    Lovely day with minimal flying.

    Tea and chat with a friend and I found some bargains in the shops!

    2 loads of washing done. Dinner cooked. Kitchen s/s and floor swept.

    DH has wfh and s*y tv has appeared in DD1's bedroom. He had to take a sickie off work as he expected me to sit at home and wait for the engineer.

    I've forgotten about Pilates. Doh! Cross with myself as I really enjoy it.

    Glad you're OK lamewolf and hope you feel better for your visitor this evening xx

    Helen is it possible that a fellow lottie person has borrowed it?

    Piggers and ionafan - this rounding up thing... sorry to be thick... but... do you work out what you would like to increase your mortgage/loan payment by and tell the lender the new round figure you want to pay?

    Cheers Bonnie - that's interesting to read about a real-life case as opposed to a lot of the stuff I've been reading tonight. We do love our meat in any shape or form, but we try to balance those days with lots of veggie meals. I think our biggest downfall is butter and mayo in all honesty as I don't do "diet" type foods. OH and DD are massive cheese eaters, but I can take it or leave it. Last night we had a veggie tagine made with parsnips, carrots, onions, garlic, toms, spinach, chick peas, courgettes, red & yellow pepper and halloumi cheese served with lemon and coriander couscous with almonds, cranberries, red onions, so although some cheese, it was quite a healthy dish. We have areas for improvement and I'm looking forward to making more pulse dishes (e.g. dahl) in the coming weeks.

    On a flying front, still nothing done - sorry Natty - I will improve over the weekend, I promise :o

    After earlier sucess I decided to clear out wardrobe of clothes that no longer fits. So now got 4 space bags ready to go up into the loft and I can see what is in the wardrobe again. Maybe next week I will get some ironing done to fill it back up, lol.

    Morning ladies.

    Today I have more washing to do. I must attempt a couple of hours ironing and clear the last of the gibble from my bedroom. I also have a meeting at the bank with our 'relationship manager' at 11.30.

    All the food colouring I ordered has arrived now so I will have a practice attempt at my nephew's birthday cake sometime this weekend.

    I need to get tonight's dinner in the SC. I will get the kids homework done tonight so there is not the usual Sunday evening shenanigans.

    I hope everyone has a good day.

    Morning all

    Bright , cold and sunny here but I've just heard the weekend forecast and it won't be lasting through the weekend.

    Sore throat and earache so not planning on doing too much today but may do frog chewing and sort some bits out on my pc.
