    Save some apple crumble for me - I'll be round in about 4 hours or so :D

    Now now, no fighting ladies - there's plenty left. I made it in the biggest dish I had :p

    I had a little snooze on the sofa earlier - only about 20 minutes, but it gave me a boost, so I prepared dinner, then went outside and swept the driveway (yes, we now have a drive! :j), cut down some overhanging trees and went to the tip.
    We hung some pictures and mirrors today too, so it's starting to feel more like home :)

    Feeling abit sleepy now - but have a nice basket of ironing waiting and really must look for car insurance as mine runs out this week. The fun nevers stops and it's Monday tomorrow!

    nice to hear that your new house is starting to feel like home x

    Sorry to read that you've had a very testing time with your DD, as you say, she will probably be one powerful lady one day!

    Your house sounds gorgeous, and to still have "bags of original features" is a huge bonus .... and an apple tree, fab! Pleased to read that it's starting to feel like home.

    You must like sewing/making things since you have so many sewing machines :rotfl: I recently had to alter the headers on 2 pairs of heavy curtains by hand, as the material was too thick for the sewing machine, it took me hours, an industrial machine would have been useful then :rotfl:

    Have a good day everyone :D

    I did wonder about that as I wrote it - I knew it was just going to be me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I prefer to think of them as "nicely caramelised".....
