If you're worried about a Best Before date I wouldn't worry too much. We had a jar of homemade stuff in the cupboard dated 2007 and only got around to using last year - it still tasted absolutely lovely and no-one got ill.
Good luck with the new job, Dusty.
Two rooms to turn around today and a shower room. Procastination central here ....Better is good enough.0 -
Hi all
2 loads of clothes on line and 3 pairs of trainers, washing machine is now on a cleaning cycle. Short crust done for the quiche tonight, potatoes peeled and cranks Belgian cake just out of the oven it smells gorgeous. I've been out to get sawdust for rabbit, I will make DD help clean him out, picked up some bin bags for more flinging.
Nothing much done in the kitchen apart from tidying up the mess I made baking.
Off to sort the rest of the veg for dinner.I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged0 -
This morning didn't go according to plan. After setting up ironing table I realised that as I hadn't got extra paid work this morning it would be my last chance to clean mils kitchen before boiler man goes in tomorrow, so nipped round. Mil had a bit of a melt down and got very upset, I ended up ringing the Drs after calming her down and putting her to bed. Stayed with her all morning, sorted out friend doing fencing (who's doing a brill job) had to go work but Drs been out, nurse is going to do a blood test tomorrow to check if blood levels are ok. Been back round she's calmed down now, so I've got a couple of hours to play catch up with my stuff now I've done work. Checked with friend about journey sharing for tonight's kayaking. Confirmed with boiler man he's starting tomorrow. Neighbours popped round with a beautiful wedding card she's made for another neighbours DD. need to feed boys, tidy lounge and kitchen and then make a start on the ironing I planned to do this morning.SPC~12 ot 124

Hi all,
Long day of paid stuff today, but I'm definitely in this week. My target is to get further down the lists than the middle of Wednesday. That probably only makes sense to me. natty thanks for list, willow hope everyone goes ok in hospital.
I'm off to get the small ones into bed and eat something, then I might do a bit in the kitchen. Got carried away this morning trying to get all the daily stuff done before setting off for work. I managed it, but was 15 mins late. Oops0 -
Hi flyfriends
Dinner scoffed and the washing up done, washing off the line some on the winterdyke and the rest put away. DD bathed, her ingrown toenail is back its all red and yucky again. Will see what they say at the surgery tomorrow. Uniform out for tomorrow no work stuff for OH as he's taking two days off.
OH had a telephone consultation with gp he now thinks it some sort of bug but he wants to run more tests. Need to pick up a prescription for tablets for cholesterol tomorrow which he will be on forever. Blood pressure monitor fitting should be within a fortnight.
willow hope all goes well xxx
Off to throw myself in a bath with my book.I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged0 -
