Afternoon all
Hope everyone is well.

Nursemagggie when I'm using the iPad I sometimes find I accidentally unsubscribe myself from thread by touching the wrong part of the screen (fat fingers) is really frustrating if you don't notice at the time.

Picked up done compost and grow bags today as I still have more planting to do, kitchen window is full of pots of seeds waiting for warmer weather to arrive.

Cut out some capes last night for school role play, will get them sewn up to take in on on Monday.

I seem to have my MMM mojo back, I've cut out 2 bags, sewn up some hole in the DGC's clothes and re-covered my dining chairs.

I use an Ipad and sometimes my finger is in the wrong place and things get reported as spam lol.

Beautiful day here in North Lincolnshire


Minimised the laundry basket by three loads, washed , line dried,ironed and put away


Made do by taking down and cleaning the two double celled plastic sheeting from the pergola over the back door - it was ming-ing with thick moss, green mould and general yuckiness. OH is putting it back up this once he has modified it to lie sloping rather than flat. We were going to chuck it and replacing it until we priced up new sheeting- £50!


No mending today -having a night with the telly

Found a good way of minimising today-we're moving furniture from one room to another and I said the drawers had to be sorted before moving.

Hubby looked through them and got stuff out he wanted, I collected the batteries for recycling, anything good is in the charity shop /recycling box and the rest-bin! If we hadn't used it/missed it in the years is been in there, out it goes! There was about 10 pens that didn't work and a million clothes pegs-those little bu66ers get everywhere.

I did three loads of laundry yesterday, and tried to linedry them in the very sunny times between the showers. For the towel load I had to make do with the dryer when the hail started

Morning Folks,

Mend A weekend of mending. Took the tumble drier back to the shop, as it was making a loud buzzing noise. Now fixed. Rinsed through the pipes on the dishwasher. Now working better.

Make Do - Made Laundry gloop.

Minimise - Usually squirt in some Stardrops to the gloop for a bit of bubble! Used up 5 half used travel shampoos instead!

Have a good week HE x

Morning all. A bit dull today here in Lancashire - some very grey looking clouds so maybe not a drying day.
Make do: got some bedding dry yesterday out on the washing line. There's something quite satisfying about a line full of washing. I used up some old plastic compost bags and planted up with potatoes
Minimise: Made some couscous, and added some spring onions past their best and used up a rather wrinkly lemon. This accompanied a piece of pork fillet my brother brought me which cost £3! He visits various markets in Lancashire usually an hour before closing, and picks up some bargains. it went down well with OH and DD1. He also brought me some strawberry plants which will have to go in some planters I have.
No mending.

Morning mmmers, hope everyone is well.

Got capes sewn up so can minimise them off to school today.
Got a load of ornaments to box up for the CS. I took 4 bin bags and 3 big fruit boxes of stuff to them on Saturday so managing to minimise excess possessions to a local good cause.

Got more compost so hopefully will be making do with home grown produce over the summer.

Need to mend a photo from again as last mend wasn't successful. Think I need double sided foam tape instead of normal double sided sticky tapes as surfaces are a little uneven but rigid so not bonding well.

Have a great day all, will catch up later.

Good afternoon all you MMMer's
I've done DD washing pegged it out, went to see my Dad and took DGS along with me. Then went to the chemist and collected our tablets followed by a trip to the bank. Arrived back at DD we had lunch Spag hoops on toast DGS favourite. DH arrived so I've managed to get all the ironing done too. I've got a baby cardi to stitch up and then post it to friends new grandson who arrived last night, welcome to the world Harry.
Evening meal is cottage pie and veg which only needs pinging when we get home.
Hugs to all who need one and a friendly smile x
