    runner bean pickle made - slightly strange ingredients - will have to see what it tastes like :rotfl:

    Not enough raspberries to convert into raspberry vinegar - will jst eat these instead :D

    Banana Loaf was delish -yummy :D

    Have ratatouille making as we speak before the ubiquitous courgettes and aubergines went off - nice to have the time to make it properly and not rush it after work. Also baking potatoes for work lunches

    What else - waiting for the foor to dry and the WM is on a cleaning cycle with the last few cleaning cloths

    All ready to start again tomorrow :eek:

    Next thing is meal plan for the week and then get ready for the Murray match later on the radio

    Definately feel better today if I've managed this compared to how I felt last week

    Not to mention exhausting ...
    Congratulations Aunty greenbee - does he have name yet? hope he gets the feeding habit sorted PDQ!
    toots xx
    Yes, he has got a name, but seeing as I like to be relatively anonymous on here, I'm not telling :D. He has managed one feed from a bottle, and is now a lot more lively, so fingers crossed he'll get the hang of breastfeeding later today. I know my SIL wants to breastfeed, and they're planning on going to the clinics if they do keep having problems.

    Right... better go and supervise my mother... I think she should do a bit of gardening in return for her board and lodging!

    Grateful - when OH is trying to work out what to do re. the kids, I am mindful of the experiences of those on this thread. I know like hex's OH he wants his kids to be happy and well-looked after. He's currently paying all the bills, but is moving over to paying an allowance for next month - his ex told him how much she needed, he went over the bank statements and is giving her more as he's pretty sure she's got it wrong. Then again, if she didn't let food rot in the fridge, she might need less.

    Pigpen that is good, a shower in peace when you have a baby can be such bliss! Hope Tabstick is better soon x
    MrsChaos possibly alternator if it's on and off. Can usually get reconditioned, second hand (scrap yard) or new, depending what car depends how much
    Hex wish we had free food, I never get bored of repeated meals/food oh and I'd keep what you bought him at home for him to use, how thick must she be?
    Greenbee congratulations on becoming an aunty :D I've always made new mum friends meals & a treat which is always appreciated
    gratefulforhelp if he doesn't know already also tell him not to tip it on it's side, tip up on the back wheels only is usually a good rule for mowers

    Flower type people, have you thought of joining a seed/plant swap. I know one exists up here but there is loads if you google seed or plant swap and your area.

    I've made nothing, in fact thanks to a trip to Brymor (the best ice cream shop EVER!) I've not even got room in my freezer :D shame huh. Anyway we've had a nice day, boys not back until Wednesday so we're on practise tie and lace fastening until then. 2 things DS1 is yet to master!

    I'm going to do a 30 minutes rubbish fling to make me feel better for being out all day :o washer load in/out too I think.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Mind you we have just been presented with a £1500 bill for a trip to South America with school that we would never have signed off for our pair.....

    eek! and that's hard on your two, but then they have both parents and I'm sure thats worth more.
