    Got back from holiday so am not up to speed with people's news.House was tidy and clean until we unpacked the car! Lots of washing done and dried on line but still more to go.
    Have got the level ones for the week and will try to get some of them done this morning.
    Picked LOADS of runner beans yesterday. We had them with dinner and DGSs and DD2 all went back to the basket again and again to munch them raw and we've still got a basketful. Shall be giving a load away!
    Today we must pick the tomatoes and make into passata and salsa to freeze.
    The chillis and peppers turned bright red while we were away.
    Must make lamb rogan with lo lamb from yesterday and freeze it and must prepare windfall apples for freezer.
    Hope everyone is OK, take care all,
    Cheers

    WM hot run through
    shower
    S&S bathroom/shower room
    clean kitchen sink[/STRIKE]

    walk to local pond
    pick blackberries
    pick garden cherry plums
    pick beans and tomatoes
    DS1 to do some gardening debt
    [STRIKE]HHG for me

    DS3 - friend coming[/STRIKE] and trumpet practice

    Hope to find time for some paperwork too.

    Have a good one flyers.

    be reading this website http://sixitemsorless.com/ and am toying with the idea of signing up for the next challenge

    what would your six items be???

    I think mine would be
    black jeans (smart)
    white v neck t shirt
    black v neck t shirt
    black pencil skirt
    black jacket
    smart floaty floral and black dress

    That would take me most places!!
