Mr RT is very funny. Main issue is passport is not more than 180 days before it expires so I've done that online, if its back in time then great if not, well I guess its not meant to be.

Deep sigh.

I've started watching the fly-lady stuff. Managed to tidy the kitchen and whilst my sink isn't shiny the table is cleared.

Morning all.

Today
Send presentation in
Check banks/ccs
Home meals
Pick some veg
do some logs/wood stuff
Work six hours
Walk les mutts
Get clothes organised for Wed (early out)

Banks/etc first - a quick load in the machine.

Cold here today Starnac I think we stole your weather.

Mornin' Pips
Rather envious of your list - best way to start a day off!
On my way to the big smoke after four days of no commute - not so bad after having a break from it...
Shopping from the stores this weekend involved clearing out the dregs of another tube of cream and transferring bath soap into a shower gel squessy tube...
Mr me helped by decluttering the ends of some cheese - I hid the new block so he thinks we have run out - crafty eh?

It's raining here

Good list Pippi. I do like a good stripey list first thing I've already been :money: this morning by comparing utility quotes. Seems we could save £22 a month! Nice one!

Crafty indeed. Now tell me was this bar soap into gel container or squishy soap. I'm well impressed either way!!

Hope your commute is OK, I'm commuting tomorrow - bleurgh. My normal commute is 8 miles of wiggley-biggly roads and a few horses.

Well done starnac. :T

I've done the dishwasher and should be able to hang up a load before I go, washing, not cups. :rotfl:

Banks very normal. Not great, not over. All good.

I have this wonderful image of stripey, spotty and flowery cups and mugs hanging from washing line in your lovely garden (super pic the other day btw):D:D:D:D:D

Fingers crossed that the passport arrives back in record time, a visit to the land of big mountains sounds amazing.

List needed here too, few items outstanding from last one, and just to make things difficult it is raining (but only a little) 2 sunny and blowy days enabled the drying of lots of washing, so machine gets a rest today.

Dry all day Maddiemay when I was at work, now its persisting down greatly.

Isn't that just typical?

Hope you're good.

Tea was yummy fish steaks and chips

Done breakfast for me and lunch for tomorrow for DH
Made a bit extra rice and we'll have that with leftover curry tomorrow
Hens fed and food ready for the morning
Brought home a carrier bag of cones from my walk at lunchtime so they're now drying in the kitchen for starting fires

About to hop in the bath.

Bar soap indeed! - I'm not that creative Pips my dear!:D You must have me confused with our dear Cheery! In theory it was bubble bath I think, but thick gloopy stuff, so does well in the place of shower gel - just need to use less than with 'real' gel or there are too may bubbles to rinse out of tub!

Just saw Maddiemay's siggy & I think that's the idea I'm striving for - there are way too many end bits of toiletries in this house that need to be put to use - and lesson learned that cheap gift sets are not really better value if all the extra components languish away not being used!:D

Fingers crossed for the passport! DVLA turned a replacement driving licence around in four days for my brother last week (on their standard service!), so government services can be efficient when they try

Love Maddiemay's signature but can't fathom what it means!! Good for you RT on using things up we're not too bad at the moment but I must go through the dreaded cupboard under the bathroom sink.......well reminded.

Caz fingers crossed. hope you're good.

Morning lands

Today a 6 hour garden day, yesterday was 4 hours commuting and 7 hour meeting - long day. Scoffed tea when home thank goodness I'd prepared it.

Put the left over rice in a takeaway tub and its now nestling in the freezer for another quick tea, two portions to a takeaway box so that's quite easy to fathom.

Need to use up some eggs so it might be omlettes later.

Before work need to do a few chores.

Banks
Dishwasher
Fold up washing and put a load on
Hens fed, need checking for eggs and given some greens
Make lunch
Swipe around a bathroom
make dr appointment for some bloods - yeuch.
FB a chum to make a catch up plan
Sweep kitchen floor as my grannie would say - looks like it you could make soup from it.
Fill up stick baskets
Pick some veg

Enough for now I think.

Have a good un.
