    You just have to eat the one frog a day... but start the day with it. So I guess you need to decide each morning what that will be.

    Chocolate making has made me feel rather sick. And I started with dark chocolates, which will, of course be b*****s to get out of the moulds ... so I might leave them till tomorrow to be on the safe side. I've made the rest of the fillings... apricot, almond, rosewater, coffee. If I have time/energy/enough chocolate I've also located some pomegranate syrup...

    I have the book not seen the movie.

    Me too - got the book but off to look at linky now

    My olds came over to see us today and made muttery noises when I was on about the dodgy wall we need rebuilding - think they might offer us a little bit of £ towards it - also think we might half and half it eg half brick, half fence to reduce costs substantially. We could then put any spare £ into saving for remortgage next year as we have a massive ERC till then and our LTV is far too high to get a good new deal.

    Lists for this week have almost been done as I've been on school hols all week - will see how I get on next week but level1 seems possible for a change

    Happy birthday lady-liberty!!!
    I'm sorry it'a a day late, I didn't even look at the pc yesterday...

    Beautiful sunshine here, so I've been gardening.:D On the allotment, which is hard work, and pottering in my own garden, which is fun.

    I've finally got around to listing a whole pile of stuff on freegle, so have now decluttered two bedframes, and a lot of pots and seed trays. Still a load more of those to go - why, oh why do people say they'll definitely collect at this time on that day - and then not turn up??? And then one yesterday, walked out with a huge tray of pots, and drove off without even saying thank you to OH (who was helping another one with something). I am so tempted to email her to point out that it's polite to say thank you when you are given things - and she took hundreds of pots.:eek:

    DS1 has caught my cold, and is not a happy bunny.

    :hello:Hi to all my flylady friends!!

    :hello:And another one especially for all the teachers on the thread!
    I've just worked out that I have another week off, then two weeks when I only have two days each, so pretty much a month off!! I really need it too - with flu and then op, then a cold all last week, I was feeling totally run down.


    Love, hugs, spoons, especially for toots, lady-liberty and lamewolf.

    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be

    Washing finally folded just Squeaks stuff and the stuff on the line to do :D
    OH reloaded DW

    Chimps fed and can be depositted in bed shortly.

    Plans for tomorrow sound fun.. viewing a flat with DS1, tesco shop *cries* and bin filling.. I need to wander up the street on Tuesday see who has nicked my second bin.. if I can't find it I shall be ringing for a replacement.. I may ask for a third recycle bin too.. and I want a brown bin.. My bush would be trimmed so much more regularly if I had somewhere to put the mincings. And we need a B&Q run.. OH and I decided a BBQ next weekend might be a good idea (we will very much regret it I know!) so.. need a BBQ fit for a festival, some fence painty stuff (Dobby's job!) and about 2o rolls of lining paper for the girls room.. I might splash out and buy the £400 woth of tiles we need for the kitchen too but OH isn't yet aware of that :p
