Cuppa drunk, off to drop dd at bus then listypops time....

Kettle back on in a bit.

Ok list

Here we go

Done - banks - £200 in rbs account after dd's due to lack of pads to cc, waitng to see what the !!!!!! agency will do next before I leave myself utterly penniless!
Got paid £67.67 for teaching evening classes (4) - rates gone down from £17 to £10 but you get an extra half hour to prep - iyswim. Yay some pay!
CC, both OK, Captain has £156 left in it - I put OH money in there - when I got it - and I've not spent much on petrol this month so far (£60)
Lucifer - again OK ish (£100 left in there) - LLoyds bank - £37 left - but nothing to go out.

OK we're not great but we're not sunk either.

Another book sold on amazon (Nigella bites)
Two plants sold on ebay - both house plants although one is a herb (veitnamese coriander - a perennial thing which is yummy) I don't find it like actual coriander but its used alot in thai cooking - I always put in an extra plant where I can - so the piggyback plant is a bogof (thank you Uni, completely your idea) AND the viet coriander I've popped an extra one in - always gets good feedback.

Therefore I have post to do! Keiss thank you so much for that lovely little notelet book for passing my thesis - I now use them each time I write a label, they make such pretty labels for folks parcels - I thought you'd like that.

Thank you wik for the parent plant!

Sounds like your mojo may have come back pippi!

Well done on those HUGE lists! And poor you if Mr F is off to Norway (I'd be sneaking in his suitcase if I were you! :rotfl:)

Has starnac had the baby then? :T :T

OK the list to stop all of my other lists I've alot to do and new job starts tomorow!

Parcels to make up and post
Tidy up house and I mean the whole house. (eek this requires a long long long list all of its own, which I might do in a mo)
Beef out of freezer for tea
HM lunch
Try and get a bit of work done - both on computer and out there in the wild lands of this island.
Find the loo roll stash, I know we have one - I know we do!
Figure if I can't find it do I buy enough loo rolls from co-op (recycled £5 or 6 for 18 rolls, I think) to spend my £30 for £3 off
Washing away

Cheery we've not heard yet - but hello and waves back.

Cheery_Daff

Hope you find the loo roll stash - is it in the cupboard by the living room?? :rotfl: :rotfl:

Exciting indeed

And, no not in there, looked there first, but the coat cupboard currently has hazzard signs and is inaccessible - I lobbed everything in there as a OMG where do I put it all for the last visitors so I'll excavate that too in a mo.

We simply can't have run out of loo rolls - but given the amount of innards I've posted lately - maybe I have:eek:

Cheery_Daff

Quite shocking! (although we run out of loo rolls every few days - but then we don't have your advanced planning skills! :rotfl:

Pippilongstocking

still no loo roll

But I've updated a few ebay listings for plants

And packed up a parcel.

Good luck with the loo roll hunt!

Vietnamese coriander sounds interesting. Have you ever grown shiso/ perilla? We've got some on the kitchen windowsill (one red and one green).. tastes amazing. Love coriander but it always seems to get covered in beasties (aphid-type things).

The one I grow - and its so prolific I've loads here, more than I can ever sell, so if you want to try one, then please I can repay for the mag you sent me! Let me know and I'll post you one if you want pm me your address.

You either love it or hate it I think.......

The other coriander (proper kind) gets terrible aphids doesn't it.

Coriander is derived from the name for bugs or a daft thing like that 'The cultivated buggy smelling plant' :rotfl: - I've read the root has more flavour than the leaves......but never tried it.
