Having said that the flour is still appearing all over the place as we're currently eating that loaf and keeping it wrapped in the towel with flour on :rotfl:

    Sitting down with a drink to celebrate having done the fridge. It actually wasn't that bad (the benefit of being on a budget means there's not much in there!) and now it's all clean ready for the veg box delivery tomorrow. I need to pop into town to collect a duvet from the launderette and buy a watch battery for my son's watch. We've just got a B&M store here so might pop in for a nosey as well.

    so far this morning ive cut the front hedge our side and neighbours ive picked up and bagged all of our side clipping and weeded and dead headed our front garden. rang friend and had a good natter and made the promise of going round for a coffee with her.
    had a quick natter with an over the road neighbour and gave her a load of scrap booking/card making stuff i wasnt going to use.
    amazing how local power cut and the fact vandals set fire to the local swimming baths can get people talking.

    need to go back out and bag the clippings on the neighbours side now then ill spend a HHC in the kitchen

    I bought the boys some cherries for an after school treat but I keep picking every time I go into the kitchen. There'll be none left by 3 o'clock at this rate. Note to self: destroy all evidence that they were ever there ;)

    Gas man has been, it's definitely the drip from on high which is causing the problem, I have already :p via text to DH as he immediately poopooed my theory. Just a shame it's cost me £48+VAT to prove me right.

    Fridge has been gutted, all shelves removed and scrubbed, it wasn't as bad as I'd anticipated. Floors all mopped, second load just finished in the WM, lounge looks like a Chinese laundry again.

    One appointment rescheduled, another two calls to make, if I can find the number for the pension man…
