    Hi,

    Ds2 and i have been busy in the garden but it's so hot we've had to come back in for a bit. There's not a lot of shade out there. The rabbits really need cleaning so we'll have to go back out at some point. OH's not coming over until after the football to start the BBQ so i can make the salad and do the other bits when he's lighting it. I may make a start on the ironing so i don't have to do it tonight.

    Since my last post we have

    Put washing out
    Repotted flowers, chilli's, strawberries & sunflowers
    Put more compost on the potatoes & tomatoes
    Planted onions
    Fed plants
    Watered garden
    Fed fish
    Marinated chicken for the BBQ

    Afternoon all

    Lovely day here. DS2 being lovely, cooked bacon, beans, waffles, eggs for everyone. They had eaten scotch pancakes for breakfast.

    I've been flying all morning. Off to clean the bathroom sink and have a shower.

    I will be trying out my new iron during the England match.

    Just researching a **** C*ke tin to buy ready for later in the year as last year's version went down a storm, not too much to buy ready and waiting for later in the year.
    I have one of these adjustable cake tins and find it incredibly useful. It saves having lots of different ones, and packs flat, so is good from a storage perspective.

    That's good news :D

    2 mile walk done, and recycling dropped off at the same time. Washing still ongoing... kitchen looking vaguely OK. Think I might drag a chair into the shade, find a trashy novel and sit outside with my lunch and a cold drink (must make some ice...)

    Hi all

    Well done to Boddy!! That must be a terrific feeling!

    Congratulations to Carlsgerggran!! Much love hugs n best wishes xxx

    I have gutted by bedroom, cleared and defluffed under the bed. Another 2 black bags of clothes, handbags and other gibble is bagged to go to the charity shop. Little ones floor is also completely clear but need to have a bit more of a clearout from his chest of drawers to make room for all of his clothes.

    All laundry is done and on the line....well the last load is in the machine now and will go out shortly.

    Any news from Lady Liberty? Hope shes having a fab time.

    Off to find my list, hope everyone is good, and hope Piggers and Toots are not struggling too much with the heat xx

    Jo.. I am DYING.. I can't even think abot going to hang out the laundry it is far too hot.. I can see I will end up hanging it out at 9pm like I did last night.. and bring it in the next day.. I just cannot face going out in the sun and heat. I was goin to stay in my pj's as well but it was hotter than slobbing in my vest and pj's and I NEEDED underwear..
