Cheated last HHC. Went upstairs and saw the lavender bags I was making so I spent the time finishing them.

Bag of coal brought over, fire lit, dog fed, recycling out, both laptops and tv cleaned and now to get some lunch.

After lunch will be dw, wm and td. Then i'll spend a bit of time on the livingroom.

Greenbee that did make me laugh.

Pollybear

Afternoon all.

I'm in, probably just doing my normal lists. I have made a chicken stew this morning and I'm just about to put it back on and do the dumplings. Some washing draped round. I've cleaned the kitchen/diner, polished and dusted the living room and vacuumed right through and done up the stairs.

Have flown er through the thread, how many pages already! Biggest hugs for Greenbee today, couldnt have put it any better than vanilla did.

Well have hopefully done all the shopping bits I needed including spending a fortune on bits n pieces to make Christmas party bags for DD's friends coming round this afternoon for a little get together.

DH is currently waiting to see if his solicitor could get there having had several trains cancelled so fingers crossed.

I need to refind my list and crack on as there is how much food shopping to put away :eek:
