    Thanks guys - I'm convinced, a washer/dryer it is.

    Mr F left for Paris yesterday lunchtime so I gave myself the afternoon off :eek:
    • Zumba in the morning
    • bought a paper brick maker from Across-the-Lane-Neighbour. She's having a big clear out. £3
    • no cooking required as there were lots of leftovers to use up:)
    • my cherry tomatoes and strawberries are starting to ripen
    • had a commission confirmed
    Eventful happenings - I got bitten by a fly :eek: and heard that I'm going to be a great aunt :j


    It's another beautiful day in the Garden of England :)

    Another little commission came in last night through my Folksy shop - a Bumblebee :T I've painted him up and sent a picture to the customer to see if she likes him. Also:
    • popped in to see my Aged Neighbours who gave me more tomatoes from their garden :) I have said I'll pot them up some chive plants in return
    • popped in to see Across-the-Lane-Neighbour for a coffee and a quick catch up. Came away with a pile of PTFA papers to read
    • leftovers for lunch
    Mr F is on his way home, if a little delayed. It's Sausage and Sweet Potato Mash with veg for supper tonight from the meal plan.


    It's the weekend tomorrow! :j

    Sweet potato mash is a firm meal-plan favourite in this house :) especially if grated cheese is added...

    I have a portion left in the freezer that has been slotted into this week's plan. Yum!

    Another vote for washer-dryers here - I've never had separate appliances. I refuse to give up that much space (and I have a good sized kitchen so *could*) when a multi-function appliance exists. Even though there are 6 of us here and approx. 2 loads of washing a day I still manage fine! I'm not a habitual tumbling person, though. and my clothes don't smell funny when I do use it! ;):)

    Oooh! I haven't tried it with cheese in - that's definitely going on the menu plan.

    Thanks for the advice greent. I am definitely going to buy one. Although, seeing the cost of the paint I want for decorating next week I might have to wait a bit :o
