OK - DW on, WM emptied, BM on. Not so keen on the Oxtail Stew. Not a lot of meat and although it smelt amazing the flavour wasn't so good. Might give it another go with some more seasoning if I get some more in a DR pack.

Just watching the snow forecast for the weekend. Joy. Oz will love. DH on call this w/e so out 0730 and back 2300ish. More using up freezer food. Going to try and go into hospital to see friend tomorrow. His son has taken the dog so I haven't got that to contend with as well. Sounds like his motor skills are all there but he can't process thoughts to speech and is getting frustrated. Another friend took photos of all of us and the dogs on our normal dog walk this morning and was going to get them printed off at Asda to take in to him.

:hello:Hi, I'm home!!

Very little chance of catching up on the thread this week, so I hope you're all well, and have been good!

I've had a very good week, but am absolutely shattered.

Just caught the pictures on the news - shocked.

Crap start to the day, Gran got herself in a pickle at some point early in the morning and was stuck 1/2 on and 1/2 off her bed, couldnt get her up, so the carer had to call in a colleague and we manhandled her up onto the bed and got her sorted out:cool:

TAG

Bit late but - HHC

WM unloaded, DW loaded and on, tea done and scoffed ummmmm that was it. Bit rubbish really but....... even though I've only done 3 stints of HHC today and concentrated on Level Ones, the house is looking much, much better.

Off to hang some washing to dry.... somewhere!

Valli

Hooray

Tag's back - now I don't need to worry about Fred being light on laundry-and-ironing etc obsessives if I am lurking rather than posting

washed towels, dried on line, did Friday errands, stripped beds; 1 lot of bedding washed so I'm about to get that out of the WM and fold it nicely in case it's peg-outable tomorrow and I shall put some more in

I have recluttered with 4 CDs, 3 cassettes and 3 DVDs:o but they were free:D

I have also managed to enter up my last THREE bank statements - paperwork seems to be taking a back seat. Think the Vallikids aren't going to their dad's tomorrow...oooh must ask the NDN if he'll pop in and throww some food at the felines...and my hands are VERY VERY sore - need loads of TLC, handcream and ME TO WEAR RUBBER GLOVES

oh and I'm a glam redhead again

gonna go and ask the e bay peeps for some advice

Jinky - well done on getting the job, what will you be doing.

Kitchen hotspot is no more.
Selection or recipe cutting for the next couple of weeks pinned on the wall for inspiration.
Doing well with the email decluttering/replying

Time to get DS3 to bed before Gardeners World.
