    Sat here now with a cup of coffee and a lovely chocolatine before attacking the kitchen! Z gets herself to school but taken S to school, walked the dogs, cleaned the chooks out and just taken out a load of washing I put on earlier so feeling I've accomplished a lot already. Chucking it down with rain now; luckily me and the dogs missed it!

    Does anyone fancy a HHC at 10.15? I may do 2 back to back.

    I'll join you Mumof2 to get me going. So far this morning I've done the horse(s) and put a few clothes away that had found themselves on my bedroom floor.

    Mixed last few days with OH; Friday was terrible, he felt sick all day and was very down. Down in weight too at 8st3 which is depressing for both of us in different ways. Sat was heaps better, yesterday was somewhere in the middle. 2 successful baking efforts in that he ate enthusiastically a lemon drizzle bun (not made those before with gf flour) and another smoked salmon & 3-cheese pizza.

    Right leaps into action.

    Morning all. Welcome back to the returners :)

    Got lots of jobs done on the high st after school drop off. Mince bought from butchers, organic milk stocked up on, cheque paid in, watch battery sorted. Unfortunately also witnessed a car v pedestrian incident so have spoken to police already as the car drove off and I took a photo n my phone. Thankfully the man wasn't hurt and the police now have a number plate to follow up :(

    Bumped Into lots of people on my way round so it took a lot longer than it should! one of the bumpees invited me to a knitting and chat night in the pub tomorrow so I shall defer yoga for yet another week :D

    House not too bad, dh dismantled dyson to wash filters so I have to irk out how to put it back together before I can do the floor :D

    I'm doing this 100 days of real food thing so i am now eating 2 fruit/veg with breakfast/lunch/dinner and this weeks pledge is no processed sugar in drinks, so no squash and no sugar in tea/coffee. Honey and maple syrup allowed so I'm decluttering a coffee with honey which tastes surprisingly ok!
