    Sounds as if you need to "speak" to fedupandskint and dustykitten...

    Anni - as they freeze so brilliantly why not just do that for now. Then as you feel like it you can use them in cakes/muffins/with icecream/make jam. Open freeze and then bag up HTH

    New iron very good, hot work as it creates more steam.

    Off to clean the kitchen sink next, I'm on a mission to get the house shipshape with summer hols approaching.

    I'm back!

    and I have new shoes from Freeport;)

    ETA

    Now all caught up and WHAT NEWS!

    Congrats GRaaaaaan

    on the birth of Chloe Grace and *wince* too

    And many congrats to Boddy - bet that feels go-o-o-o-d

    Been in the attic (*sweat* it's hot up there) and brought down the fans.

    Am now trying to summon the energy to iron...

    gerbils seems to be two boys and 1 mum; fortunately they already had a spare cage so boys now separated...mum and babies delicately transferred to the tank untouched by human hands...

    I have PM'd the preservers year thread link to the lady with the raspberries...

    Yes I did thanks

    and do you know what was really nice?

    being driven instead of driving...something I didn't realise I missed until I got to be a passenger again...

    and that's quite enough detail other than to say words were had (not nastily) re bleach and dishcloths LOL

    Carlsbergal - that really is the best news. I'm so pleased for you and your family. Hope DD isn't too sore and reinforce the need for rubber rings (check the National Childbirth trust for your local valley cushion agent)

    Pigpen Hope you can find some respite from the heat. DS1 was also a july hottest day of the year baby. He is currently in charge of the hosepipe and everyone and my washing line is sopping wet.

    Serena - what a lovely day with DD! I actually bought my DD a dress in Brighton and she likes it (faints in amazement)

    Boddy how fantastic to pay off your mortgage. I'm thrilled for you and even more determined to conquer ours before the term is out.

    We're off on holiday next Sunday. DS1 has his last GCSE tomorrow and DD1 sits her last A Level on Tuesday. DS3 has a non pupil day tomorrow so another lay in for me. Hooray!!!

    Done lots of washing today but am struggling to get it dry with the ongoing water fight in the garden.

    DH is barbequeing on the already blackened garden table.

    Hope everyone has had a lovely day and look forward to seeing everyone on the new thread shortly......

    Well today I have:

    Done a freezer inventory
    Stripped the bed and put the sheets in the wash
    Hung out the sheets
    Remade the bed with new sheets (apart from wrestling the duvet into its cover - will wait til it's cooler later tonight)
    Made chocolate crispy cakes
    Been to the pub for a drink and crisps with Moon and Mum
    Then we went to the ice cream shop and bought ice cream too (1 scoop chocolate, 1 coffee latte, and a fudge stick)
    Came home and ate one crispy cake (yummy)
    Folded sheets from the line and put them away
    Cleaned the kitchen worktops and small appliances

    Collapsed onto this chair with a pint glass full of water and a headache!

    Lots of BBQs going on around here - we're having veggie sausages, mash and beans at 8.45pm when Moon gets home from shooting.

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Hurrah for Crafty :T

    Believe me, I sympathise.

    I have elderflower champagne all over the pantry :(.

    Valli, may I have a link to the preservers year too?

    Serena - the Clothes Show sounded good, unlikely as it sounds I have always fancied going.
