    Made inroads into the kitchen this morning. Floors need decluttering and bins want emptied which I'll do in a minute, then I need to go and make the beds upstairs. But baby has fallen asleep on my lap so I'm having a cuddle first :) He needs his nappy changed so I'll get up and make a start in a minute, promise ;)
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy

    sockdrawer - my vote is for Aldi chorizo at £1.49

    :eek: I just paid £2.50 for one in Mr T and it's not even enough for the recipe I'm doing!

    Nope, I am lucky and have a good sized back garden with room for veg (and weed) growing. Not been doing it that long so still very much a newbie. From memory Mudbath, Serena and several other people on here have one.

    Summer clothes now bagged up ready for storing, and the clean washing mountain put away neatly. Just started on the book piles next to the bed. Must not get side tracked.....

    When I get home I think I'll brush the dog first. Can only do it for a couple of minutes coz he shakes :(

    He 's a right fluffy bean so I get a handful of fur after a minute!
