    Morning All

    Half term here so hopefully I'll get lots done and still find time to have some fun with the kids.

    LR isn't too bad as i had a tidy up in there yesterday and hoovered so I'll see how I get on.

    Froddy - I was going to ask you if you'd heard from Soappie and then I read the thread. Send her hugs from me.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Froddy- thanks for letting us know about soappie. Give her ((hugs)) from me.
    Am planning a level 1/2 week; anything else will be a bonus! Got Dad here for the week & DD off school for half term so as fast as I fly it'll get undone by one of them! Ironing basket v nearly empty tho, so that's a start.
    Will report back later with progress (hopefully!!)

    love, spoons & prayers for toots, LL, LW, soappie, dusty & J - apologies if I've missed anyone..

    Cold that was threatening yesterday has arrived today, so I'm not going to the gym - I'm far to snotty! I'll try to get unpacked and tidy in between doing bits of work.

    Lamb stock has been cooking in the sc overnight so I need to think about what soup to. Ake with it before I freeze it. If the chicken has defrosted I will cook that today and make it up into things to freeze today and tomorrow, and make chicken stock overnight tonight to freeze tomorrow. So the freezer inventory definitely needs doing! I have a feeling there are masses of tomatoes infused, so a big soup or pasta sauce making session may be on the cards one day this week!

  • Good morning :beer: Thanks to all at FCC :A

    I'm in again, but won;t be around much :o It's half term and DS is in Austria for the week (so will be away from me on his birthday for the first time ever :( He's 16 tomorrow, so it will be very weird :o ). DD has university interviews, lots of course work, and life drawing classes on two days. I have a training course, and work to go to.

    So today, I'll be doing the ironing mountain, bottoming DS's room :eek::eek::eek: and decluttering :)

    Off for a run first ................

    Thanks to all at FCC.

    Hi all, including the noobs. :wave:


    Special hugs to LL, LW, Toots, Soapie and Mudbath.


    Hugs, spoons and sticks to those in need, just help yourself.

    This morning I've woken up with a really bad sore throat, so I'm going to rinse it with some hot salt water.

    Then I'll find my listy...
