Just resisted going out for dinner, I so wanted to but I am being good! £40 for tea out, what I am cooking will cost £6 so a saving there I think.

Done a few flings, all uniforms are washed just waiting for them to dry. Best go finish making dinner

Dusty - I hope things get better for you.

We had roast pork - a first for the boys - they loved it, I am still mostly indifferent. I did make homegrown apple sauce which was really lovely.

I drove to Cheshire today (Bridgemere garden centre if Mudbath/Maxonian are curious) in DHs new car and I really regret it now, on top of a trip to Shropshire yesterday. My knees and hips are awful, and the blocked vein in my finger is really swollen. DH is nagging about a visit to the doctors, and I feel like I am under siege :mad:.

On the positive side DH built the kitchen trolley I bought in Ikea on Friday and my useable worktop space has doubled, which gives me a home for the Kenwood :j. I have also spotted on fleabay in our village the exact twin of the welsh dresser that we here when we viewed the house which will fit nicely into the dining room of doom - just imagine how much junk I could hide in it! keep your fingers crossed it stays reasonable....


Happy Birthday callyC, ShySarah and SarahShattered

Hope you're feeling better soon BUT what were you doing going to Bridgemere without telling me? We could have met up - I'm only about 20 mins away!

last minute thing, meeting one of my sisters to drop off my other sisters winter clothes before she freezes to death, as I forgot to take them to my mums yesterday! It is only an hour for me, and plenty for the boys to do so happy to meet up there any time. Some lovely C stuff - very much liking the acid green decorations.

I'll hold you to that!

School unifroms all ready here, just need all bathed and away to bed.
Me and hubby had abit of a chat today but i think it's went in one ear and out the other. I've asked for a little help around the house and he's agreed that he needs to do more but the problem is that he says it but never does it. :mad:

Happy Birthday callyC, ShySarah and SarahShattered, what a lot of birthdays today. :bdaycake:
Dusty big hugs.

Right cuppa then get everyone bathed, fed and bed. Rhys is down for a nap and hubby in bed sleeping. :mad:

juliejim - was that a washing machine you were after? Brain like a sieve today. I recently bought a Bosch after many recommendations on here, and am very pleased indeed.

hex - definitely up for a meet in North London . Especially if it included a garden centre...;)
dusty - would you be able to make North London too? Would love to meet you both!

Yesterday was grey, damp and dreary, but I did get to the allotment for an hour or so. Today of course, is bright, warm and sunny! I did some planning this morning - more to do in a minute - and then had a couple of hours in the garden this afternoon. I whisked through the front garden, then about three quarters of the back. Next spring I am so going next door to spray their wretched bindweed!

It's perfect for gardening at the moment (I'm on clay, so have to grab the right moment) and I have plans to remove a couple of large shrubs and replace them, and remove a large over hanging branch from next door too.

Flying indoors - well, a couple of loads of washing, including all the towels. They were very nearly dry, so tumbler for just 20 minutes to finish them. I just need half an hour to clean the bathroom, then I'm all caught up.

:hello:Hi to all my flylady friends!! Love and hugs.
