sounds a lovely meal honey.
ive culled a huge pile of newspapers and mags and am waging war on the table. i put some dvds away and am wondering why we have 3 copies of both i am legend and hancock. no wonder our dvd collection is taking over the house. if DH sees them cheap at the carboot he cant leave them - he says if we already have it we can always give it someone who wants it but them they get mixed in with ours. wondering what else we have multiples of???

I have all ours filed in alphabetical order; and one of my Frogs is to list them all on a spreadsheet, so that we don't even have to go and look in the cupboard to see what we have. I've already done a spreadsheet for the CDs and games.

Sorry to hear about the teacher Mrs MP.

Had a bit of a lazy week so far, I spent yesterday in my room on the laptop sorting out some online things while DD watched programmes she'd recorded on the DVR. We're finally up to stuff recorded during the past week. She's currently watching Delias Classic Christmas which is our rental dvd :rotfl: I did have lots of films on the list but there you go :rotfl:

Today I've been pottering, stripped my bed, had a bath & caught up with some other online things I need to do laundry including ironing. DD was doing it but she's not feeling well so I guess its up to me

I'm shattered, but I need to go think about making tea, swap the washing over, do some more dishes as they seem to be breeding, and then do some ironing. I was supposed to be working today but I think I'll leave it until DD has gone to bed. She can have an early night as she keeps falling asleep on the sofa. Then I can also catch up with watching my programmes not suitable for DD. Off I go :wave:

natty dont worry im sure we all had enough to keep us busy.

LW thank you for the list/spreadsheet idea, i may have to borrow that, i tried alphabetising them in the cupboards and sticking lists inside the cupboard doors. but that only works IF people who watch them put them back in the right places

greent

Am putting my lists up because then I can take off all the things I've done or am not going to do. Looks like we'll be out much of tomorrow here: http://www.cattlecountry.co.uk/ (I have free tickets) which means less flying time - and Fri from lunchtime we have friends round for a play date/ gossip.

I am currently flying through the Buckinghamshire countryside on my eighth train journey in three days! Have just returned DGS 1+2 to DR at Waterloo. Felt (and looked) like a camel, carrying one rucksack (their clothes and cuddly toys) on my back and another (my K!ndle, lunchbox and water bottles) on my front, so as to have both hands free to hold onto the boys. They have been :A :A

My house is tidy but needs a thorough clean next week. Washing is up to date and the lawn has not grown because we've had no rain, but this morning a molehill has appeared right in the middle grr

A really good day flying wise yesterday and the film we watched last night was Last Vegas, very funny and I chose a small bag of toffee popcorn.


Today, I am glad there was no list as I've had paperwork to catch up on and I cut the grass again around the paid stuff. Tomorrow, I will see what I can do from Thursday's list before the paid stuff.


Right, dogs to be fed and papers to be read.


Have a great evening everyone.
