Morning All

shaping up to be a scorcher here by the look of it.

P-P thanks for highlighting the 5p listing day on ebay - will have to get some pictures taken and list a lot of stuff myself.

Baking day for me today, need to do three loaves, a cherry cake, apple pie, rhubarb crumble and some wheetabix brownies.

Managed to get a bit ahead of myself and do ironing yesterday which leaves me a bit of extra free time today woohoo - so am planning on sitting in the garden this afternoon.

Breakfast- cornflakes
Lunch- salad sandwich
dinner - shepherds pie

have a good one all

Good morning everyone!

PP - glad you have had a good night!:T
Queenie - I know you don't mean to make me feel guilty when you list what you've done, but..........:o

It's foggy here this morning, but that probably means it will be nice later, so will get the washing done (as soon as I finish here)
Got to do some shopping today, then later on is the kids club, & I am telling the story today so need to get organised.
Have a good day - look forward to hearing about what you are all up to!!!

Morning everyone

good to be back - been away on hols to Greece and missed the chat!!

Washing all done, ironed and put away -where does all that stuff come from?!?!

Inspired as usual by Queenie et al to get a move on - thanks ladies.

However, have two nights out. Opening day for my local beauty salon last night - Good luck Michelle on the new premises! Tonight I've been invited to a Fashion extravaganza! Local company doing a fashion and beauty evening and proceeds going to a local charity that helps women access education, training and employment. I think it may be an expensive evening as they have asked us to bring our chequbooks for the charity raffle!!:eek:

I sound really girly, but it is a bit unusual for me to do so much beauty stuff! It IS nice to indulge now and again.

Must get on with w**k now, so will catch up on the previous week's chat later!!

Nice to be back...........

Hi All

I am going to join this thread and try to get at least some of my chores done.

Washing machine on when I left for work at 6 am, now ready to hang - will do that in a minute.

Empty dishwasher from last night.

B-Wholemeal muffin, banana, kefir/yoghurt strawberry milkshake
L-Cheese and cucumber wholemeal sarnie/HM yoghurt
D-Egg salad.

Does anyone else find themselves drowning in the recycling stuff?

Try not to spend any uneccessary money as well.

Have a good day.:)

Morning all. Had a wonderful nights sleep. Bean was nice and content and I managed to sleep right through. Woke up feeling like me for a change.

Put some washing in the machine before I left the house (must be something in the air today with washing). Also did a little bit of tidying up. Last night OH started to do a few DIY jobs that need sorting (painting over marks that sort of thing). The idea is to get the house sorted now before the girls come down in just over 1 week's time ..... so they can then make a mess of it and their Dad can moan and groan about tidying it all up again.

Asked OH whether I look pregnant or just fat....he replied "well.... errr". Presume that means just fat. To be honest I'm not that bothered because it means that for now everything is holding itself in, which I am happy about.

I'm feeling a bit lazy now so decided for tea we could have something out of the freezer. Possibly chicken burgers, or something along those sorts of lines anyway.

Morning all.

Just off to have my annual mammogram in a minute, I'm not doing anything before I go as I can't put any anti-perspirant on and I don't want to get sweaty.

Just thought I'd let everyone know, it's been 2 days, 22 hours and 49 mins since I had my last cigarette

Hi larmy
I guess it depends on how much space you have. We don't have much space indoors, but we have a front garden with a space beside the front porch - enough room for 2 wheelie bins, a "proper" dustbin & a plastic box.
Our system is: black bin (non-recyclable), green bin (garden compost) and plastic bags for card/paper; plastic bottles/foil/cans. Collection is alternate weeks - recyclables one week, black bin the next.
All the bins are tucked round the corner beside the porch - in the old dustbin I keep all the spare plastic bags, & 2 opened bags, one for the paper stuff & one for the cans etc. If one gets filled it is sealed & hidden behind the bins. Glass bottles go in the plastic box - they are not collected, we have to take them to the bottle bank.

I did have more problems when I had more rubbish - but now I try to buy as little rubbish as possible! (eg HM pizzas don't produce a box each!!!):D

Moggins - hope all is ok.

And Well done!!!!! with the other things!!!!

Aww, put your "Guilt Bunny" back to bed!! If you look at my (actually weeny!) list ... the morning has gone something like this ...

0530hrs - woken by the gulls, fall out of bed, have a wee. Put kettle on.

0545hrs - turn on washing machine (loaded last night) and while that does it's job ...
Don rubber gloves, fill chook food/water, do poop scoop duty in chook bed. Remove base tray of quails cage, empty in composter, brush off, wipe over, replace. Replace food and water dishes.

0717hrs - posted on daily thread.

Hang washing = 5 mins

20 min whipround isn't a major deep cleaning operation, it's a whipround and takes .... twenty minutes :laugh:

Need to get all the basics out of the way because I have to spend some time on making a gift for a birthday this coming weekend plus some admin work that I need to get on with.

While I'm going those things, I can easily have the BM doing it's stuff in the background and it only takes a few minutes to put the mix together. Likewise with the slow cooker.

Penny - quails 'mature' around 6 weeks, but can come into lay as early as 5 wks or as late as 10 wks. Mine were officially 6wks old on Monday, so I'm really excited and keep sticking my nose in their cage to see if they've begun to earn their keep yet :rotfl:
Ooooh, how quickly time is flying for your chicks too!!

Snowy - hope you manage to enjoy your public holiday today and find the enthusiasm you seek ((hugs))

:T :T :T WTG moggins!!! :T :T :T

Good luck today ((hugs))
