Quick update: it is a lovely day here in eastern Bonnie Scotland, rain forcast for tonight and tomorrow so made the most of it by working in the garden.
I will do kitchen after tea, I hate having worked hard on it during the day only to have to start cooking: chopping, etc ( I make a mess) so will do it as soon as our meal is over.
Have a meeting tonight and going to my friend afterwards so I don't think the ironing will get done.. OH well..

Oh shucks.. i was just planning on giving you a call!! won't now as I know you're not in.

:-)

Got some exciting news to tell you...
(you're going to declare me insane)

[STRIKE]Make supper[/STRIKE]

Not bad going, if I do say so myself! It's a heck of a lot easier than when I first started out.

Boston, Grandmother's expressions are the best, that one made me laugh too. In my family if ever we learn something new, grandma's expression 'well there's another wrinkle for your a*se' is quoted.

I'm going to finish the ironing with some TV and then work out how to do fridge door palaver. Have a good evening folks.

Evening folks.

Was planning on doing some marking this evening, but seems though i just had a phonecall to say i had a couple of corrections to do, might as well not as i will only have to go back over it again, so no point causing extra stuff for myself.

I've just made the baby cod with sweet potato and orange, and cauliflower cheese. We had pork chop with roasted sweet pot and courgette, and baked beans. Baby purees are just cooling and will then go in the freezer, and i think i may tackle cleaning the inside of the living room window,the kitchen and the back door as the light is still good for it if i do it quickly.

If i am feeling brave, then the ironing board may come out, but i can't be bothered with much else.
