Hello all!

Pigpen et al, thank you for the lists. I have made a start - Monday I was ill with a bug and last night was cadets. I am giving myself up to Friday afternoon to see what I can get done, I am sick of being tired all week and then rushing and resenting home cleaning all weekend. Especially when the weather is so nice!

Not had time to read any of the thread (sorry) so best wishes to all.

lots of love

ps - the garden looks very good though :j

Been poorly all day - cold, cough, eas ache, sore throat, AF visiting and then throwing up - now feeling hungry but Pizza is all I fancy !?!?!?!

Oh dear, poor you - one thing after another. Huge hugs and hope you feel much better tomorrow. It's promising that you're hungry again; let's hope the sickness has passed now xx

But here is my token appearance for this week - and some flying, is better than no flying, right?

Absolutely!!! Each bit you do is making a difference and it will make it that little bit easier next time. Just do little baby steps and they all add up you know.


Still not done that ironing and am going to admit defeat - it can wait until tomorrow. I had an unexpected typing job for new chap (new typing chap, not new OH!) so whizzed that back to him quickly :A. Did everything else on list so not bad, though really don't know what I'm going to get done tomorrow as out a fair chunk of the day.

pigpen I think you'll outlive the lot of us. Certainly you'll have a much greater legacy :rotfl:

ETA: This was a compliment - just re-read it and realised it could be taken another way.

hi all

i am still here but lambing

52 lambs so far

aiming for level 1 ish this week and for next 3 to 4 weeks until lambing is over and i can come back inside for more than 20 minutes at a time...

We are eating mainly HM ready meals out of freezer, pasta and sauce etc...

it is thanks to this thread and the rest of this board that i can cope with life during lambing as i batch cook every week and the 2 freezers (one normal kitchen one and one giant commercial chest freezer) are full and half the content of one is HM ready meals that can be just bunged in oven, and of veg ready to bung in simmering oven to make a HM soup for lunch..

thanks to this board my daily routines are now automatic and i swish and swipe the bathroom and shine my 2 kitchen and utility sinks without even knowing i am doing so, i put the stuff in the bread machine every night whilst sleepwalking it seems as it has become such a habit..the kids put dirty washing straight into the machine and i turn it on every night ..(we dont worry about mixed washes - we just don't buy white clothes:o )

anyway off to fill up the breadmaker and turn on the WM and DW
before bed for a few hours

artichoke I know about the sleepwalking thing. Sometimes I've got no idea how things happen around here. Glad to hear you've got all the catering taken care of. Hope all the little lambies are all doing well. We haven't got any up here yet. Hopefully soon as they are seriously cute - and Oz ignores them so I can still walk through the fields while they are gambolling around ( although I keep a much closer eye on him than normal just in case)
