    Excellent weekend event for me by the way - had a text last night from one of the organisers to say that on the feedback forms from the delegates, the only item scoring Excellent from everyone was the Catering! :j:T:j:T:j I don't have a very good opinion of myself, so am sadly very happy about that!
    Well done you - and the organisers will be pleased as well.
    The quality of the food does tend to be remembered.

    Off to do some flying. Mrs Dog has already switched the DW on for me. :eek:

    Fluffy mule required!
    At best some motivation or possibly a kick up the rear end :)

    I'm tired, I'm not sleeping. My cold is still ongoing and I've pulled or ripped something in the side of my ribs. A sneeze results in a scream and coughing doubles me up and makes me whimper and I HATE it!
    Ibuprofen taken and have muscle repair protein shake to take when I can face it.

    I'm sat here feeling sorry for my self. I'm tired and that makes me think too hard and I'm emotional.

    Mebbe I should put the kettle on?

    Hugs and spoons to you nixie.

I want to try and give the house a once over today and tomorrow as dogbot is going in to done tomorrow as he has started trying to hump every other dog he meets.

  • I ran straight through to the next HHC as well, PenPen, and have just sat down with a cuppa. In that time I:

    * Put the washing on to spin
    * Dug up leeks and picked chard and parsley from the garden
    * Put the tops on the pies, and used the extra pastry to line a quiche tin
    * Made a Pecorino and spring greens quiche using up some dodgy yoghurt
    * Put my lunch on to cook
    * Wiped the mud off the bin lids after trimming and cleaning the leeks

    Am going to eat early and cook the bread meanwhile. Then I'm heading outside for a while to enjoy that sunshine while gardening... Also need to do some cleaning! And sort the washing/airing cupboard out.

    Back later today

    Thanks for the lists again :) I actually managed to complete quite a bit of it last week :D:j I also have added "Help mum fly" to DD's reward chart, delegation will be implemented ;)

    Not caught up with the thread yet, as I'm due to go out and collect more books. Just posting my list and then will be leaving. Will add my personal one later when I find it....
