Weekly housework blitz done and everything returned to its correct place:jIt never fails to amaze me how 2 adults can create such a muddle in a weekend!

Had left overs for lunch and off to start playing with icing shortly - at least this mess will/should be confined to the kitchen.:rotfl:

Cakes were safely transported and the party a great success:jI seem to have spent an awful amount of money over the weekend and have nothing to show for it:mad:.
We came back on Monday, so I had to work Tuesday and now everything is all behind - again!

The plan today is:
Monthly plans, budget etc.
Store cupboard shopping list
2 weeks of menu plans
A quick blitz on the house- so its at least presentable for weekend.
Finish the last of BIL's cushions(am sick of the sight of them)
Finalize Christmas countdown plans.

Can't you tell I love lists?
Off to make a start and will report progress later.

Have to this weekend complete monthly plans, Countdown to Christmas plans, 2 weekly menu plans and maintenance wash for washing machine and dishwasher.

Got BIL's cushions finished:jnow to start on 2 sets of named bunting as Christmas presents.
Got store cupboard shopping list done - just got to do shop now.

I am mad as Boss Lady gone away for 2 weeks and her bank transfer not in - so guess what I don't get paid:eek:

And breathe..........

Bah to the boss lady.

I did finally get paid -only took 2 unanswered texts and as if by magic it appeared in my bank account:j
Went of on Friday afternoon and did a massive store cupboard shop and took advantage of some of MrT's , offers - we have enough flour and peanut butter to last us until the New Year.

But as these things tend to do, I have had one job lead to another weekend.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:The store cupboad shopping needed to go away, so sort the pantry and cupbords out. Think the painwork is grubby- cloean it - windows look dirty -so clean them. Extractor fan is disgusting - so clean that.........
Find in cupboards loads of drid fruit, so make Christmas cake, still loads of fruit so make Christmas pudding! And the list goes on:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
