  • hollyh Didn't get much done from the lists today but I fed five more pens of chickens and then dug up some carrots from the veg plot, ready to cook and puree later for the baby. Then picked some tomatoes from the plants growing on my compost heap! So I can probably cross off HH gardening from tomorrow's list I suppose.:j

    Good luck Rach hope everything goes smoothly and it's nice and easy for you x

    Vanilla Happy anniversary!

    I've cleaned my oven today and it is sparkling. I've also cleared the hotspot on top of the fridge. I found a book I've been looking for for ages so don't expect much from me until I've finished it:D

    DH has brought a new lappy home from work and has set it up so that I can print from it. This should sort out all the times when I need to print out blinking Parentmail permission slips and whatnot and can't because DH is the other side of the country. He's going to carry on using his old one. He's really making up for all the !!!!!! from the last few weeks :kisses3:

    A toy one.

    If you're looking for a toy owl (I think that's what it was lol) the kids program Timmy Timmy has an owl in it, I'm pretty sure I've seen some little figures of him somewhere, might be worth a google.

    In my HHC I have:

    Washed dishes and bottles
    S&S Kitchen
    TDx1
    Boiled some eggs for lunch.

    Going to make some sarnies for DS1 and I now then go upstairs to the bathroom and bedrooms :) If I can get lists done today - both bedrooms not too bad - then I might get my HHE tomorrow while DS1 is at school....
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy


    WW 37lb (2 STONE 9lbs! :j ) lost since July, 11tybillion to go...
