    * Watered the potatoes and the squash bins
    * Froze down some left-over coq au vin from last night
    * Strained some chicken stock
    * Tidied up round the kitchen and put some pans to soak
    * Made a cuppa

    Just slurping my tea, then I'm off to tackle the bathroom

    Good gracious it's hot out there already.....

    Bother, I thought I had a clear ish week....until I read the school letters with sports days, fayres etc, typical....

    Anyway just been plodding on this morning, DS2s sports day at 1pm which I must cover up for as I sizzled my chesticles yesterday. My friends ended up moving out with police support last night, she's staying at someones house for now but at least I know she is safe.

    Think I shall go do washer load and some large flings to start off with today, actually will go put some gunk in the bathroom so that can be working as I'm busy

    ((hugs)) for you all x x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I'm off again for another bathroom blitz - will pace myself, as it is really hot up there (under the sloping eaves...:()

    ( have you got your angry birds update yet ? :p;) ) xx

    That explains why DH was playing angry birds last night. DS2&3 love it.
    Hope you have a great time as Glasto. Did you feel that slip into your back pocket? It was my spare spoons sent with love

    Hope all goes well for her.

    Toying whether to go and fill up with petrol before the budget (I've got my ironing planned for when it is on :D) or to do HHC on my list.

    3 beds stripped, wash 1&2 on the line, no 3 being loaded.

    Kitchen done.:D

    :coffee:anyone?? I really need it, I'm half asleep.

    Washing machine is terminal.:( Any recommendations? This was our second Zanussi in 25 years or so, but the second one was Electrolux and not as good in my opinion. I think I remember pigpen saying Bosch, and was it hex Miele?

    Love and hugs, especially Lady-Liberty - have a fantastic time at Glastonbury! Toots, and Diva.

    :hello:to all my flylady friends!

    Thank you for all the messages for DD - she's gone to Thorpe Park with friends today to celebrate, so I'll pass them on when I next see her! No, she wasn't driving there, she doesn't have a car yet - and I want her to do the Pass Plus course as well.
