Afternoon all

Lady-L - hope you enjoy the show...

Kaz - the fudge looks good - I'd be interested in the recipe too - how long does it keep if it's not all snaffled up by thieving whatsit's?

No snow here but it's v. cold and cloudy. No rain either, but that may change in the next little while.

My little loft above my bedroom is in neat order and doesn't need tidying at all. I know, because I was up there just at the weekend getting my Christmas decs down....

So, what can I do this afternoon flying wise? I've already earned Monday's star:

Tuesday - bathroom, study and other grotty places!

Level Three

throw out any empty bottles.. decant dribbles into fuller bottles

Good afternoon all, DD's swimming lesson was cancelled so more time to fly.....after a cuppa and I have defrosted.
I think I missed a few achievments recently, sorry and CONGRATULATIONS xx

I have 2 questions.....When freezing the parboiled potatoes, how long can you freeze them for? Did some a LONG time ago and forgot about them and does it matter that I didn't put any oil on them.
And 2....Thanks for all the advice re the laptop...OH doesn't even know how to turn this one on so could I go for a cheaper acer or other model just dfor him to practice on??

OK that was really 3 questions but TIA xx

More ironing done during last call - one shirt, and a whole lot of other bits. I've got another listening-only call next, so I might even get to the bottom of it and be able to put more washing on soon!

Find e cards for those I’m sending this way – have no idea what sites are good

LOL God I cringed but then said "wait till later could be my a£se next!!!!
[STRIKE]Throw myself on the sofa in a heap and stare blankly at the tv screen for at least an hour![/STRIKE] for about half an hour or so, nothing on so watched Jeremy Kyle and cringed all the way through it, my, they have no shame!!!!

What shall I do with the lamb shoulder I bought today that was on offer?

Oh dear, I really haven't done well today. Actually i haven't done anything off todays list ....yet! I have been shopping though and at this time of year that's no small task but it's so dreary outside you just want to curl up in front of the fire with a good (or not so good) film. We're going out tonight so I'm conserving my energy, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Was that the one with the twins??? How mank is that?

I can't believe it's only 4:30, it feel like it's 9! not doing too much flying today, am so congested I can't breathe. Was meant to go to a meeting at 3:30 but I cancelled and got someone to cover, it was snowing!

I'm trying to persuade DH to get the painting started but poor thing can't be bothered, he has been at work all week!

All bar one item of ironing done, so between this meeting and going out (salt scrub and manicure) I'll bung on a load of laundry. Also need to wash and dress in something slightly less unpleasant that grubby gym kit

Tree now has lights and decorations on. Stove is going nicely, but it does smell quite strongly of coal in the sitting room... not smoke, just the smell of coal fire... I'm not sure that it should
