Phew,

Got a fair bit ticked off...

Done 3 lots of washing up including grill (eeek)
Taken rubbish out and fetched wheely bin in
Order huge amount of batteries for Christmas (Know a very cheap website if anyone needs it) 10 AA batteries = £2.20 (Duracell too)
Binbag Dance
Litter tray cleaned and refeshed
Had lunch and got dressed and washed
De-cluttered table in LR
Refreshed candle holders
Cleaned oven
Cleaned all cupboards/window sills and appliances
Written on extra christmas cards and a birthday card

Need to hoover through and mop up but that is waiting until I have my new fire grate in place it is bound to create a mess changing them over. Gauranteed mopping of kitchen floor by walking all over it in muddy trainers after fetching the wheely bin in from roadside.

One of special guys presents has finally arrived!!! More praying tomorrow!

Now having a coffee while I decided which recipes to use for the cookies. Thinking maybe a batch of twinks with a seasonal twist.. orange, cinnamon and sultanas and maybe also some HFW Choc Chip Cookies. Will do the couscous tomorrow as it is a combination of lots of fresh ingredients and dried fruits so needs to be freshly made.

Will also stick plants in sink after baking session so they get lots of time to absorb water. Ok, off to find twinks recipe

Where do you get your batteries?! We get through a lot, for Xbox controllers mainly... (Mostly when Mr L's friends come to play...Bless 'em, if there's a new game out they get so excited, and act like they're about 10! :rotfl::rotfl:)

Hi all,

I have been AWOL for a couple of days but intend to crack on with the flying today. I have blitzed the living room this morning and DS1 and DD are sanding the beams in holiday cottage next door. DH has 'man flu' and is in bed today.
yay on getting your heating sorted pigpen.

Obviously and thankfully no smokey things! Have also taken a load of photographs/pictures to framer...one of which i've had for 3 years!:o
Been to dump (again!), post office and shop. Bought a load of reduced organic meat so freezer is full. Phoned ex FIL about staying...told him only for 3 nights this time! We are busy so i wasn't lying. Swapped providers for phone etc saving myself in the region of £300 per year:eek: ! Should have done this months ago. Off to sort rest of toys to offload to a friend/charity shop or dump. If cleanliness is next to godliness then I will be going to heaven! (well if i get it all finished by tomorrow!)

Hope all well. xx
