Oooo, good news :j:j:j

I REALLY want to make marmalade (blueberry jam was made in case things went wrong so I must be psychic :cool:)

ETA: thinking about it, am going to view my soon-to-be new house again tonight so will pick up some more sugar on the way home and make it when the ankle-biters are in bed Any tips *ahem* Valli??

Valli

*is rumbled*

Blueberry jam sounds overboiled tbh - just soak the pan in water though to dissolve the sugar.

Tellme what fruit you have and what you're wanting to make.
(inc weight)

Got any lemons?

Pen-pen and Potty also preserve -

Got loads done in that last HHC, re-laid the LR fire, sorted the mag rack, hoovered all through the house, washed the hoover filters, loaded the DW and found a recipe as per the list for dinner tonight.

Summermoon - I do Sage if you want to PM me, not an expert but experienced.

And children


Got theory test tomorrow so need to find copy of the Highway Code and [STRIKE]revise[/STRIKE] look at it for the first time.

Took DD to coffee shop for hot chocolate and lemon cheesecake as it's KS2 SATs and her school is one of the few not boycotting it.

Feet hurt so much by the time we were nearly home, plodded back the last quarter mile in my socks.

Wiped over cooker and counters, swept up the detrius from today's mining expedition in the litter tray - five foot away from it - and cannot spend another moment on my feet, especially as I went over on my ankle 3 times this afternoon on uneven pavements. :mad: So back to square one and probably back into the compression cast thingy again

Now I have no intention of moving my butt from this settee for anything other than a cuppa or bedtime!

I am home :j shame I had to spend most of my afternoon attending to a very flat battery, so flat the hazard warning light didn't come on. Garage have checked the car, told me to take it for a long run and take it back so they could check it. Very good service from a national company and it hasn't cost me a penny!

DS1 and DS2 did their Reading SAT today. The both seemed happy with how they have done. The boy I was sitting with at my school attempted most of the questions but has probably picked up 5 marks at best. It is so frustrating as I know he his a bright and capable boy and if I had asked him to read the questions out loud and answer them orally he would have been able to give me good answers to all the questions.

Done bathroom, utility room and kitchen. Utility room should only need a bit of sanding, i hope, then i can start the painting.:D
I've managed to get gloss on abit of the tiled floor so i'll have a search to see how i can get it off, it's dryed on.:mad:
Still need to gloss the bathroom, help DD with homework and do abit more in the kitchen.
