Man it is bucketing it down here. Not sure what we'll do today but yesterday oh & dgd were touting to go swimming. I'm reluctant because of the cost, it's been an expensive month for me so don't have any spare cash now until payday... Might have to whip up a creative crafty storm at home to divert attention and suggest a wellied walk in the woods

I plan to:
* [STRIKE]list some blinking things on fleabay[/STRIKE]
* do something with all these apples before it's too late
* nip to the lottie to pick up some bits and pick anything that needs picking
* [STRIKE]portion and freeze curried lentil, parsnip & apple soup made last night[/STRIKE]
* usual bags, clothes & lunches ready for tomorrow
* use up apple crumble with dinner tonight
* sew buttons on mac
* update spending diary
*[STRIKE] make a veg lasagne & a couple of pizza bases for later in the week when working [/STRIKE]
* going to have a go at making hm "comforter" bazz fizz bars (similar to what you get at L*sh) oh got 90% of the ingredients from his work so all I needed to get was bicarb of soda & cream of tartar :T very excited by this!

Left over of tonight's meal portioned up for work lunches
Friends birthday, card and present from stash
Ran locally for free exercise
Managed to nearly dry a load outside before the rain came
Ordered a new duvet and pillows to collect tomorrow using c/b
Sold a fleabay item and at least 2 more will sell tonight
Made packed lunches for tomorrow
Put 2 loads of washing away I dried outside yesterday
Hoovered upstairs
DH changed bed, wm loaded to be on overnight
Will have a quiet night with DH watching American football I think. Hope everyone has had a lovely day. PF.0 -
Hi all
So far today:
Car booting first thing
Listed a few more things on ebay - no sales so far this weekend though
HM meals from stores - got my spiralizer out and did HG cucumber and carrot for salad, added HG spring onions, pea shoots and micro leaves alongside the last of our tomatoes, with a bit of bought lettuce and half a red pepperWe had this with a jacket potato and some of the goats cheese, chive and ham tart I made from fridge use-up ingredients the other day. Also managed to use up the last of the hummus and coleslaw today
Went for a lovely long country walk with OH and the dog this afternoon, to make the most of the nice weather
Just lit the wood burner as it is chilly now, kettle on ready for 'free' tea and coffee once it boils
Cleared some almost empty boxes out of the garage as I need the space - might have to sort out sales stock tomorrow. These are nice big plastic crates with lids, much better than some of the other boxes my stock is stored in.Will have a think! Either way, they can go up to the loft conversion / spare bedroom / stock room!
Ooh that doesn't sound much does it0 -
