Morning All

I'm going to try and have a catchup with this week's list today as I've already done most of today's. DS has a friend coming over this afternoon and I assume DD will go over to her friends so I think I'll get as much done this morning as I can and then do paperwork and stuff this afternoon. I may even do some baking, we'll see.

Have a good day all

Hugs

JJTOU, you've given me an idea. Tomorrow I'll put fresh kiwi with my spelt, have to say it was a bit bland today.


Morning everyone, back to the paid stuff today, so I'm not expecting to get a lot of flying done.

Good morning all :wave:

Drizzly and grey here ths morning - glad I managed to get some of the washing out on the line yesterday (and DH :A actually thought to bring it in when the rain started!).

I did get round to cleaning the kitchen floor on Monday and a phonecall from a friend rescued me from the slobber of the BD.

Yesterday I
- stripped bed
- spent all morning at SW: decluttered another half pound, as did DH - ah well, it all adds up!
- did WMx4 and almost dried everything outdoors, finishing off in the TD; folded and put away all non-iron
- cooked 2 meals (well, one was just scrambled egg)
- tried to have deep and wonderful thoughts about the work I'm currently doing
- phoned a friend
- remade bed
- watched a bit of TV with DH when he got in from model railway club
- fell into bed at midnight

This morning I have already done 2x HHI and cleared the backlog in the washing basket :j
I am sending DH out to visit 2 U3A groups (the Committee has made him Groups Coordinator): bobbin lace making this morning :rotfl: and local history this afternoon.
Hopefully, while he is out, my thoughts will organise themselves sufficiently to put together a revised course outline which my colleague can work on tomorrow - we decided on Monday that we have a lot of good material but it is all in the wrong order, and we need the course (including all the notes and resources) finished by the time we meet on Friday week :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

:T:j:T:j Pigpen
Good luck with the breadmaking, nicki
Dancemum, glad you enjoyed your nephews' visit.
Skinty, time has flown since our picnic in the park. Please be kind to yourself while you're still adapting to the new meds *and* trying to hold everything and everyone together - it will be better next week when DD1 and DD2 are home to help. Sounds like DD3 is turning into a domestic goddess :rotfl: PM me if you need a chat: I'll always phone you back. Have got Skype but have never used it

(((Hugs))), spoons and sticks where needed. Hope everyone has a good day x

miserable and wet again here so drying rack is set up and again no outside jobs will be achieved.
DS1 has gone back to docs as he feels worse (think it may be tonsilitis combined with manflu) in fairness to him he does look grim
was supposed to be going hairdressers first thing but she texted me yesterday and asked me to go later instead so going to try and get a few jobs done first.
made asparagus soup last night first time ive tried that it was scrummy, did a few rows on a cardi i started a while ago for myself need to get it finished and also want to get the sewing machine out as there is a bit of mending to catch up on.
