un-vacation my Amazon listings - done - write an extensive note for the maid, giving her some Spring cleaning tasks, rather than giving her time off - doesn't save any money at all, but means that she and her family will eat this month
- PACK - including the Christmas presents I've knitted

- remind DS2 to bring the luncheon vouchers I've saved to the airport, as we're going on from there and we'll take the kids out for lunch tomorrow

I didn't get chance to post yesterday as it was a fairly manic day. I went up to the hospital early in the morning to see if my contrat is still open. Unfortunately not, and they're not taking on any new staff. No extra work for me there then.

I'll have to do the rounds of the supermarkets next week and see if there is the possibility of weekend work.
The rest of yesterday was spent ripping out hedges in DD's garden. We have "rescued" around five feet of garden that was burried under hedges and trees.
My list for today then:- feed, water and clean out chickens in exchange for some eggies
- hang HC outside (but it looks a bit grey at the moment)
- get down to allotment to harvest the potatoes and plant swedes
- blanch and freeze carrots
- pick more blackberries and elderberries if the other villagers haven't got there first
