    Hi all

    Been mostly working but squeezed in a few bits:
    Wmx1 on airer in conservatory, nearly dry as it got pretty hot in there this morning
    Washed up breakfast things
    Done a mini fling of carp I've collected when going past it
    Hoovered all round living room, all clean in there, just a pair of DS shoes to go upstairs as still too big (but he likes them as they flash like his sisters)
    Made a small start in garage of doom. Sorted a flung a few bits from counter top. Put a bag of breastfeeding goodies on freegle (manual pump etc). Said its a job lt please only reply if can collect this week.

    I've had one say they only want one of the items and a another all but can't come till 16th! I wish people would read the blinking ad! Then when you say no, you get huffy replies. Honestly! It's not like I'm asking money for them, they are freebies. You want them, you do it at my convenience!

    Rant over, lol.

    Just gonna put tots to bed, have a bit of supper then will either go back in garage of doom or hhi... My plan is to have the garage counter clear, so I can use it as a laundry room. Gets pretty warm in there, so ideal for drying in wet weather, and space to leave the iron out all the time so I can keep on top of things...

    Ok. Well really feel like I have got lots done today. Whether I will think that in an hours time when I look around the house.

    Car being fix today, so many things wrong with it-just need to know how much it will cost now! will not find that out until late tonight.

    This weather is getting on my nerves as it has been so difficult to get the washing done and really want to have no washing or ironing to do when I go back to work next week. Not doing to well with the ironing but nearly all the washing is done.....for now

    Everything done today, felt funny when I was doing the ironing so had something to eat and thought I'd tackle the stairs after but was struck down with a migraine with aura. My vision still feels a bit hazy :( Anyone else suffer with these? I have them about once every month or so, normally around AF but that's not the cause this time. I hate them!!
    Most of mine with Aura also happen around this time my boss is convinced its caused by too much time on a pc, short of grossing him out i haven't told him otherwise.

    Evening!

    Well, kitchen dailies done, started to do packup for tomorrow, but looks like weather is going to be bad, so might even get cancelled.

    Been back in garage, is no longer of doom. Still got an excess bed in there and two shelves to declutter, but all is neatly stacked. Will see lady from church on fri so she will take the bric a brac I've sorted for their next table top sale, and just waiting on a charity bag through the door and 4 bin liners of stuff can exit...

    And that's me done, shattered. Can hear DS wriggling, hope he nods off again...

    No real progress on house, but all phone calls made and emails sent to help sort son out.
    Also errands run and some paid work done.
    Tomorrow paid work at client office, so will see what gets done when I return to this cluttered mess............

    I've just turned my fruity bargain from Monday (9p per tub of strawberries/raspberries/blueberries) into jam. Mixed blue- and raspberries and did the strawberries on their own. I didn't have any pectin or preserving sugar, so I've added lemon juice and put some apple peel in with the straws (took it out when it was ready). Hope it sets - will give one of each to a good friend whose birthday it is tomorrow. :j

    I've also got apricots, nectarines and peaches, but they'll wait until tomorrow. I just love making jam.:D

    Also tidied the kitchen after tea, washed a few more tins and replaced them at the top of the dresser. I think I've run out of steam for today. :o
