Pippilongstocking

So the lands of mcflowers cottage look a bit like a war zone as I rehome/recycle/rewash.

Hang up another load washing
Do beds
Pack some of dd's 'packed clothes what are flung in a box) into the telly box - tv is now packed
Put some of the packed boxes into the garage
Put unicycle (!) into hen house or wrap and put in freezer for moving - lets face it not the only daft thing that's been in there
Speak to garage man over weekend as I'm sure he's not a vampire and won't bite
Find out what lamp needed for 'pretend woodburner' get one and put on selling page there was a spare lamp in the box woo hoo

I bet I know where some of those eggs came from!

Brilliant idea to be packing things into places like fridges and freezers which are going to be moved empty, and yes, a unicycle is FAR from the strangest thing to have been in your freezer! :rotfl: Food stuff is looking good - are you making a list of anything that you *will* need before going to watch out for YS'd?

Scary list though...I need a lie down after just READING that! :rotfl:

Pippilongstocking

Hey up EH

The eggs are indeed from watery lands and a nice jar of lemon curd too

Grub - any reduced meat/chook could augment what we've got but we'll not need much. DD is here for another 9 days (insert scared face) and I'm home alone after that.

So eyes will be peeled but so far its looking like lots of 'eggy meals'



Its only the half day list I'm starting another in a mo.



After which I might actually lie down myself



PS

surely a UNICYCLE in the freezer trumps a PUFFIN in the freezer?

:rotfl:

EssexHebridean

Nutter! :kisses3: Take it easy and don't break yourself for goodness sake!

Of course some of what you've got in (cheese, for example!) could pack into corners in the car and just go with you. Tinned stuff too, at a pinch. Just don't leave a tin-opener within reach of the hounds on the journey!

ps. No, No it doesn't. Nor a blackbird, nor any of the other assorted wildlife you've had in there!

Pippilongstocking

Aye I think no grub will come with us asdie the storage jars.

*whistles only two more kilners added to the collections today at 50p each I couldn't say no.



Reduced chookie in the lands of Mr T plus some essentials (dd sandwich stuff and cereal) and some nice reduced yog

Not needed anything else.



Chook is a roasting and that will be eeked out over the next 21 days MAX I'm here.

Scary biscuits.

PS sanded 9 of my 18 drawers with new sander - man its lovely.

Pippilongstocking

Well the list is abaiting.

DD is in toon at a chums and I'll head out there later.

Need to tease out spends from supermarket as DD bought some bits too.

2 things put on local selling page - an electric wood burner and a wee voice recorder thingmy (like a dictaphone)

Also have a wee battery strimmer to list

Small steps eh

Machine on again - work aprons a whirrying around.

Nice work lady - I trust the fire is now lit and you are now sitting in front of it? (With your trusty hounds wrapped around your toes?)
