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.

:rotfl::rotfl: For a long time the only thread that I contributed to was the "buy no more toiletries in (current month)" thread.

Excess zeal in taking advantage of special offers and very generous gifts received at birthdays and christmas meant that I probably could have opened my very own beauty store:o My sig is an attempt to reduce the stashes and curb my buying. Since moving to this house with much bigger garden I need a no more buying plants thread instead:D:D

Sweep kitchen floor as my grannie would say - looks like it you could make soup from it.

Love this comment, not heard it before.

Have a great day.

Hey Maddie thanks for explaining!

And the soup-floor comment I use every single day. I've no idea if its an old expression. She had some corkers.

Have a great one.

Done a bit of womble work on the book, I'm off to sort out the day's physical work now.

Must find a decent pedometer as the phone gets flat too quickly. I reckon I'm doing 6-7 miles a day at work.

Any suggestions welcomed! (Starnac.......?)

Me??? To be honest I've only ever used cheap ones (approx £5) and they've worked fine for me. At the moment I'm using a more expensive one as I got it for free It's not the best as it doesn't show me how many steps I've done. I've got to sync it to my phone to see my steps which is pretty annoying.

I love a pedometer as it's amazing how far you can walk evry day without knowing. In uni I worked in a night club and used to walk 3-4miles just up and down the bar!

Fitb1t is supposed to be good as it gives you a lot of info on how active you are, heart rate etc. They are approx £70-80 though. Don't you have an anniversary coming up? *wink wink*

Nae word frae the cooncil then?

Thanks lovely starnac a fiver one would do too thanks for the info.

Beanie - nothing. I'm well disgusted. If I've not got it fair enough but at least let me know.

Pfft.

I'm grumpy as i'm covered in harvest mite bites, happens every year, but its annoying. feel like I've got chicken pox. Taken anti-whotsit meds and slaithered in anti-itchy cream, not nice.

Boo to me.

6 hours work done, showered, slaithered and looking at the sun/black clouds wondering what might happen.

Need to fathom a quick and easy tea plan Off to nose in cupboards.

At a free tattie at work today with some beans. It was freshly hatched and very yummy.

Soup is an easy tea propped up with veg from the garden, and dumplings from the freezer.

Chinese hot and sour with the above. Mine is a cheats soup as I've not got most of the ingredients but it will be fine with a bit of haberdashery-ing.

Using left over chicken as the meat
Dumplings as the tofu
Shallot stalks as the spring onions/chives
Cabbage stalks and mangetout as the bamboo shoots - perfect crunch
Chucked in half a bit of a left over salsa tub for colour and spice.

Sounds well dodgy but will work out well and tastes grand.

And I have the vinegar and the white pepper which are the main ingredients anyway so we'll be fine. Honest.

Soup done no one died

Sorting lunches and clearing up the kitchen before bed.

Not much done tonight pesky bites have me grumpy and medicine makes me tired.

Have a good one!

Hey up me ducks

Beautiful morning here. Almost like summer

A wee list me thinks

Check banks later if wages are in from wombles
Form to go for insurance stuff got all the scans/paperwork I need right now.
Load of washing on and will get that out in garden, might do bedding quickly too.
Dr's for blood work - later start at work
5-6 hours of garden work.
Text SIL to see what time they come on Sat
FB friend to work around that
Touch base with kids in NZ
Walk les mutts
Fed chickens no eggs so far - 3 yesterday
Pick some tomatoes and some mangetout.

Not sure about tea tonight as its date night but have something prepared from last nights clean up, kitchen is clean now and I made some chilli from turkey mince I found languishing in the freezer, half a packet of fajhita mix and some courgettes/tomatoes from the garden.

For now lunches and general house-ery work. Washing to fold you know the drill.

Hope you all have a good un, anything good planned for weekend.

Haha - this sounds like my soup adventures - sometimes OH gets upitty about leftovers - I chuck them in a soup - he downs it & says it was delicious!

Love a good list Pips - wee or otherwise! (what's scots for otherwise?):D Sounds like you are doing well organising yourself, work bits and home bits - happy to hear you being your chipper self!:)

Plans for this weekend involve a haircut - well overdue - need to look a bit sharper now that I'm working in the big smoke everyday - OH says not to worry as he's seen my workmates & thinks I'm holding my own:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: - He doesn't realize that the mates are 'downstairs' and I have the pleasure of hanging about 'upstairs' for much of my day so have to put some extra effort into looking pulled together!

Also a trip to the chiropractor to have lower spine adjusted - did it in really well falling down the stairs at the 'house by the sea' - also broken toe healing but still ouchy - podiatrist says at least another 6 weeks in flats - sigh - so much for looking sharp at work :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: - flats is sooooooooo easy in my own time - it's usually birks style sandals, hiking boots or bare feet!:D

On the subject of work - Am meant to be working from home today so best crack on - load of laundry, clean kitchen and leisurely breakfast doesn't count as paid work now does it?:p
