    One load of washing done and sorted - half will go in TD, but with parents here I'm not sure where I'll dry the rest!

    Spare room almost cleared... although I now have so many suitcases there isn't room to keep them all on top of the wardrobe :rolleyes: some reorganisation is going to be needed... lunch is on... I think they'll be here any minute. Hope the dog has remembered wellies and slippers :p as it's very muddy outside!

  • Right got roughly 300 words left to write on essay, then reference and do bibliography.

    Greenbee can you store small suitcases inside of bigger ones?

    SummerMoon lots of hugs sweetie, hope you can work out what to cut back on. I know it's hard, I always [STRIKE]want[/STRIKE] need to do everything. Remember to fit some you time in there somewhere!

    Dreamy glad it went well with BF! Enjoy your days off.

    I'm going to go have a little bit of coucous for lunch then finish this essay and do some flying.

    Already done where possible :o. There is one suitcase I might get rid of, as it's about the same size as the new ones, but without the internal bits to organise it. The problem is, I now have a selection of similar sizes that can be used in different ways/combinations which is great for travelling, but not so great for when they're lying round the house.

    Tofu added to pasta sauce for lunch (must remember not to let my dad know ;)), filled up water filter, kitchen table cleared, and another load of washing is on. Only two or three more to go... as it's raining today I might do my bedding and get some help turning the mattress.

    Off to work out where to hang all the drip-dry washing :confused:

    can i cook pasta in slow cooker

    I'd do the sauce in the SC and the pasta in a pan, just before you need it. I tried a rice stew in the slow cooker and it was very mushy. Can't imagine pasta would be better.
