    I need to get a move on as I would like to get all this done before DH gets home.

    Can someone tell me what I can do with 3 eating apples that are nearly passed their best please? DH is a bit fussy with his fruit and I am trying hard not to throw any food away so would like to do something with them.

    Will do a HHC at 2 if anyone fancies joining...I have not done one of these in a long while!!!

    Apple 1 = Spiced Apple Muffins

    Apple 2 = Apple Sauce for freezer

    Apple 3 = HM pork and apple burgers.

    or Curried Parsnip and apple soup.

    Never been known to waste an apple in this house - even the dog crunches the cores :money:

    Dashing into town now for the vets at 2.20, but I'll post the methods when I get back.

    I'd love to but I have a Governor meeting at 4pm and have not read all the papers yet and DS3 has cricket straight after that.

    Thanks for the apple suggestions. I wasn't sure I could use them in the same way as cooking apples, I guess I just won't need to add as much sugar. I have never learned much in the way of cooking so normally stick to following recipes. I might make an apple crumble for dinner and bake a cake on Wednesday instead, so long as have everything for the crumble!! I have checked my fridge inventory but it looks like I will be doing the baking cupboard next :D

    Monday - kitchen
    Only got 15 minutes
    sweep and mop the floor Will do this after any baking
    Put away 5 things Done
    30 minutes to spare
    Wipe over your hob Done
    Clean your sink     Done
    Wipe your work tops     Done
    Got an hour
    Wipe the window ledge Done
    Extras
    HHI
    S&S the bathrooms
    Declutter your most cluttered drawer     Decluttered the cupboard with all the carrier bags instead :o

    Todays jobs
    Check inventories Fridge done, cupboards and freezer left to do
    Bake cake
    Make rolls up to put in freezer Done
    Piano practice
    Catch up on work paperwork at home

    Doesn't look like I am doing too badly, will have a quick sit down and then finish my inventories.
