been to a carboot this morning but only bought 1 book. Just got back and put 2nd load in WM after changing the bed.
Planning a day of pottering - might mow lawns if enough energy and also got 2 past it bananas to put in a cake. Pork chops for DHs tea - macaroni cheese possibly for mine.

Bitsy - hope you soon feel better x

Cranky - enjoy being a sahm:) x

Today we officially become debt free:j:j:j(although the payment wont actually come out until tomorrow as its Sunday today)
its been a long hard road but we're so excited to get there!:T
House is remaining clean and tidy, you can tell the our 2 DSs are away:D

Bit of ironing to do later, DH clearing out his desk as his clutter has extended to the dining table. I've also tidied the airing cupboard out.
Looking forward to watching Sherlock tonight!

Yes, like Bread and Butter pudding. Put butter on the HXBs first then the marmalade, arrange artfully bung it in at 160-180 for about twenty mins til the top goes golden! I'll be coming too.

so will I - I'm drooling already!:D

Congrats on the debt freedom, Tappers! You have really inspired me to make more of an effort with our debts and savings, I can't believe how much you've paid off in such a short period of time. You should be very proud of yourself. X

Afternoon all

Food shop done, recycling done, returns done (and a spot of shopping too ), WM been on and laundry almost dry - a successful day so far

I didn't get back til halfway through the F1 but watching it now. Going to have lunch of baguette, cheese, coleslaw and salad. And will make a proper-ish dinner later.

Does anyone want to add me on FB?! PM if you do!

Tappers - well done on being debt free!

Happy Birthday Essex Boy.:bdaycake:

Taplady well done on becoming debt-free. It's a lovely place to be, isn't it?;)

I seem to have spent the entire morning on bloomin' paperwork for CAMRA; loads of beer scores to put on the spreadsheet, plus, because it's the 1st of the month, all the ones a year old to archive off.

Mr LW is currently ironing shirts *pauses to crack whip*.:D

Have a good Sunday, or what's left of it, everyone.:o

Well done tappers, wish I could join you in your happy dance, have a long way to go yet!!

We went to the market and picked up 6 bags of rolls, 3 white and 3 brown for £3, when I split them up I found one bag had 7 rolls in!! Obviously a bonus for buying in bulk. They are in the freezer.

On to the garden centyre for some stump killer, the snow berries are out and we have cut quite a bit off the rose, I still have a bit more to do before I do the autumn prune of the top growth. We have had to give up, its raining............ D brought the scoop from the manitou down and left it for us, its full...... he will collect it later and tip it on the bonfire.

Supper prepared, roadt pork chops and roast spuds and parsnip, green beans and carrots for the veg patch and cauliflower. Raspberries and cream for dessert again from the veg garden.

I cut a bunch of sweet peans, the smell is so strong, I can smell them in the kitchen.

Back again, tea break to keep me sane, I have hit the wall, and am feeling a bit pooped out. Cup of tea and a wee mini Curly Wurly, and I will be all set again I think. The weather has ended up quite good here, too, so the paper should dry well before bed. OH thinks I have lost my mind, I did tell him that happened donkey's ago :rotfl:
