I gave the leeks a wide berth in Aldini tonight as I wasn't sure what to do with them. I did get some limes though, and learned you can freeze them in slicesPay off Car Loan £17,047 £10580 by Christmas 2022

Good call on the limes and thanks too for the leeks ideas - that'll use them up nicely. Batch cooked chilli tonight and a batch leek cooking day tomorrow I think, great suggestions, thank you.
Cath - pleased to read you're on you way with the planning dept, keeping fingers crossed it sails through smoothly. I was checking the website daily for updates for all 8 weeks and saw the outcome before the architect was notified!
Housework all done today, made another chocolate cake (kept DIYer and DS happy), sink waste repair done and DIYer went through structural calcs (turns out it's a neat solution) and we updated my project plan, split by shell and everything else. He also swapped out one of the lounge lights for his electrician Dad to try and repair (2 of the 3 arms not working).
Also popped to Sbugs as had a 2000 points voucher just for swiping card and an 18p off voucher to use - spent 67p getting the butter for cake that I forgot in Ald! this morning.Back on the DFW Wagon:

Last day before back to school and full-on work - the week has flown by.
£1 TT'd to holding = £2.84 so far to add to MOP day which is only 7 sleeps away. I'll have to round it up whatever the pence to keep my whole pounds OCD happy
Jobs for today:
- work stuff
- prep DS's stuff for back to school
- leek cooking
- Inbox £s surveys - sat at £19.05, 10p bonus on a Sunday to come, plus daily searches, add in a few surveys and the £20 payout shall be mine
So many other jobs I'd like to get done that I think I need to break them into 30 minute mini-tasks and tackle them that way.
Springy has tidied up DS's mugs by bringing them to me one by one and swapping for a treat which means dishwasher is full and on again! Back on the DFW Wagon:

All this talk of food/cakes is making me hungry. I have some banana's that I'm waiting on being over ripe to use in a cake recipe - watched Jamie Oliver last week and saw his "hummingbird cake" looked delicious and might give it a try if I can find the recipe.

That sounds divine..just looked it up. There'ss a tin of pineapple in the cupboard going spare and some over-ripe bananas in the freezer. Next weekend maybe, I need to watch my weight with cake and I'd get that one all to myself

Think I've redeemed myself....
- made a potato, leek, carrot and onion soup - very tasty and enough for 2 lunches (wish I'd made a larger batch)
- prep done for DS back to school
- some work stuff done
- Inbox £s - got up to £19.58 :j
- spring cleaned in the kitchen (inside fridge and microwave too!)
- sorted shoes and coats cupboard - a few thoroughly worn out pairs for the bin and a few for charity bagged up to go.
DIYer returned with the lounge light all fixed and put back up :T Cake all eaten!
I've also ordered a decent pressure washer with patio cleaning head. On offer at half price, so getting one before the Easter rush. Will make life easier for cleaning the block paved frontage, paths and new patio (which is green already!).Back on the DFW Wagon:
