Garden tidied and swept and planted out bulbs from pots for next year. Tomorrow will sow more seeds and do that side of the garden as i need to crack on with some reading for the essay I've put off until now

Easy tea tonight which is leftovers from yesterday and salad.

Kidney beans soaking for use tomorrow in bean and lentil loaf, had a quick look in the fridge and all ok. Leftover apple pie and cream for lunch as nothing else to get ready

Planning to get diet back on track next week after this essay is out of the way and some exercise too for the first time in weeks with all this physio going on atm

Dusty I meant to say earlier if we are feeling anticlimatic after the royal wedding what about Kate Middleton (oops should be DOC instead now!) She has had flunkies attending to her every need for days, next week she will 'just' be an 'ordinary' housewife have to run the house whilst her husband goes to work! Perhaps we should recruit her on here

That would be really funny HRH flying with us :rotfl:

Morning runs of cricket/reffing done
Washing on the line

Going to feed the neighbours cats and then carry on with the kitchen, bored of it being a dumping ground.

I've done some very superficial weeding... pulling up the ground elder, goosegrass, creeping buttercup etc that would come easily. I can see I'll need to focus on the garden for a bit when I get back from work at the end of next week if I'm going to have any chance of keeping it under control. I think I need a gardener...

My nice new shiny bin has served a purpose.. I threatened to drag it upstairs at 4pm and empty the girls room into it if their floor was not visible and vacuumed by then.. the floor is visible and vacuumed.. not perfect but they are 6, 8 and 10 so I didn't expect perfection.

Now to wrangle some of the clothes that are too small from DS3's cupboard... he gets very.. attached.. to the strangest of things!

I am getting a brown bin on 10th May!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!! I can trim my bush and mince my grass!!!!!!!!!!!!

baby nest and baby chair put away until Dot arrives.. I found floor space.

Car seat for pliko going on netmums in a bit.. I don't need it and I can't be faffed posting it either! .. that'll clear another chunk of floor. The carrycot for the pliko is going to the outaws next time we go for the baby to sleep in.. Squeak can go in the travel cot and Dot can go in the carrycot until about 5- months.. will make it easier in the short term I think.

I am not holding my breath or getting excited BUT hopefully I have a roofy guy coming tomorrow at 10am to give me a quote for the guttering/pointing/bay roof

I REALLY hope he turns up.. I want to get the room plastered ASAP and can't until we have guttering and pointing done..

Fingers crossed, pigpen.
We all want that roof and guttering sorted:rotfl:

I am sick of moaning about it!!! lol.. honestly it has been an absolute nightmare!

I emailed 6 people, 1 bounced and 1 repied so far.. though the others might not be working until Tuesday so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and nag tham on Thursday!

Car seat up on netmums.. fingers crossed it shifts..

I am now going to sort DS3's clothes and organise the huge binbag of girls stuff into 2 smaller bags and sell separately.. and see what else I can get rid of while I am up there!

nothing done today so far but I plan on planting stuff, mostly veg as I was talking to a mate who is a wholesale fruit and veg supplier for the main big supermarkets, he says the price is going up and up, he said caulis will be £2 each very soon. He also said keep an eye out for seasonal glut stuff and get in quick when you see it;) look for farmers gate type veg

laundry - WIP - losing count
homework with DS2
school work
maybe clean LR window and front door (NN had house sandblasted the day after the window cleaner had been :eek:)
phone SIL to change arrangements for birthday meal
[STRIKE]lunch[/STRIKE]
tea
general flying - 15min each in LR, kitchen, [STRIKE]bedroom[/STRIKE], bathroom, DR, DS2's room

ETA DS1 sent upstairs 10min ago to change his bedding, hunt down laundry and tidy the bottom of his stairs (he's in the lot). Shall we run a book on how long it will take him? I think he just moved LOL!

Asked DH to bring some cola back as he's walking through town on his way back from the pub. I'm finally going to try gammon in cola! :T

Bins are emptied, clean clothes put away upstairs, but lots still on hangers in the DR, waiting for my QHC in there. Going to have a quick break with a snack and some water.

ETA Thanks for the tip, shellysue. That sounds scary. Interestingly, I couldn't get a cauli on the market yesterday, as they'd sold out by lunch time. The guy said that there was a issue with the supply.

fedupandskint

Go you Mrs C trying gammon in cola! About time too - it is gorgeous and I've never met anyone who doesn't love it!

I'm about to start a marathon rewriting session for my assignment - 300 words to go, one more answer to write and lots to do to make it read like I know what I'm talking about!

pigpen

2 binbags of towels put away.. they were from my mother and the binbags were really thick ones so i want them to sort the girls clothes into for selling .. recycled binbags! lol

Squeak still squawking.. goodness knows what is wrong with her today!!!
