    well I've made something new. Fortunately I did the prep last night because I overslept! :eek: had also packed the ebay parcels so while I've been running round like a mad thing I was able to post them.
    So the new thing is pork with peppers and paprika and it's in the SC simmering nicely! Just tested and adjusted seasoning. Will have to serve it with rice as I've no spuds...

    Right I am now showered and have clean clothes on. I had put the towels out for an hour (might have 'lightened' them a bit...now they're in the TD. Going to break with tradition and run some washes this evening. Have stripped my bed and DD's bed and am about to make them and strip DS's...
    going to 'do' stuff this evening I think as I seem to have some energy from somewhere.

    Toots you are an:A

    ooh got a bargain today - was in a chemist picking up DD's script and spotted packs of 12 duracell AA batts WITH 12 FREE for £6.99!

    Penpen - loved the animation! This is funny

    Challenges

    Thursday Shaker Day
    What do you think about whilst doing your flying? All the other things you need to do? Today I want you to act like a Shaker for just 15 minutes. Whilst doing some of your flying I want you to settle your mind solely to the task in hand. Take pride in what you do and satisfaction from seeing the limescale come of the taps and the shine appear.

    Friday Variety is the spice of Life
    Bored of cooking the same meals all the time? Dig out a cookery book or search on line and plan to cook something new this weekend. It can be a dinner, cake or even breakfast – give your taste buds a treat. very fussy eater here even more so with the pregnancy so can i please be excused if I promise to cook something with the half a mountain of potatoes i have and put some veg in it? thinking a broccolie cheese as i dont like caulieflower?


    Thursday Car Prep - Done

    Friday Bedtime
    Time to change the duvet for a higher tog; test the electric blanket; check the hot water bottles for leaks and get the flannelette sheets out. If possible wash light weight duvets before storing for winter – stored in pillow cases they can be left on the bed as extra cushions if you lack space or placed flat underneath the mattress for added warmth. - we only have the one duvet on our bed all year round as its a down duvet and keeps us cool in the summer but just right in the winter, DH has requested the flanned bedding through when the bed gets changed so am being nice and allowing him a choice between the opened cream pack or the nice new shiney never used purple or red flannel bedding.
