buxtonrabbitgreen

going in the coal house to get potatoes from sack, and seeing all my jars of jam and preserves lined up.
Getting the washing dry outside
Making my christmas cakes
Also made a birthday cake to order for my dd. I have never really attempted icing but it is not too bad. Would have been better if my hands were steadier but I think she will be pleased when she comes home.

1. Buying a new bra from M&S in the mark down section, was £14, paid
£3.00. Just what I wanted too.

2. Hugging both grand daughters, one under each arm, whilst watching
telly.

3. Walking in the sunshine in a short sleeved t-shirt and trousers and loving
the feel of the sun on my skin.

4. Peeling and chopping my fresh veg for tonights roast supper.

5. Giving my old man a cuddle.:o

1) Baking 4 loaves -white for a change puts a smile on OH's face.

2) Baking 2 dozen oatmeal and raisin muffins for the lunchboxes this week and putting them in the freezer so I won't eat them:o

3) Leftovers for lunch

4)Using up the leftover cream and squashy bananas for a pudding tonight -slice bananas, fold into whipped cream and add sultanas and dark brown sugar. Yummy

5) Counting my blessings after reading Candygirl's sad news today.

So glad this thread has re-appeared .

1. Freezing some of my left-over home-made 'scouse' for dgd2 (nearly a year old) as it's difficult for her mum to find suitable baby-food for her due to milk/lactose intolerance.

2. Getting lots of washing done today and all dried outside - just rescued before the rain started. All now 'airing' on the maiden .

3. Prepping, blanching and freezing the veg I've bought in Asda this week - now got bags of frozen carrots, carrots and swede, parsnips and leeks .

4. Made, chilled and froze two large margarine containers of Potato and Leek soup .

5. Sunday lunch was not exactly OS but it was definitely a money-saving one - Asda Indian Takeaway for two all at wonderful whoopsie prices and warmed up in the microwave (cheapest way).

domestic_goddess

1) Making cupcakes with DD6.

2) OH saying that HM chilli was the best he had ever tasted

3) Using freecycle to get rid of stuff that I would have previously thrown out

4) Kind of OS going for a nice walk to the beach this morning..... Not so OS buying a bacon and egg bun from the burger van at the beach:eek:

5) Not so OS but money saving - I like Ernst and Gallo White grenache (about a fiver a bottle) but I found a 3 litre box of it in Home Bargains for a tenner. It tastes way better as a bargain!

Glad

1. sorted out DS clothes and made 2 piles, 1 for charity and 1 for friends son

3. made home made subway with ham, chicken, cheese, olives, salad and mayo
4. only used DW once
5. realise that I've had tub of washing detergent (£12 for 12kg) for 6mnths and not yet halfway through, so will work out less than £1 per month for 4 of us
