    One day back and I'm bushed

    Same here! Although I went back last week, I'm just too shattered this early in the year.

    Very little achieved today, other than spending ages making corned beef hash with dumplings from scratch and a veggie dish for me, as I didn't fancy it.

    Before bed I must sort out some clean laundry, put WM on and tidy kitchen. Instead I'm wondering what I could snack on. :(

    DH's supportive spell didn't last long. He made a chocolate cake on Saturday and wanted to put finishing touches to it yesterday. I thought he wouldn't have time and just topped it with some ganache, which is not what he'd planned, apparently. He now doesn't even want to try it and has said it's put him off cooking and baking for good. Oh well, at least I know what I'm getting if I do it. :cool: Important meeting at work tomorrow about the new school. I may be very down tomorrow night, depending what is said.

    Hope everyone else is ok. x

  • Good evening :D

    Not much flying today, as I was working all day. I can't clean the bathroom after dark because the light in there is rubbish!! :p (see item 44 on Toots list!!) I don't have a snug/study/conservatory or family room (just lounge/diner) so i will catch up tomorrow :o

    We have a fish swimming sideways - that is never good :(

    done 1 load in WM (still in there :o), emptied DW, cooked dinner and done a little paperwork.

    I will do better tomorrow :)

    Bonnie - sorry the job didn't work out
    Wendy - I have thrown a big juicy bone for BD (((hugs)))
    Pigpen & Toots - good to see you posting. We have missed you!!
    MrsChaos - (((hugs))) maybe OH could 'wear' the cake??!! :rotfl:Good luck for your meeting tomorrow.
    Emmb - I hope the move went well

    Ok. I am off to bed now. Night night all
