    Morning All

    Lovely Day here again - No washing to do today :D So I am having a clearout of the cupboards - I have too much Junk and I really must make a start on tackling it. Mind you the worst offender is my squirrel of a Husband - I have lost a whole larder unit which he has filled with tools :mad: I don't mind the electric tools in the house because they are valuable but he has so many other tools and they are going to be oiked out today.

    Redruby .........you are welcome I was glad to be of some help x x

    Morning everyone.

    Busy day ahead, Forest School this afternoon and then off out to local Autism support group tonight for the first time so my mum and dad are babysitting.
    Tea tonight will be a very quick sandwich or something.
    Cloudy here but still fairly warm. What tiny bit of rain we had didn't do much for the garden and I've emptied the water butt again.
    Washing on, need to make some biccies if I get chance. Might round up the kids to help ;)

    Sorry not read yesterdays thread yet so hugs for those that need them.

    Taplady - Sending lots of positive vibes for your Hairdresser and her wee babies xxxxxx I hope they pull through.

    Have a lovely day OS or not.

    Morning, well its grey and muggy again.
    Fingers crossed it will go like yesterday and come out sunny. Well i finished the cat bed :j. So i now have two cats eyeing it up, wonder which one will jump on it first :rotfl:.

    Not much going on today, as i exploded and went on a rant at my poor OH. I'm sick being told to sit and not being able to leave the house so i'm making him take me out for an hour to a park where they can play football and i get to sit with a book.

    Think were having quiche again for tea (leftovers, just depends on OH.

    Right going to fix my dress x

    Mortgage-free Glee!
    Quiet on here today, isn't it? Can you tell I'm bored? half way through a set of a Minutes and really need a break for a bit. Would almost like to do some housework - but the overall chaos means only the bathroom's available - and I've done that! Still, lovely fitter man says I could start putting thigs back in most of the cupboards tonight! How sad is it that I'm really excited at the thought?
    have also been going through plastic storage boxes that were out in the old shed.... I do wonder why I put things out there. Apart from the grotty spiders'webs etc they seem to be full of old teaching materials which I'm certainly not going to use again - and not a lot that would be useful to anyone these days, so my recycling bin will be very full tomorrow. Might as well have disposed of them years ago! I reckon two llarge boxes will condense to barely fill a third of a box! Oh well, back to the typing of the Minutes I suppose....

    Hiya,

    Can I join in as well, I read this every week but have never had the courage to say anything? I've just taken the plunge and joined the grocery challenge for July though.

    I'm at work at the mo and will be until 6.30. Its very quiet as I work alone and not had many visitors yet. The sun is shining and I wish I was sitting in the garden with my book but hey, i'll read it here instead I guess. Going to have salad for lunch in a minute and am having some kind of meat (its red anyway) with pots, veg and mushrooms for tea. Kids will have already been fed but no doubt will still be in the fridge. Washing should have dried by time I get home so will sort out and put away in the deep, dark hole where the ironing basket lives. Then a bit of telly and bed and it starts all over again in the morning.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Taplady thinking of those tiny babies fingers crossed they are little fighters My middle brother was a twin and weighed in at under 2lb during an airraid in east london in 1941 His bigger brother sadly didn't make it but David is hale and heary and alive and enjoying life in rural France bless him.My Dad said he was just about the length og his had and even the Dr. at the time didn't think he would make it ,but he was a dertermined little bloke for all that.
    Just got back from Maidstone where I had a nice shopping trip with my DD and managed to buy a nice top for my holiday reduced to £5.00 from £12.00 so a good result(the savings paid for our lunch)Still very warm and muggy at the moment. Sald for dinner tonigh as its just too darned hot to cook.Hope everyone is having a good day
    Cheers chums and welcome to the newbies

    Have fun jam making! I discovered last year it was cheaper to buy value mint/ apple sauce and empty the jar than to buy empty jars!!
