    lunch eaten (cous cous and salad - healthy and delicious), wanted put on freecycle, friend text to say she'll bring the cot over tomorrow lunchtime, so I'll take her out for lunch after :) Emails sent to try and sort out collection of change table from friend on south coast...looks like it might end up going to yorkshire via my cousin for us to bring back :rotfl:

    Going to watch casualty from saturday and then I'll get showered and dressed and nip to the shop. Might do some twinks hobnobs later if we have any sugar :D

    Posted parcel, got the caravan out and been to sainsbugs. Went armed with £10 off a £50 spend and £12 off a £60 spend, one was mum's, bill came to £60.27 :D

    Shopping all put away, bill sorted as to who owes what to whom, lunch had. About to deliver mum's shopping and then pick W up from school.

    OH has arrived at his dads...to find out his uncle died overnight!:(
    Oh no, I'm so sorry.:(

    List as done as it's going to get - Mr LW working from
    home today, shift finished, and he wants to go for a walk in Campbell Park.

    Monday ~ Kitchen and dining room!
    Level One
    Clear and wipe work surfaces
    Done
    Sweep and mop the floor Done (Mr LW)
    Level Two
    Clean the oven and hob
    Done; oven still clean really, as we don't have roasts, so did microwave too.
    Wipe the units and appliances Done
    Clear and wipe table, replace cloth if necessary Done
    Level Three
    HHI
    HHWii instead
    Wipe out the fridge.. meal plan for June! Fridge clean prior to big shop at Farmers Market on Sunday; meal plan done to 25th June, which is when we return from our holiday (hee hee, a whole week of “Eat Out”)
    Scrub the sink and tiles Done (Mr LW did the tiles I have trouble reaching)
    Extras

    1. dust and deweb.. make sure you do any blinds/lightshades too! Done
    2. Empty and wash out all the smelly bins Done
    3. Sort through a cupboard.. Only put back what you will use..freecycle or fling anything else! The next task is sorting/categorising/turfing out all the bookcases. I have prepared a printed list to work from, and that will suffice for today. There are nine bookcases in total, so it's going to be quite a long job.
    4. bake a cake/buns or prepare a new meal for your family! Birsay biscuits done; todays lunch is an exprimental kind of cross between mousaka and gratin.
    And I meant to say earlier, Happy Birthday Franby.

    Later, folks.:wave:

    Hi all

    Have turned my compost bin this morning - before the rain sets in and makes the job twice as heavy and even mushier than it was....

    Will now set to and attack the kitchen. I'm a bit late starting for 3:00pm, but want to go on till 4:00pm and see how much I do. Anyone going to join me?

    MissH

    Just back from Docs and turns out DS has a Viral infection......the doctor is going to check with a Dermatologist but doesnt think he will need any treatment as his body will fight it and they should go eventually...thanks for all the calming vibes this morning I had got myself into a right state.

    Flying will commence again now I promise

    Afternoon all and welcome to all the newbies. Mummyyof5 glad to hear your little one is ok

    Just been out to run a few errands and pick up some school jumpers and ties for the twins. They have 12 weeks to learn how to tie a tie properly :rotfl::rotfl:. We planned to have walk round the tarn whilst we were out, but the heavens decided to open. Just as we got back home the rain stopped. Typical

    Going to have a quick cuppa then tackle the kitchen.
    Twins, twice the laughs, twice the fun, twice the mess!:j:j

    I made lemon cup cakes - yummy AND I was really MSE and cooked them in the oven at the same time as the LO's lunch!! :j

    I fancy making a steak pie for tea but struggling to find a fool proof recipe. I've cheated and bought puff pastry.
