    In my HHC, I've tidied the kitchen, and got the sourdough rising on the Rayburn.

    How did the rest of you do? Going to have a coffee, then HHI and HH-paperwork :)

    Mornin' all,

    'Get better soon' vibes to all the poorlies.
    Sorry to hear about your friend Toots, you are in my thoughts.

    I need to pick the collective flylady brain - I have a tub of Stork for baking in the fridge that went out of date on 15th Jan, it smells & looks fine, should I use it?

    Lots to do this morning before work. I've lost some flying time during the week now as I've started catching the bus to work. They've bought out a new weekly ticket which is cheaper than using my car, so no parking hassle on my late start days & also an hour extra reading time a day! But I get home an hour later :(
