    Washing is in, dinner cooked, scoffed & washing up done (I miss my DW!), bread pudding cooked :j (had to go & get mixed spice as I had run out), shopping list done for tomorrow. I have also managed to empty an old expanding file of old paperwork, and transfer to a new one (that closes properly!). All the paperwork has been shredded/binned or recycled :D We have also bought some slabs for a new path (stepping stones) across the lawn to the summerhouse.
    I am going to order some jam jars from the internet now, so I can start my jam making :) I know I should recycle old jam jars, but at this rate I won't be starting until 2013!!

    ETA Bread pudding is yummy, even if i do say so myself :D

    HI

    I am in again, thank you for the lsits and organising me!

    1. Sort out phone line at home as it has gone 'funny' no phone at all and the broadband only works 'when it feels like it!' so something is wrong.
    2. daily type stuff already done
    3. cat fed
    4. OH goen to work
    5. I am at work to get on the internet.
    6. Sorting out stuff for my ISO9001 assessement as they are coming on Tuesday, gave notice on Friday at 4pm! I reckon what ever they were doing on Tuesday was cancelled so they moved me forward, they normally come mid September!.

    Have a good day

    Hugs all round x
