Phew, just cleaned tiny freezer out, needed doing for ages. Now freezer looks nearly empty, need to meal plan before i go to farm shop as it holds next to nothing. Think i need to look out for a bigger freezer. DW done, WM done, TD done, so far so good. Hugs x

Erm... want to have some of the food from my freezers? I think I can probably survive without food shopping for about 6 months on what's in there so I must do an inventory and aim to switch off the inefficient chest freezer soon.

Happy birthday Greenbee

Here's a smallish cake so you don't need to feel guilty hun....and there's fruit too, so double win.



Feel tons better today, may even venture up to work later to ease myself back in.

So far done nothing but I have a diastrous kitchen to clean.

HHC anyone?

Oooh... fruit, chocolate and cream... all the major food groups covered then Don't overdo things - you don't want to risk relapsing.

Been to farm shop so now have salad and veg to eat with whatever is in the freezer. And eggs, as they were reduced. Need to decide soon what to take out to feed people tonight (I've sorted pudding - plum crumble - and starter - baba ganoush and toasted ciabatta - but need to work out a main course, and it will mean defrosting something. I just need to hear back from a veggie friend to see whether she's coming (if so, veggie lasagne & salad; if not some kind of game & veggies).

Preparation done for end of year review... I NEED a pay rise, and I WANT a promotion. Sadly my boss is unlikely to be brave enough to go in to battle on my behalf, so I have worked out my tactics carefully :cool:

Getting there very slowly with taking the decs down, my heart's not in it. One half of the room done and cleaned, other half I need to pack decs away and then get the tree out whilst DS1 is still home for lunch so best get back to it.

-Declutter bottom floor bathroom cupboard of doom so it no longer attacks when opened.
-Emtied washer, put washing on airer and refilled machine with bedding
-Cleaned bottom toilet and sink

Not much progress made in my HHC I'm afraid.
Cleared up the kitchen again, Why is it men are incapable of putting things back in the fridge after use and is it REALLy that HARD to put things in the dishwasher??????? Gggrrrrr!
DD stereo taken out of box and set up.
Small amount of floordrobe clearance.

Think I'd better get back to it. OH and DS will be back from gymnastics in an hour. back to make more mess for me to clear up!
