    Am just sitting down for 5 mins at the end of my 3/4HC - am making some progress, but not really in the right direction. Must be firm, now....

    Still, I have:

    * Inspected the fridge and found 3 desperately broken eggs (yes: DH took the shopping in from Sainsbury's end of last week and dropped the carrier with two boxes of eggs in it... :eek:) and two desperately wrinkled lemon halves (you know when the skin is rock-hard, but the inside is still juicy if you cut the end off...:cool:)

    * So I made a lemon and blackberry drizzle cake...which is in the oven now

    * And I found 1 large sprouting onion and two red wrinkly peppers and a pack of chicken pieces we were going to eat last night, but got in too late to cook...

    * So that's gone in the oven as well, and will soon have a jar of red Thai curry sauce poured over it. Dinner sorted!

    So I'm making progress on the fridge item of Pigpen's list, which I forgot to say "Thanks very much" for when I logged on earlier.

    Dishwasher is on with all the cooking utensils/bowls in it, and I've cleared away all the flour etc, so I've got no excuse now and will have to go and clean the rest of the kitchen. :o

    Off I go, chasing Longtermlurker & AnW'sMum - will stop at 1:00pm for a break, I think. Catch me if you can!

    MissH

    Well you normally buy them in liquid form then freeze them. Little tubes of juice , cola , strawberry etc. They charge £1 for them at the caravan site I can but 100 here for that price. Just looked at a box in the freezer they say freezepops on them if that makes more sense:D

    Ice pops :j

    In my latest HHC, I got sidetracked by my garden :D We have a bunny guest, so I've chatted to him, and we shared some strawberries ;) The rest of the strawbs are picked (to jam this pm), weeding done, pottering about :D

    I've prepared a curry, to cook when I get in from work tomorrow. Going to have lunch then see what else needs doing :)

    Well that was better.

    Emptied and washed two bins
    Dealt with the post
    Put a load of clothes away
    Walked up and down stairs loads to get all this lot done!
    Dumped a load of clothes on W's bed :mad: he was [strike]told[/strike] asked to fold some clothes that were on the floor in a heap and place them on his chair. What did he do? Yup he shoved them in a scrunch in a drawer, so they are now on his bed and he WILL fold them after school :D

    Lunch now and then I shall start again, anyone joining me at 1.30?
