    Hi all and good morning, hope the weather is good where you are..have to say not sure about this losing an hour lark..it still feels like 9am to me!!

    Semi credo sounds lush redsam..might try and do some of that for a puddingthis week.

    Yesterday we did everything except get the beer kit..so a LSD. His beer will have to wait!:rotfl:

    Today we will:

    - plant some tomatoes and more peas and salad
    - have a lovely late brunch from stores and eggs from our lovely chooks
    - spaghetti and meatballs for dinner..will even use up crusts from HM bread for it. All from stores.
    - more washing ( does it ever end??!) whilst panels are in full flight
    - tidy house ready for last week of term and my going back to work
    - PAD against V and BC cards DONE
    - keep plugging away at the surveys. Normally get screened out but justmanaged a Toluna one this morning so every little helps
    - start my new spreaddie for budgets based on new SOA and update app on iPhone
    - finish tax return..think I am on final stretch
    - check and hopefully sell our item on EBay..has 4 watchers so heres hoping

    Think that's it. Could be a NSD..will watch and wait with bated breath!

    Have a good day everyone
