thanks for making me smile Jinky
GnB glad your DD is home
LW - the market sounds lovely, hope you enjoy it

very tired again, please do not de-clutter the matchsticks. Other people manage full time, I can't cope with 20 hours .

Tonight I have switched the WM on, and that is it so far. I need to make myself hoover and put the DW on. Is it wine'o'clock yet?

Tell him if he has time to see the smeary marks, then he is not showering properly!!!

Raining hard here.

Toots sent you a pm

Dinner decluttered, mrt's are doing cooked chickens in their deli counter for £2 instead of £4.25, so bought one for me, which will do at least the next 3 days for lunch and dinner in different forms, tonight it was wrapped in tortilla wraps with salad. (cat got a little piece as well, I dropped it)

I agree. If there's a lot of limescale deposit, you might want something like Astonish limescale remover first off, but after that, good ol' vinegar should do it. Works for me, any way.:o

Back to stirring risotto now.....;)

I'm making risotto too as my brother is coming over for supper

Evening all

I thought I'd do better this week...:(

After the mammoth stint at work yesterday (Y8 parents' evening - last parent sat down at 8.05), all I want to do is sleep, and I'm a fair bit behind with the dailies. I've updated my list, but only to cross of a couple of things that don't need doing.

I've read a few pages of the thread, but haven't really caught up, and it's making me feel more tired. Time to make a phone call, stick the DW on, put dry towels away and get rid of rubbish/recycling in the kitchen. Must put kettle on first, for much-needed cuppa.

Hope everyone's evening goes well.
