    Plan for tonight:
    bring rest of washing in and fold/put in ironing pile if dry
    research home insurance
    make up beds
    start DW

    Plan for tomorrow (early start with OH and DS2):
    market for fruit
    library
    collect parcels from post office
    take DS2 for dental appointment
    Mr M's for fuel and a few bits of shopping
    Then OH wants to spend time in town - he's starting to get bored.
    buy eggs on way home

    Then:
    phone job centre to ask about OH's sickness benefit claim
    decide whether I can face wrestling our old bin for the sake of saving £15 and phone council

    jjef yes they freeze well - I open freeze them for using. Not sure how you would do the weight (valli would know) as you would not want to weight each few you froze. The oat and blackberry bar/cake was delicious.

    Ironing done
    DW on
    a little washing up still to do just having a break.
