please stop talking about chocolate cake, I am trying to loose weight:(

*sigh* same here; Mr LW has got chocolate buns for his lunchbox this week, but I can't have any as I need to shift at least another 5 lb.:(

Kitchen floor has been done within an inch of it's life this week - suffice it to say, Candy has a "wee" problem with her kidneys (she's even got bald patches from a recent kidney scan, poor love) so we're having to put newspaper down at night.

It's not her fault; just old age, and we're more than happy to help her, and we don't get cross with her.

It's her last night here tonight; but I have a Cocker Spaniel coming on Friday, for 3 nights (found that out yesterday evening).;)

Another late start for me, I'm wondering whether it the tablets the dr gave me last week.

Oh is still off sick as his PTS has gotten worst and he is driving me insane, so I have sent him to the local tip with the recycling. In his absense I have giving the LR a once over and have managed to get most of todays list done.

Busy morning invigilating only got more busy when the fire alarm went off.

Ironing will be very upto date this week with Chelsea on the tv

Mrs Chaos - big hugs. I don't like to comment on other couples financial agreements as they are all so different. We keep it simple, DH earns most of it and we are both free to spend any of it on anything:D

Don't think I'm going to get much done on the list today as I seem to be finding other things to do!
Have sewn up my DS3 trousers (again). Was hoping to put it off but he was had a major tantrum the last couple of days over wearing shorts so don't fancy another day of it. Have also cut his PJ bottoms and made them into shorts since he somehow managed to get a massive rip across them.

Have made a list for this week of things to do before we go away. It will have to take priority this week but hopefully can clean along the way.

Hello, I've been out this morning so I need to get on with some flying. The fan belt went on the dyson AGAIN. I'm so angry with it, I'm still struggling after my hand surgery and mustn't use too much force. DH is away so the floors look like they have bird seed all over them. It's really getting me down.

4 x WM today. I woke up at 5.30 and decided to get up - why???? I'll pay for it later.

I must be tired already as I'm craving chocolate - see you later I'm off on a chocolate hunt.....

Goodintentions

Panic over :j I found a Nigella recipe on the net that looks quite nice. i wanted one that used cocoa not chocolate (all i had) & used yogurt, no coffee, no nuts etc. Hers had sour cream, which I substituted with yoghurt. It is baked now, and cooling.

i have decluttered lunch, wrapped the presents (inc the one for a boy i look after for tomorrow), written the card & bought in the dry cushion covers and put them back on.

i am off now to buy some cake frosting (ran out of time ) on the way to the school.

i will update lists later.

Bye for now
