Morning all


Another lovely day, although it was proper cold last night.


I've got washing on the line and I've just cut the grass back and front. It was a bit wet with dew but it had to be done. My mower keeps cutting out but I finally got it finished and all swept up.


All the best Pigpen



Going to sit in the garden now.

OK, update for yesterday:

WM x 1 Done by OH
Put clean clothes away Half done (hey, it's progress)
Dinner Done
Dishes Done X 1, another load needed
Change bed clothes
Put 1 item on Ebay
Clear away some cardboard (no, I don't know where it keeps coming from either!)

And, that's it! lol. I spent ages faffing around with my work laptop as need it to complete a full backup (after a few weeks with it not working) before handing it in tomorrow for updates. Bl00dy thing takes too long, and still didn't work last night, so looks like I may be staying late just to ensure it's completed before handing in tomorrow. VERY annoying!

I'll join you missy

Tooch, I don't have a spending diary but I do have a budget book where I write all my receipts in. It's actually made me more concious of how much I am spending each month.. I think I would get totally confused with a spending diary.. It took me a while to get to grips with the budget book but I am now finishing my 2nd year of doing it - that reminds me must order next years book

Blooming typical I was cleaning my front door and the window sills of the front windows and who should turn up by my window cleaner..lol. So I decided to clean the garage door instead.. Although the poor man must have wondered what I was doing as I had my music on really loud - I had been playing with Spotify the best part of the morning and downloading music to it so I can sync it up with my phone and we can listen to it in the car on Saturday. So nice of Virgin to give us a years worth for free.. We have decided we are definately going to pay for it at the end of the year, it's so worth it. Only trouble is you can't burn the songs to disc, but the fact I can put it on my phone is all that bothers me..lol

Anyway have been to Asda to get the bits I need for the Chicken pie tonight, and I have also decided to make Raspberry Coconut buns as I have some raspberrys that need using up in the fridge I've put one load of washing out and the towels are in the machine going around. Trouble is I am hunting around for washing now as I am up to date - never thought I would see the day..lol Now I have to tackle the ironing later on.

Now decluttering a cup of tea

missymoo81

oooh natty I love chicken pie, so does OH it's his favourite, I love the jamie oliver 30 minute meal recipe, although I make the pastry. You've made me fancy a pie now!!!:p

I know what you mean about the washing too, I have changed the bed twice in a week as I felt the need to wash stuff, I think I'm going insane, OH is going to ask where his wife has gone and who is the imposter when he gets home next week!:rotfl:

I think I'm going to have to clean the cooker in my HHC:eek: as I can't really hoover the kitchen until thats done, One of my most hated jobs, we have one of those range cooker things and its got 6 hobs, 3 of which I don't think I've ever used,:o but as it's black it shows every bit of dust or dirt, far too many gubbins and things to clean on the hob...... I'm not even mentioning the oven that I know my stew spilled onto the bottom of the other day:o
