Have soaked some aduki beans overnight so will cook them in pressure cooker today and then freeze for using in mince dishes (OH can detect a lentil at 100 paces but doesn't [STRIKE]notice [/STRIKE]mind the beans

Realised when cooking the chilli that I am out of kidney beans so was thinking I would have to do a supermarket shop then found a pack of dried kidney beans in cupboard so they are soaking and will cook them tonight - something out of the cupboard and saved a trip to the shop

Oh bum, just realised we are nearly out of teabags so might have to go after all.

Jobs for today:

• Clean duck and chicken house
• Pot on courgette plants
• Sow lettuce seeds
• Clean bathroom
• Clean kitchen
• Sort out cat insurance
• Fill in motorbike V5s ready to send off
• Get wine kit started

Oof, got a lot to do - better have another cuppa first

If I were you I'd prioritise the wine kit starting over the cleaning jobs....

Hmm, shouldn't really be slacking off on here but not feeling terribly motivated

You could sort your cat insurance whilst surfing MSE

Hi there Thanks for visiting my diary. I've subscribed to yours too. Just 7 pages to catch up on now...!

Caught up now! I love the idea of keeping chickens, esp since I have two little girls who would adore it. Maybe it's something to consider in a year or two once we've got the rest of the house sorted.

We're still living out of boxes atm and have a huuuuuge to-do list!

Aduki beans cooked and in freezer, kidney beans in the pressure cooker, curried cauliflower in slow cooker.

Feel like I am getting somewhere

Hi Lannie, thanks for stopping by I hear you about the boxes and the To Do list!

Anoncol, you are probably right

Grr, still waiting on quotes from both roofers who were here over 2 weeks ago. I give up, it's impossible to get anything done! I called 3 builders on Thursday last week and none of them have called back :mad:

So have emailed 4 more roofers this evening and have one coming round on Thursday morning when I am working from home. Fingers crossed one of these a. wants the work, b. can type up a quote and c. isn't a complete rip off merchant :rotfl:

Orders for 3 boxes of hens eggs and 1 box of duck eggs tomorrow = £5.50 coming in :T

I can be frustrating everything happens for a reason so keep your chin up :]
5.50 wooo hens are doing well :]
