    Its wild here too, boddy.

    Kiddies have eaten. A lot. Think DS might be growing again :o

    Planned our route to York for tomorrow. Done a toy putaway. I like everything away on a Sunday night, it's my little habit. But after York tomorrow we are straight to a party and will be kiddie bedtime when we get home. So I want everything away tonight. School bags are ready and I might need to do some ironing too, dusty. I CBA either...

    I've just frothed up a WW hot choc drink and the small people are watching Peter Pan. Think DD is getting sleepy, indeed they are both quiet despite our snooze earlier.

    I need to empty the DW and refill it.

    Ionafan, I made your flour, butter and sugar-free sponge. I think I took it out too soon (made muffins rather than a single cake) and I need to remember my oven is HOT but they sure filled a sweet hole! I will try again and may even sneak in a tsp or 2 of cornflour to see if it would stabilise the cake at all. Thanks for sharing!

  • Hello all,

    I think I need to become a fly lady!

    I've just moved into a new house with my husband, and it's so much bigger than what I've been used to. We both work full time, so I'm going to have a LOT of housework to get through! Any tips are more than welcome!

  • evening all......... im feeling great tonight. im really looking forward to the future through a positive attitude .... and making plans to help me achieve my goals. i need to pay off my debts first ,,,,, then save big time ! too pay to retake 5 gcse's and then do at least 5 a levels ... then the final step before my dream will be uni .... i need to stay motivated i keep slipping up ...

    Its good to have a goal. I left school with 2 A Level's but wanted to get some more so I went to college in the evening for 3 years and took a further 3 A Level's. It was hard work but I passed :) I would also like to do a degree either psychology or criminology.

    Never give up!

    Its been a lovely day here, but is now really windy.

    Morning everyone.

    Plan for today is to have a quick whizz round each room. Do some washing. Clear out some more of the kitchen cupboards.

    Want to start walking again. I used to walk around the circular path in local woods but DD not keen on me walking down there on my own. Plenty of dog walkers etc. so will walk from here down to park out other side and back up home. Will maybe walk down the woods in summer.

    Welcome weesmiler.
