    Flagging a bit as I've just been through the herbs and spices and chucked loads away as they were well out of date! I'm sure they wouldn't kill me but at least I can now see the shelf the remaining ones are sat on :rotfl:

    Just making a quick cuppa then I'll get back to it

    Honest


    I keep a list of mine stuck to the inside of the cupboard door.

    Because I have two bottles of nutmeg:cool:

    The list names them and the state (ie ground). It has revolutionised pre-recipe shopping list prep;)

    Bathroom gleaming. Have decided to store all lotions and potions which I kept by the basin in the cupboard.

    Almost everything that has been washed has been ironed now.:T

    Someone 'kindly' offered to do that for me not so long ago. I was fuming!

    My cousin said to me on boxing day 'I just want you to be happy' I said 'I am happy.' She replied 'Oh I know you are but I just want you to be settled and happy with someone.' !!!!!!? So I repeated 'I am happy'.

    I know she means well but a relationship doesn't equal happiness.

    No flying today. I have man flu and I'm exhausted, I'm gutted as I was due to give blood tomorrow :(

    An early night for me and then my end of year spring clean can occur tomorrow.

    New year, New you, what would you like to learn to do this year (much more inspiring than the same old loosing weight and exercising) - for me it is to make sourdough rolls and learn more knitting techniques Would like to give this more thought so it will be done before the end off the week.
    Meal plan for the week WIP

    Trying a new cake recipe which I have converted from cups and subbed some ingredients, it has risen rather more than I intended ie out of the tin and is taking it's time to cook, not at all sure what it will turn out like.

    CBA to do anything else today now so I'll watch WSM with DS3.

    We're watching Wolverine :). DH is having a much needed evening out with his brother and I must tackle my nails. DD is just making me a cup of coffee- second time today that she has asked me unprompeted if I would like a drink.
    I'm going to cut and file my nails and then DS wants to paint them :eek:!
