    Feel a bit like a heroine now.

    Had telephone call from hubby in a bit of a flap. He got to work and realised he had no mobile phone with him, he was wearing the shoes he normally wears when dog walking, and he had forgotten all his papers for this evenings meeting. So I said I will drive them up to you, and suggested that he take me out for lunch somewhere. Yay! I don't need to get the kitchen mucky for lunch!! :D Plus, he thinks I am a bit of a star! :D It does mean I need to get motoring with the housework though.

    Off to have a shower and get dressed and then hit the chores.

    Anyone have a spare lung I could borrow?! :(

    Crickett there's definitely something going round! Got a call from DH at 10 to 8 this morning - he was going to get the next train back as he got to the ticket barrier and realised he had left his wallet, season ticket AND phone behind. He often manages to leave one of those behind but all three is quite an achievement
    It doesn't matter if you are a glass half full or half empty sort of person. Keep it topped up! Cheers!

    Wish I had a storage cupboard so I could buy from AP, I have to say I normally get my curry pastes pretty cheap from the Asian supermarkets in Newcastle.

    Making chicken wraps for our tea tonight, remembered to take the chicken out the freezer last night so it'll be ready. Might take meatballs out fo there tonight to make something tomorrow :)

    Well, I decided to split the housework jobs over the three days of the week. So I have so far done:

    Hanging out the wet washing, putting another load of washing on, cleaning the kitchen, hoovering the downstairs, the stairs and the upstairs. I have also answered the door to my Father in Law, told the dog off at least 4 times for being naughty (but she is cute, and fluffy, so she can get away with it usually!) and I have even had a rest in between worky bouts. I now have ironing, going to Chessie to meet up with hubby, and taking the dog out for midday and just before dinner trots.

    I think I can do that... but I also think that I will be in bed early tonight!! Or asleep on the sofa... or both!

    Remember to hide a few - cos if your house is like mine thy will disappear pronto.

    I bought popping corn the last time I did an order - does that count as treats?

    I am FREEEEEEE :j

    Had a nice send off with yummy choccies and Amazon voucher. AND I will have a Skype interview for a job back home next Thursday. I am trying very hard not to think too far ahead just take step at the time. But I think I am entitled to spend next couple of hours with a good book and choccies. Ah that is kettle boiled...
