    Washing up - only a few dishes to do. Hopefully get them done tonight. (I just want to point out that this has been here so long as I've had a stack of pans to wash then rewash when I discovered they weren't as clean as I thought, baking trays to wash & numerous things to soak on top of the normal washing up!:p )

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
  • Good morning :beer: I've been awake since 5:30, so read my book :) Going to get the kettle on for a pot of tea for me and the teens, then a bit of bimbling before I take them to swim club and I hit the supermarket :o

    Chicken carcase in the rayburn to make stock for onion soup for lunch, which we'll have with HM cheese croutons and HM bread.

    Have a lovely day everyone :A

    Morning Pen - I woke up wide awake at 6.30am and decided to get up for a cuppa

    Will have this then zoom around the LR and then study for rest of the day.

    Lunch is HM chestnut soup and HM brown bread

    Yanke candle going on when LR clenaed - a delicious Apple Pie fragrance!

    Just to say, I'm still alive...just fallen off the wagon quite heavily.

    I'm getting there, though!

    I hope everyone is OK? Sending loads of hugs, spoons, etc to anyone who needs one.

    Extra busy day today:

    Do my dailies
    • Be in town for 9.30 to help out at a meeting
    • Buy some 'smart casual' clothes *shrugs* and see if I can find some shoes
    • Assist OH with the removal of the fitted wardrobe. email Freecycle person who wants them.
    • Fill the holes in the living room walls.
    • Assist OH with the putting up of a curtain pole.
    • Make a start on cleaning the final wall.
    • Aussie Christmas cards to organise - mail merge some labels (if I can remember how to!)
    • Supermarket shopping list to generate - not sure whether online order or in person. Depends if I find 'smart casual' clothes in our woefully inadequate town centre.
    • Cobble together some dinner - not sure what we're having yet...
    • Do some more study
    I don't think my feet will touch the ground today...:eek:

    Right, better go and raise the troops...they want to come with me, but I don't think they realise that when I say I'm leaving at 9, I'm actually going at 9...

    Take care all

    Morning all

    Didn't plan to get up early but as I am I'm having some toast and honey and a cuppa and getting on with bits on here.

    Hoping it stays dry so that I can rake the leaves in the back garden later and DH can chop wood as the store is very low.

  • huge (((hugs))) for pigpen - dont let his attitude spoil your weekend or the time you have with OH - I am glad you are talking to the solicitor - maybe you could consider not letting the children go for a couple of weeks - or would that be playing to his hands?

    calming vibes for you - hope your weekend goes well xx

    hugs, spoons, congratulations and commiserations as appropriate

    toots xx
