    HH damage limitation done and I've calmed down a bit. I have a turkey and ham pie to make for tonight (and something with blackberries) and ribs are in the fridge for tomorrow. The rest of the meat was fortunately ok. All ice cream had to go in the bin, along with a few other bits and pieces - fortunately nothing expensive or treasured. There are a few leftovers which will need eating soon and I've got a lot of bread (brown sliced, pitta, baguette) - maybe our NN would like some, otherwise I will have to fling what we can't use. The DSs will have to have the two small pizzas for lunch.

    Overall, it could have been much worse. I'm still mad with him though, because this is really just the final straw. Time for a talk about consideration and team spirit, I think.

    Going to put batteries in DS2's kiddizoom now and get dressed. I don't dare post another HHC (something else will happen), so will have to join in with other people's.

    Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten.

  • Oh dear Mrs Chaos.....what a complete b*mm*r! Can you not just freeze the bread down again? I've done that in the past - it's not like it's meat or anything....

    Hi everyone! Got up and felt active, so I have already done a few jobs:
    * Dry washing taken down and folded
    * Wet washing hung up
    * Dishwasher emptied and refilled
    * Loaf of bread made

    It's half-term, so progress is a little slower than usual....!

    Am going to start at 11:15 with a HHC to do a few more daily jobs. Will try to get DD to give me a hand....

    Anyone want to join me?

    Miss H

    p.s. where are my manners? Thanks for the list as ever; and special thoughts for
    Lady-L, Toots, Soappie & LW

    Hi all
    Just dropping in to say hello and to say I'm in again this week - although I may be lurking more than posting due to it being half-term!

    We're currently in a loft-junk reducing phase and I've got loads of things to sort though to either give to my sis (who's due to have a baby within the next 2 weeks), freecycle/charity, or send to the dump.

    Today, I will be tackling the kitchen, which now needs to have space found for all the good glasses we have liberated from the loft! Plus it's an absolute mess at the moment. I've also got to finish emptying the fridgefreezer as it's being replaced on Friday. Well, it is over 12 years old!!

    Hope everyone is OK? Sending hugs/spoons/kicks in the rear as necessary...

    Take care
    D
