  • Morning everyone. well my course went well, it was rather intense but I really enjoyed it and have learnt loads!!! Didn't get back last night till abot 8pm and found a REALLY messy house, it appears my OH has done nothing:(..... not even put things in the DW? I was so tired last night I just went to bed! So today I have alot of clearing up to do. I've posted the list but to be honest i think I'm only going to manage the dailies and maybe some level 1's.
    I hope everyone is well and happy, I've not had chance to read through the thread.

    Have you done it yet Valli? Do you want me to pm the answer?
    I did it twice, then couldn't do it, then did it again, then couldn't do it, so went to bed!

    Bet I can't do it this morning...

    Kitchen is tidy. Need to decide what to feed friends at lunchtime (someone is dropping in with a whole lot of cake decorating bits as she's been let down and needs a monkey birthday cake for 60 for sunday...), and do some hot spot work in between bits of paid work. Went to massage, and have been told not to run for two days :( but as it's raining it isn't a great hardship!

    Anyone else having issues connecting to FB?

    Happy Birthday Kazw and Miss A :D
  • In my HHC, I'v efinished the kitchen jobs, and prepped some veg which are now sweating on the Rayburn, for pancetta and lentil soup for lunch (with my sourdough bread :j ).

    How did you get on Mollina and wilf?

    Going to do another HHC upstairs 10:30 - 11;00 :j Anyone else?

    Having spent yesterday away at Dads, I appear to have missed the next big thing.
