Vanilla - what about homemade flapjacks (if you have time), a tupperware with muesli/yoghurt/fruit etc. Hummus and veg sticks?

I shall be bowing out for the next few months as i'm back at uni and will be banning myself from wasting time on the computer! Will be back with bells on at Christmas time.

Sorry Mrs _B, I was hanging out the washing so missed your HHC. I'll finish my cold drink then I'll be right on it . . .

Good luck with the Uni thing GnB - needs must - by keeping off here for the last couple of days I have got so much done

and Welcome back Penpen

been to town and banked some savings - all had to be done on paper as their systems were down! Been to bank and asked nice lady where the cheque I posted through their letter box had gone because it hadn't been credited to my A/c - she took me to check the box and it was jammed so she banked it there and then (e bay sale) Spent my £5 No. 7 vouchers on stocking fillers for the Valliteens - two £7 items cost me £2 each. Ironed last night and have ironed first lot off the line today - it's HOT and WINDY and drying really really quickly. Bought a '1' and and '8' sparkler candle for DS (Must buy a lighter!) two caulies off the market for a £1 so cauliflower cheese for tea! NYOM!

had another negative on an e bay for a disc I KNOW was working (not least because I kept playing it) - so not happy.

Benn to the tabletop sale in the community centre. Saw a book at £3 which would have been good for a topic we're doing but baulked at that so popped in again on my way home. price sticker had already been removed, picked it up and was told I could have it for 50p before I even started haggling;)

Mrs_B

Thanks Wendywitch.

Well, first progress made - bed changed (one of my few OCDs - should be a Fridaily, but too busy last night), washing flying on the line, next three loads of laundry lined up ready to catch the Economy 7, upstairs returned to basic level of tidiness, dishwasher finally emptied and started to reload - salt topped up, upstairs recipe books returned to shelves, odds and sods picked up and transported up and downstairs as I passed by - oh, and a flying visit over the PC cable just for variety!

Off for a quick rearrange of the freezer - need to start picking over some damsons for the freezer. Might be up for another HHC before I go out if there's company.

I've done

• lots of washing and pegged it out
• DW x 2
• major declutter in kitchen
• washed loo floor twice
• HHweeding - it's never ending :eek:
• found a nice freecycler who actually turned up and was polite :j
• posted a freecycle message about manners and courtesy *insert halo smiley*
• sorted out loads of old jiffy bags and bubble wrap for another freecycler who I am know IS polite and I'm sure will turn up tomorrow...
• other things I can't remember (is this usual in your mid 40s?)

Now I need to have quick bath and do my nails before a late afternoon showing of 'Jane Eyre' Oooooh Mr Rochester

Also will put clothes on :rotfl:

vanilla: how about bread sticks, cubes of cheese (not unhealthy in small doses), ham, carrot, cucumber, cherry tomatoes

seafarers_wife

The boys school do a healthy break at school, it used to be toast, yogurts and fruit. They have now sent a letter home explaining that there is no one to make the toast and hand out the yogurts so there giving out fruit bags (same as mcdonalds) the cost is the same £2 per child each week.
.

That is so sad/lazy of the school tbh. Understand on the toast front but our y6 sell mini cheeses, fruit and squeezy yogurts every day - one lady does an asda run on the way into work most days to get it and school subsidises it so fruit is 10p, cheese and yogs are 20p. Could sensible older ones not do it at your boys school?

Please can I come back and join you all as there is currently not one room in my house I would actually like to sit in today. Our place seems to lurch into dreadful very quickly despite having had 6 weeks of being lovingly decluttered and cleaned. Feel very :(:mad:with self but also very tired so don't even feel like doing much - need a good slap round the face with a wet fish but can't find a smiley that does that :rotfl: Not helped by dh doing mega shifts today and tomorrow and icklies not being very co-operative today, with me or each other!

Am going to start a HHC to loud music in the kitchen.

vanilla

gunsandbanjos thats actual a good idea, then i could freeze some i suppose.

bonnie_bumpkins another good idea as they love there bread.

Dorastar very sad for the kids, i think it's just there under staffed. Hopefully it will change in a few months.

Boys room now finished and Rhys away for a snooze. Now time to get the gardens cut and furniture moved.
