Do and inventory of what is actually in there
Ironing
General tidy up in kitchen and lounge

That was awful I hate defrosting the freezer particularly in the state it had got in. I did find some interesting food combinations though

Morning all, in an act of unprecedented selfishness I'm going for a pedicure and facial in a minute.

Have a lovely time

Im still here too - sorry!

I hung out washing on the line, and put the first two washed pillows in the TD. I have since washed another two and now some of the bedding and mattress protector is in.

I have made the boys lunch, decluttered some food myself and my friend who used to be a neighbour came in, so she distracted me for a bit.

Am off to check the TD and see if the pillows are dry and shuffle them round.

Right, I have done level 1, 2 and 3 (and did yesterday's hoovering/decobwebbing) plus -

Unloaded washing machine and hung it on airer (indoors as the weatherman thinks it's April not August)
Put another load in
S&S Kitchen, done dishes, bottles etc
Made 2 portions of cauliflower and broccoli cheese with pasta for DS1 and put one in fridge for tomorrow
Supervised DS1 eating cauliflower and broccoli cheese with pasta as I don't trust him with my new rug
Thrown away manky dead flowers from 2 bunches and combined the rest that have a few more days life in them

Now I'm sitting on my bum, which is dangerous as I need to clear away Ollie's lunch and get him to pick up his 11tybillion cars off the living room floor so I can hoover down here before bub needs feeding at 2, if I don't do it now I might lose my willpower... might even ger to have some lunch myself at some point

Banana muffins and a trip to the bank (probably involving the great British sport of shower dodging) planned for this afternoon.

Bring on the weekend...it gets easier, right?

Afternoon all, not caught up yet so I hope everyone's OK.

I seem to have done all the lists, in the wrong order and in four days but as long as they're done....

Today I've made a victoria sandwich and an apple cake (recipe thanks to Money Saving Diva if you're watching )

Not enough washing for a load but they've forecast rain, dry so far though.

Dinner cooking so I'll just try to catch up while I can.



Sending every good wish to Lady L.
