:wave:Grateful - how is maternity leave going?

Hi, hex. I've had 4 weeks now and just done puppy training and lazed around. It was boring at first but now time is going so fast...and no sign of baby yet!

Thanks for asking, how's you??

I am saving my pennies for new pans.. They have to be absolutely bounce proof, burn proof, piggy proof, dishwasher proof, not too heavy due to my arthritis and general feebleness... so... what do you wise old owls recommend?

Not claiming any wisdom, but Mum bought me in 1994 stellar stainless steel ones and they still look good still going strong, no mending needed. eta http://www.millyskitchenstore.co.uk/Stellar1000StainlessSteel-Category-231-19-1330.html I have small saucepan, large saucepan, milk jug (great for making white sauce in) and a small casserole plus a steamer layer to go in the casserole.

DH has unpacked Mr S shopping, but nothing else achieved:o

And non-stick coating tends to be worn off with my use of forks and spoons while cooking so non-stick without teflon would be good, I dont like eating teflon.

I have a set from QVC of all places

not too heavy and the non stick coating is metal proof and burnt on food:p washes right off:j

and for anyone worried about not doing much off the lists.....I bet I have done less this week than any of you :rotfl:

Not read back - treat for later.

Meanwhile, on the lurk for an HHC to join - most peculiar day - just lets say that, as my clear intention was to be home by 2.30 pm ............. it is obviously 2.30 pm!

Off to put on more suitable clothing (ie, remove shoes) and then will see if anyone wants to join me in crazy land.

My sister just got her first victory at the old Bailey.. .. She is a defence barrister..

I'm glued to Maxine Peake in Silk :T Does she suit the wig

Not so much done in the house today, but I have been busy in the garden, out to the nursery for plants, second seed order online. Anyone spot a pattern here Had tea and cake with friends this afternoon. Going to whizz round now, then supper with DH and DS :T and possibly Prof Al Khalili for later :T

Mrs_B

OK. Going to be me on my little own-some doing a HHC at 6.00 pm then.

May have cheated by popping out to do the poo pick before it gets dark.

This one is definitely going to be on the timer though!

she said it looks like someone emptied a vacuum cleaner bag on her head!

4 loads of washing done & accidentally cleaned out the fridge. Which hadn't been done in living memory. It looks so different inside it's unbelievable!

Have a great weekend everybody.

melody69

Right that's me done. Friday's list finished and DH is home and is now drying off the windows I've just cleaned.

Thanks for the lists again. Looking forward to a cleaning-free weekend now, enjoying myself :j.

Hope everyone else will be doing something similar but whatever it is, have a good one!

Till next week...

Mrs_B

Right, well, on my lonely HHC I did all my dailies and Fridays upstairs.

Off to put food in my growling tummy, and then might try for another HHC for downstairs in a while. Maybe. Perhaps. If I can find company.
