Okay all the clothes are laundered, just the towels and bed linens to do tomorrow, most of the floors have been swept, some dusting has happened :eek:, the loo and sinks are done, and tonight I will do the stove top

This afternoon Dr Dragon is going to help me photograph and list my stitching stash, as I need to work out WHAT I want to get stitched and what I can part with to a good home :rotfl:

Lost the post with the recipe, so am trying again. This make lots. Get out lots of dishes as you van cling film and freeze the leftovers:

Pkt sponge fingers or leftover cake
Espresso or concentrated instant coffee
Rum or other booze
500g mascarpone
5 eggs, separated
5 tbsp sugar
Cocoa powder

Whisk egg whites till stiff. In a separate bowl beat egg yolks, sugar and mascarpone (I do all this in the magimix, especially when doing larger quantities). Stir egg white carefully into mascarpone mixture.

Spread a thin layer of mascarpone over the bottom of the dish. Cover with a layer of booze and coffee soaked biscuits. Cover with mascarpone mixture. Sprinkle a thick layer of cocoa powder over the top (I do this through a tea strainer). Leave overnight in the fridge to set. Freeze what you don't eat.

I make this for my friend to serve to her italian inlaws and they think she's a genius. I picked up the recipe when I was working in a restaurant in Florence.

Ooh, thanks, you're a star!:A I've snagged it and filed it on my Recipe memory stick - listed as "Greenbee's Tiramisu"

Looks easy to do, and I think it's something Mr LW will love! All I need now is a little space in the freezer; we're working on that, though.;)

Right, time-out over, back to the dusting. I'm having to dust round the biggest dragons, as I can't lift them one-handed.:(

I haven't got a DW, sorry for those who are missing theirs but I really don't mind washing up at all and I've never longed for a dishwasher!

I know I'm weird.

I keep trying to figure out what I can live without in my kitchen just so I can find space for one!!

Greenbee thanks for the recipe :beer:

Well I've had the kids at home all week, so haven't managed to even start my flylady -but now DH has moved back to his mummy's (so really should be EX dh) there's lots of scope to get tidied up. I'm determined to start next week once the kids are back! My main issue is storage i.e. I have none. But today I have run a cleaning cycle on the washing machine - does that count lol

Goodintentions

We went to the park for a while then I did lunch for the LO's when we got back. DS & NDN (both 13 yr old boys) have been playing with the Happy Land toys for most of the afternoon It is so nice to see children that are not in a hurry to grow up, and that still enjoy playing, instead of trying to impress their peers :T
DS & DD2 have been picked up by my mum, and are staying at hers for a couple of nights (that's my meal plan blown away again! ).
i just have 1 child left in the house now (until 5.30 :j)
WM on, DW has finished (needs to cool down before I empty it).

i have been working on paperwork this afternoon, trying to set up an invoice system. I am not sure the parents want invoices, but if i have them on my system, they are there if they need them, and i have a 'paper trail' for my tax records aswell (even if I don't print the actual paper!)
Just having a cuppa at the moment

pigpen

you run a cleaning cycle on the WM AND Decluttered a husband.. that is some flying!!

Storage is a big issue here too.. I have resorted to getting rid just so I dont have to think about storage lol..

I havent done a thing today.. just waiting for KH to collect the beasts.. OH can do food for himself and Squeak and I will go sort another bag of crap or 5 from my room!
