House is a tip and I've got a friend coming this afternoon so I need to tidy up. Best crack on with a HHC at 11.30. Anyone else joining in?

Morning all (just )

Hugs to PenPen and everyone else going through a tough time.

Feeling very privileged, as not back at work until Monday. (DS1 at college from Tuesday and DS2 back at school Wednesday). Had a grumpy day on Tuesday, which only got better when I found the most juicy and enormous blackberries in a friend's yard - was happily still making jam just before midnight (first time in absolute ages).

Since my last post I've managed a few things, but no proper flying. Been to charity shop/dump/costco for last big shop before work on Monday. Got petrol cheaper with a voucher from Mr M. :j Also had too many lie-ins.

DH is sulking again, so I won't get much help from him today, despite it being his day off. I'd hoped he'd tidy the garden shed so we can fit DS1's bike in, but that won't happen now.

Before looking at any lists I need to:
bring towels in
peg DS1's bedding out (nice weather is continuing )
empty and re-load DW
S&S kitchen
find homes for costco shopping (15 bags of sugar :eek:)
update list

Also have cooking and baking to do today:
blackberry and apple crumble cake
cauli soup
courgette soup (MIL's exDH gave me a huge courgette/marrow)
potato/carrot/bean soup with frankfurters, using tiny new spuds from garden

HHC 11.30-12, anyone?
ETA Looks like it's you and me, sunnygirl.
