    @Thistle, Birmingham rush hour sounds like something to avoid :eek:

    OK, I need to get cracking. Freezer here I come.

    It is definitely something to avoid! I hate it-even though it's normally Mr tc driving.

    I had another email from them today asking if I would like to participate again, just need to wait a week and then I'll get an email saying they have enough people in my postal area :rotfl:

    I only had to do two boxes on my last stint, but did have an argument in the PO as they were trying to charge me £2 more to post the box

    Morning, 3p TT to MOS.

    Jobs for today:
    Washing and ironing - complete
    Dog walking and a bike ride with DS - both complete
    Salmon in 5 spice and soy, with stir fried veg and noodles for dinner - DD favourite meal and she's home tonight :T
    Finish menu plan for March, along with shopping list and print
    Empty airing cupboard - complete
    Hoe all raised beds

    If all of this is complete today that would be fab.

    Mags and books returned to library although I kept two out. SW and Moro as I have more recipes to make a note of.

    Kitchen painting will be completed by tomorrow night - starting to look lovely :). I'm having a real sort out to see what needs to go backing.

    Study needs a good tidy up so may tackle that one night next week.

    Morning Alchemilla, Mr T just read it and reminded me to have a rest :rotfl:

    You know what it's like when spring is in the air :)

    I can see enough blue sky to make a sailor a pair of trousers.

    I was going to do some 'personal grooming' but it's so nice here I may attend to the garden rather than the ladies one :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
