Haha! I enjoyed the chat today. Good call about not empowering the men further Dinah

On the October goals front I am seriously lagging. I have almost finished the kitchen de-clutter but it took aeons of time. However I think I could lick the inside of my drawers now they are so clean (ewwww :rotfl:). Also we have contacted the financial adviser. But I think most of the goals are going to roll over to November. There's a few easy wins on there like planting a few rocket seeds. However, things I thought would be easy like cycling aren't because my bike is a bit knackered at the moment, and needs a proper clean, de-grease, tune up and the tyres sorting. Aaaargh!! Maybe I will make my October goals 'end of 2011' goals instead!!
LOL at the beetroot soup Tete. Have you any left? I had some amazing grated beetroot salad at this Georgian restaurant in Hackney - lush.
Still I am very excited because OH is going home to visit his parents this weekend and I have got the whole house to myself *all weekend* woop woop! When you both work from home, that is some precious alone-time right there. I have got my fingers crossed for a M&S Dine In offer. That would be heaven, roll on Friday
Also - OH's friend runs a house clearance type business and he has got me a vintage typewriter. Very exciting, free, mystery parcels for me when OH returns.
So sorry to hear about your dog Cinny
Hope you're feeling okay. And I hope your brother sorts his head out - get him on MSE quick!
