men last nite. Now Ms BoP licks Mr Lemon Juice. Nearly as much as that guy from Pain in your Wagon

Do not forget the can of oil, to hush the squeaky doors. And put some in the lamp. Do not hide it, you want to be seen.

It is a Moon is made from cheese day, with some bull story about a soldier and the bimbo. Must be a film out soon then.

I did indeed - I believe she now lives not far away from a work colleague in a different part of the city.

1) NSD.

2) A few glimpses of yellow thing between the clouds.

3) Apart from a dahlia snapped off one of my plants - which is now in a vase - there was no serious damage in the garden from last night's heavy rain and wind.

4) Cut some of the leaves off my tomato plants to give the sun a better chance to ripen the fruit.

5) Read some more of my book in between watching various bits of sport.

Evening

Pleasures for today,
1. Work up early again so got up and made good use of being awake so early and got the washing machine on. Managed to get the washing dry between short showers.
2. Also got busy in the kitchen and made a batch of tomato, herb and red wine sauce, carrot soup, chocolate muffins, cooked the apples down that MIL gave me, put some beef in the slow cooker for dinner and roasted a chicken and stripped down ready for packed lunches. All this was done by 9 o'clock.
3. Enjoyed a cup of tea and a greek yoghurt sat down for 10 minutes
4. Popped into town to take a top back that had bought for DD for work but wasn't right, she is difficult. Managed to get a top in a different shop in the end for about the same price.
5. Had a little snooze this afternoon
6. Just finished the yummy beef from the slow cooker, there should have been some left but DD and OH both had seconds.

Hugs to all who need them
