I'm not up to cleaning today but I am going to attempt some soup making to use up the manky mushrooms from the fridge and see if I can muster enough energy to make a banana loaf and then write down to ginger cake recipe from last weeks thread

Might attempt some HHI later on if possible

Pen-pen - you've set me off wanting a slice of cake now with a cuppa!

penpen can I ask a henhouse cleaning question? Is it okay to use Jeyes fluid? Or will all the eggs be tainted by it. We started cleaning the stone flags with it and then DS3 has used it in the hen house.

Just the filter to wash now; and additionally I've cleaned all the loos and made a slow-cooker curry for tonight, so feeling very smug now.

Must dash out into the garden for beans - then off on school run. See you all tomorrow - hugs to all who need them, and fond thoughts for Toots

Thanks for that Sexy, I have everything needed so think that is what I will make Thursday. Don't have time tomorrow or Wednesday as we are off to Costco and WinYip in Croydon tomorrow and then DH's parents for dinner on Wednesday I shall use it as my down time on Thursday after STEPPS, I'll need it..lol

Ok that's all the flying done for the day - kitchen looks all sparkling and clean and living room looks nice and tidy. Shall hoover once DH has finished going in and out of the garden, he is mowing so is traipsing grass in and out..lol.

I'm now going to add my new Yankee Candles to my list on the computer, then watch my afternoon of SciFi on Virgin One

DS3 has a middle ear infection and is on antibiotics. He is shattered as he was up most of last night with the pain. We just had a lovely sleepy cuddle.

Done HHI today but haven't really got any energy after a busy, fun filled weekend.

Need to collect DD2 in a minute, I hope the walk will wake me up a bit. DS3 can stay in as DH is working from home.
