    Bath
    WUDUPA and keep on top of it
    Walk dogs twice
    Hoover and mop through house
    Post seeds to HB
    Gardening
    Make a batch of bolognese sauce to freeze

    Have a great day everyone.

    Our bedroom tidied and dusted, kitten is now walking around the house with the duster in his mouth.
    WM1 on the maiden, no 2 loaded but will start later for overnight drying

    Off for a shower next and to clean the bathroom and then on to the decoratoring task.

    Rain means garden tasks have been postponed, so the choice of what gives has been made.

    Feeling a little sad in the frizzle household :(

    We went to view two houses yesterday. One of which we have had our eye on since November. Just decided we were going to put an offer in on Monday morning when we get a phone call from our estate agent. The people who we accepted an offer from are still looking at other houses and now have two that they can't decide between!

    So after much wine and ice cream last night, we have decided that every month we are on the market will mean a larger deposit for the house. My pragmatic side is happier but my emotional side tells me we are not in a position to put the offer in on a new house and someone else will end up buying it! :(

    Anyway, have a mountain of ironing so going to throw myself into that!

    Have a good Sunday everyone!

    Is everyone going away for Easter? :easter_ba
    Am I going to be left here on my own?? :eek: :(

    Nope. I'm around, although OH mentioned yesterday that he'll be in London on Saturday. That'll be watching his team, I think, so I'm not sure if he's staying over or coming back on the last train.

    Does anyone know if you can use Berto11i olive oil spread to make pastry. Irritating lodger has left the building (yay!) having poured away her milk which we would have used, and left the spread, which we don't use. I don't make cakes or scones which it says it's fine for, but I do makes ordinary pastry and cheese pastry. Would it work for that, or is it too oily?
    Better is good enough.
