    Evening all :)
    Thanks for the start Legomum, and Maria, hope you perk up soon :)

    Shattered today as I did not sleep at all well, but have managed to:
    Pack and post 2 ebay sales
    Walked dog for free exercise, for both of us!
    Needed fabric conditioner (don't use for many loads, last small bottle I bought was about 3 months ago - but I do like the smell :o) and pesto from the SM, so bought just that :D
    But DID buy 2 gammon joints from a posh local farm /smokery for £5 from the butcher's shop - he has them on offer sometimes, they aren't that big, and a slightly funny shape, but it is still local cured gammon and each one of the joints is big enough for OH and I for at least a couple of meals plus scraps :D
    Used up scraps from the fridge for meals, no cooking today, except for some oven chips (HM from our potatoes which are sadly nearly finished now)
    Watered everything in front and back gardens, including fruit trees and raspberries, as we have a horrible, drying wind which just won't stop :(
    Picked courgettes, tomatoes and French beans, plus a few raspberries and blueberries :D
    Dried bedding from one of the spare beds on the line in said wind! At least it is useful for something!
    A survey for Pinecone and several for onepoll
    RM surveys tasks

    Early night beckons I think!

    Lego Mum thank you for getting us started today.

    Over the last month or two we have had lots of trips away some just one or two nights and some a week, often we would arrive home one evening and away again the next day. I have done my best to keep up, but I haven't always managed it. We have spent very little as we have generally camped or stayed with friends or family. Entertainment has included museums, galleries playing with friends, workshops and fun at home education camps, board games, card games as well as getting together with local HE families to participate in the RSPB's big sleep out where we went bat spotting and moth catching. We are home now till Friday when we plan to camp with another family. In the meantime I am trying to sort out the house as well as resume lessons with the children.

    Today I have:
    Entertained and educated the children for free
    NSD
    Rm survey
    Dried 2 loads of washing, annoyingly I needed to use the airer as it rained a few times
    Made a loaf of bread

    I'm sure there is more, but that's all I can think of.

    BB take my hat off to you. I'd be desperate for my own space and privacy after all that communal living!
