    I did a rhubarb and whitecurrant one this evening, voted yummy by OH and his mum. Non-wheat flour worked fine, although whether it was that or the aga, it only took 45 mins to cook. Thanks for sharing the recipe.

    Glad the recipe worked for you! :)

    Narco - didn't know you were an AGA buddy :D

    Off to bed now, came on here 2 1/2 hours ago to send an email, which I haven't done but spent lots of time doing other things:o

    See you tomorrow after my invigilation - good luck to all those flykids with exams tomorrow

    I won't be doing much flying this week, as I am away for most of it. I will do a few bits tomorrow before I go and then catch up at the end of the week.

    My list for tomorrow
    *[STRIKE]Nectar adpoints[/STRIKE], Swagbucks, [STRIKE]Swapits[/STRIKE],[STRIKE] TCB[/STRIKE], Postcode lottery[STRIKE] and Birthday bingo[/STRIKE]
    *Get a quick shower and get the kids dressed
    *Pack my holiday bag
    *Pack the last of the holiday stuff and pack the car
    *Finish sorting a to do list for the final week of this month (whilst things are still fresh in my memory)
    *Clean out the hamster
    *Clean out the chickens
    *Write a note for the person that is going to be looking after our animals and phone them to ensure that they are still ok for this week
    *Print the holiday paperwork
    *Check the bank and move money around
    *Iron the clothes that are needed for this week
    *Sort through the basket of dried washing
    *Submit information to shop and scan
    *Quick tidy up in the kitchen and living room
    *Strip all of the beds and leave them to air

    I think that is everything that I need to get done before I can sit back and enjoy a few days off before I return to mayhem. Hope everyone has a good week.

    Thank you, thank you, thank you for letting me back in. I can already see little differences from what I achieved yesterday. Count me in, although actually it's a joint effort as DH is home all day most days due to accident.

    Anyways, the plan is:

    Monday - kitchen
    Only got 15 minutes

    sweep and mop the floor
    Put away 5 things
    30 minutes to spare
    Wipe over your hob
    Clean your sink
    Wipe your work tops
    Got an hour
    Wipe the window ledge
    Clean the windows
    Do the 15 and 30 minute jobs too
    Extras
    HHI
    S&S the bathrooms
    Declutter your most cluttered drawer


    I am putting together my own list which I'm going to print off for DH for when I'm in work. He asks me to leave him a note every day. He's so bored and fed up, as well as being in pain. He's got an appointment with yet another specialist tomorrow so we're hoping he can start some treatment/therapy/whatever for his back.

    It's a bit overcast but might brighten up later. First appointment at 10:30 so I'm off to load the washing machine. Have a good day everyone.
