    :DSounds like DH. He would eat them 3 times a day. I started sneaking in lettuce and salad cream. Then reduced cheese and brought in cucumber/tomato. Then :eek:ham, or :eek:chicken. OK I have to make them or he reverts, but it might be a start. I find mayo/salad cream/chutney adds a lot of flavour with very little.

    DS does eat them at least 3 times a day lol.. he picks out the pollutants too.. and wont eat anything else.. though he has eaten seeded brown bread and had bacon and brie the last few days.. back to tesco for us lol... he is very underweight so we need to keep feeding him.

    Both babies fed and changed

    looks glum out so Ill get OH to mince the grass before it is sopping wet again I think.. best move the dead pterodactyl first... blooming cats!!!

    :D I will declutter my house and debts :D
  • I have been for lovely walk in the sunshine :) I was going to attach a photo, but I don't know how :o

    1 load of washing on the line, another load in WM. :oI have done better than yesterday already :D

    I need to make some sort of meal plan, and a shopping list, then hit the shops. It will be manic, I know :( Apparently there were 15 mile queues to get into town yesterday, and it is just as hot today. Wish me luck!!

    There is also road closures, and a no-fly zone in place not far from here (far enough, luckily - a few miles) because there is a container on fire in an industrial site near the airport. The container is full of fireworks!!!! :eek:

    I will catch up with you all later :)

    Good morning everyone.

    There has been heavy rain here which has cooled things down a bit. Plus its needed for the gardens.

    Thats the bathroom done and a tidy around. A bit of washing done so will get that hung up.

    Just going to catch up with stuff I have recorded during the week and have a quiet day.

    Hugs and spoons where needed.
