Making chicken feed of my mortgage

  • No dishwasher here Tilly :( I've done the glasses, soup bowls, plates, mugs, cutlery and serving dishes - just the dessert bowls and pots & pans left to do. Then we can start moving the furniture back...

    As it went very dark The Girls put themselves to bed and then, when the bad weather had passed and it brightened up a bit, they got up again!

  • Crikey MWC, you and Mr MWC definitely deserve a lazy Sunday afternoon, feet up reading the paper etc.

    Glad all went well and that the girls were weather and light conscious :)

    Best wishes Tilly x

  • Lawks MWC - there was enough washing up and balancing on tiptoe to prepare dinner for 2! Very well done on your bash for 16! I'm not very tolerant of picky eaters - youthful or adult :o But YAY to correct spelling with spaghetti :T

    Glad that the girls said BOO! to the bad weather and enjoyed the brightness after the storm.

    I agree with Tilly - get those Sunday papers out and feet put up :D

    Have a great day.

    I have so much to catch up on with your diary MWC. I have a feeling however, it will make me very, very hungry so..... I'm away to put another layer of paint removal gunk on a mantle piece, gather together some things to eat, make a pot of coffee THEN have myself a bit of quality catch-up X

    For some reason my armchair is comfier in the kitchen - I'd like to leave it here but that would mean leaving the kitchen table in the living room!

    Mr MWC finished the washing up :T

    Wow! I'm in awe of doing all that without a dishwasher ... and laughing at the thought of the little picky one spelling out haggis with alphabetti :)

    Hope you have a lovely relaxing day, you certainly deserve it!
