    Just as I was getting DD's bath ready, DSD called to say she would take her out for a bit so off DD went, so I went upstairs washed all the bubble bath of the bath and S+S'd the rest of the room. Also done a bit more ironing but giving up now, my back is sore and want to carry on the momentum tomorrow. Hugs for all in need.....sorry, skim reading again xx

    poohbear - I managed to get a replacement jug for my grandmother's obsolete teasmaid on eBay so don't write your food processor off just yet :) I would try eBay and if there's nothing there, try googling cos there are a number of shops that just sell parts for those kinds of things. Hope you have good luck with it!

    Off to find my list now!

    Poohbear - I thought you were awol - just glad it wasn't the asthma.

    I decided to do some baking for work to relieve the boredom of the management meeting but got a bit carried away. We now have carrot cake, bananananana bread and millionaires shortbread.

    My previously clean kitchen is a tip again. Why do I not learn from experience?

    I also need to make our bed before bedtime and do some more boring ironing. Poor DH is stuck behind an accident on some m/way or another so I can at least delay the cooking of dinner.
