Lovely day here - am at my Mum's and girls down the road at my sisters. off to the beach later for an ice cream then back here for roast...mmmmmmmmmm
Not much DFW-ness going on but here's a teeny list!!

• daily scratch - £5.10 altogether wooohooo:T
• LSD - just ice creams for girls when out
• Try and keep to WW - well, just not stuffing myself would be good:o
• Stepdad is sorting the leak in my car

Enjoy the day people:j

Morning all :j

It has stopped raining at last! I haven't posted here for ages , but regularly lurk . Nice to see the regulars, plus some new posters!

Lol re the gentleman lurkers - there used to be at least one gentleman who posted, I seem to remember. Haven't heard from him for a while. Perhaps he has been lurking like me

Lazy few days off work - I took Tuesday and Wednesday off as leave, and work was closed on Thursday plus holiday weekend :T On the downside, OH has a cold, and I have had a minute by minute update on the symptoms all weekend :rotfl:

Back to work on Tuesday though, and will have to pick up the chaos that will have happened while I have been off :eek:

Today I have / will:

Managed to get out and do some bits in the garden - planted shallots and broad beans, planted out new herbs in patio pots and tidied up the old ones that have survived, pruned rose (a bit late I know ), cleaned out chooks and watered salad leaves in greenhouse - oh and started to tidy up the raspberry canes :T Loads still to do, but enough out there for today.

go for a nice walk with dogs and hopefully not get wet

HM soup for lunch - I made a huge pot of roasted pumpkin, red pepper and sweet potato soup yesterday yesterday (yum) - it was such a huge pot in fact that I will have to freeze some!

cook some of Morrisons £7 meal offer for dinner tonight - already eaten some, but have the beef joint and half the veg left. I dug up some leeks from the garden while I was out there, so we can have those with it.

Put nearly dry washing on airer, and put a new load in - my 'posh' black linen frock that I wear for work things at posh hotels (sounds v. glamorous my job, but I can assure you it is not!!)

Iron black frock when dry :eek:

Pack up last ebay sale from the things I listed last week, made about £50 on stuff that has been collecting dust for ages, so that was good - must get more accurate re postage though, as some cost more than I estimated :eek:. I am new to ebay - but made a profit, and decluttered some junk, so all good :T

Can't think of anything else at the moment - have a lovely day everyone :beer:

Hello! I popped in earlier and wasn't sure whether to post on yesterday's thread or to start a new one - so I just mooched off again waiting for someone else to decide!
I'm glad we're here though because writing my list really helps me to get things done.... here's mine

• Walk dog for free exercise - done one just before the downpour, 2 more to go today
• Write 1 lesson plan - done
• Do a job application - its a job that I do really want so should spend a fair chunk of time getting it perfect
• Write a 500 word proposal - I know what I want to write I just have to do it!
• Do a wash and dry naturally - done
• Maybe wash the towels if the weather improves
• Change the bed
• Give OH his easter pressies - half price Ferrero Rocher (his favourite) and a £2 Creme Egg egg - he loves choccie so should be happy with that!
• Hoover house
• OH making yummy veggie indian banquet for me for tea - sweet potato curry, naan bread, onion bhajis, samosas and chana masala - can't wait! Its a sacrifice for him as he's a big meat eater but will do veggie once every blue moon
• Have a NSD - am really trying for one today

That's it for me - have a good choccy filled day

Morning everyone, happy easter! I hope ts not too much of a challenge to not over-indulge in the chocolate , luckily I haven't got any so should be easy for me

Oh is actually laying the last bits of the flooring, so it'll finally be over in an hour or so :T! opps just went downstairs and enquired what he had actually done since I'd been upstairs, not the behaviour someone who isn't actually helping should employ


Today I will:

• [STRIKE]make up meal plan/shopping list for week[/STRIKE]Done, still using up things in freezer/stores but they will deplete rapidly now have another (almost) man in the house
• [STRIKE]go shopping (if supermarkets are open?) - STICK TO LIST[/STRIKE] they're all shut!
• [STRIKE]make some soda bread using recipe I just found on the old style board [/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]cook roast herby chicken nd all the trimmings for dinner[/STRIKE]
• make hobnobs while chicken is in the oven
• [STRIKE]go to oh's parents and borrow their vacuum while they're on holiday (really have to either try to get asda to replace broken one or buy/freecycle one very soon)[/STRIKE] vacuumed top floor (OMG it was such hard work and SOOOOO dusty after months of no vacuum ), waiting until kitchen floor is finished before doing bottom two...
• [STRIKE]change bedsheets, wash on 30, nd hang indoors[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]polish bedroom, lounge & bathroom (housework is a trade off for not doing the floor as is the cooking as well)[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]if the weather picks up might go for a walk [/STRIKE]

Phew again, what a list!

• DH bro lent him two x-box games - free entertainment for DH
• Have a light healthy tea - throw together some bits from the fridge

Today has been an NSD :j

We've been to see relatives and as we were going to be out over lunchtime took homemade sarnies with us, so we stopped off and had them in the car on the way down. i am making a roast chicken dinner for tonight with all the trimmings and tonight am going to be watching Jonathon Creek:D

Watched Dr Who last night (confession first time i have ever watched it) and loved it. So did the rugrat and wants us to watch it together every week now:D:D:D
