    Piggers , I need your advice...

    DS1, aged 22 and a ASD sufferer, was caught fair and square brushing bread and cake crumbs into the cutlery drawer, coz he didn't want to 'mess the side up'...

    I was speechless, unusual I know, I glared and he left the room with his sarnies...

    I really don't know what to say, he knows better... he knows I know etc... help !!!!

    I always use the eco cycle and it takes and aaaage!
    Do you think it's less electricity to do the short one? And really thats more eco?
    Is the eco one just more efficient on water?
    I've got one of those electrickery monitors so maybe I'll check :)

    Gas man's been - he had to come in so he got dogged (our word for being bounced all over by over excitable puppies that leave fur all over you). :rotfl: I wasnt expecting him to come in so was soooooooo glad I'd been flying! (and no towel in sight ;) )

    Finally wiped down the kitchen units :eek: change your perspective, they're sooooo much more filthy if you sit on the floor and look at them! (dont ask, the floor seemed like a good idea at the time ;) )

    Made cake and it's in the oven. I'm wearing the flour! Mix tasted yummy, new type of vanilla in it :)

    Waiting for the veg man.

    Must make some lunch but the plan is jacket tater and I wont be able to do that until the cake's done.

    Bathroom's done apart from the bog.

    Need to do the stairs, but OMG that's a marathon job (brown carpet + fluffybutt's = husky coloured carpet) have to work up to it.

    Right now do I make shortbread? Or will I eat it all?
    Is there any point logging me food on daily plate if I go over my targets all the time??? (cake mix of course doesnt count, it's not cake yet ;) )
