    LW spoons heading your way. I'm having a good day. Can stand to go into kitchen now.

    Need to construct my own Toot's list. But I think I'm too scared. Maybe when I get back from France.

  • Doing well so far Children have spent most of morning amusing themselves inside and out and DD(12) cleared the playroom's floor of toys and other bits without being asked!!!

    Right can I ask what does FCC stand for? can't work it out - probably obvious when you tell me:D

    Have done those that are struck through plus I've got ahead by doing some other bits as work tomorrow means no flying except basic dailies!!

    If I come and claim credit for doing all the miscellaneous washing up gibble, emptying the DW, emptying and refilling the WM before 7.00 am today, please can I ask for urgent advice?

    Am making a cake for someone's "special" birthday - chocolate with chocolate icing. The icing is particularly yummy, so I want to use that, but I can't pipe it to make it look good - will be more swirly as it doesn't spread to a nice looking finish either. Need to decorate the cake up to be special - no numbers allowed (!) but I do not have perfect colour vision, so am wondering what colours to use for decorations. I would go for yellow probably, but would appreciate anyone with perfect colour vision telling me whether that was OK or whether they would suggest using a different colour. Need to go look at sugar flowers and ribbons and the like on the way home tonight. And need to go off and check whether one candle is allowed!

    Toots Many thanks for the suggestion - this could be a WIP. ;)

    Piggers are you feeling a ittle better now you're in your own place again – with food you can actually eat? I do so sympathise – I've been in a similar situation with people assuming that vegetarian = fish eater.
    I have eaten 5 fishfingers with egg fried rice, a tin of beans and sausages and 2 slices of toast... so yes.. still hungry and stomach playing catch up but I am feeling a bit better. I have said to OH I am not going next time ( I probably will otherwise they won't see Squeak) and when I do next go I am taking my own stuff for sandwiches, breakfast cereal and milk (they get skimmed but by full grease milk for OH and I want semi :p) and my own fruit (they have apples and bananas and I can only eat oranges or about 5 grapes.)

    FCC stands for Flylady Central Command (or Control) :D

    Just got back from helping walk the school kids up and down to church, seems like we will be helping again tomorrow. Miss A is at craft club until 4 so I have a wee while to get a few bits done.

    I did mow the front lawn earlier and the green bin is just about full, ready for emptying on Wednesday.
