    4. HH-something HHWii – I seem to be stalling somewhat on the weight loss. Down 1 stone from when I started, but it seems to be staying stuck at the moment.
    Going to treat myself to a wee sit-down with a large glass of delicious chilled water now.:o

    Well my HHC turned into 15 minutes cleaning and the rest making a new cakey. Read the recipe wrong though - put all the nuts into the topping instead of some into the cake but I'm certain it'll still be edible :D

    Tis in the oven now.

    Have also cleared up the kitchen again, just waiting for DW to fnish then I can empty the sink of all cake related things ;)

    Also hung out the bath mat and microfiber cloths and put the final load of laundry on - that means at this specific moment in time -

    Both laundry bins are EMPTY!!!!! HScartwheel.gif

    Which means OH will be moaning he has clothes to put away later :rotfl:

    Yippeee!!!!!! I have finally been able to pre-order the crib for the baby so we are sorted.. it should be delivered the first week in July so perfect timing really... let's just hope it isn't damaged or I WILL cry.. I have waited for this to be back in stock since February!!!

    Off to feed the monsters... as it is boiling hot I thought savoury mince and mash was a good option lol... could do pasta bake I suppose.... 'cept I don't want pasta!

    Afternoon all

    DS3 not having a great day. Smashed a window in the living room playing cricket. The glass spread from one end of the room to the other (that is front to back of house) so living room has been thoroughly hoovered. Then I went upstairs and his friend has got dirt from feet or knees all over my clean bed sheets. He has since had to sweep up all the leaves around the playhouse and help water the strawberries and put the straw and netting on one of the beds.

    Not done much other than baking/soup making and several loads of washing.
