    Welcome Lauralozzle! :wave:

    I don't mind admitting I've got a touch of cramp in my list-ticking arm Valli, and a faintly saintly glow about me. Now to tackle the monster ....

    Most impressive work, Honey Bear!

    Lazy day here. OH has been cleaning inside the caravan, ready for us to put it up for sale. Just needs the carpet cleaned off now and then the outside to be washed (and then it can have the cover back on so that it stays clean!!) and then we're good to advertise it :) (oh - and we need to clear all the kitchen bits out of the cupboards and drawers) Aiming to have it on sale maybe end of next weekend (depending upon the weather) - maybe someone will want it for Whit week! :)

    I've given the downstairs loo a good clean (after OH emptied the caravan loo in it - the smalls like sleeping in there on a weekend, so will use the loo at night if necessary), baked some rolls for packed lunches this week, WM x 1 (although now need to TD it as weather has been/ is wet... :(), a quick trip to Tesc0 for milk and kidney beans, made a tray of flapjack for packed lunches using a packet of apple and cinnamon muesli DS1 brought back from cadet camp, pasta sauce for tonight (very garlic-y - shall have to try and not breathe on anyone tomorrow at work! :D) and a massive pan of chilli to use bits up out of the fridge (including 3 part sorry-looking peppers, some wrinkly mushrooms and some past-their-best courgettes - and a sachet of salsa found in the pantry (we don't eat it) and the end of a tube of tomato puree) That's dinner sorted for me for several nights (will happily eat the same thing) and it's loaded up with veg and used lots of bits up:T

    Have also played board games with smalls and 'done' reading with youngest. Just bags to double check ready for the morning (my mum is taking them as I have work) and some ironing to do (although all uniform has been done:T) and lunch prep after dinner tonight :)

    Two ebay parcels are going out tomorrow and a broken heater left the building today :) Only things in have been groceries - all of which will be eaten by next weekend.

    Afternoon all and welcome newbies.

    You've all been so busy flying and all I've done is put some washing on the line. DH and a neighbour have cut the grass for me.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    I'm in - thanks Valli :A Slowly seeing some improvement in the house but still LOTS to do :o I want to get one of the spare bedrooms converted into a bathroom in the summer hols so, hopefully, this (and you lot) will motivate me to clear more carp!

    HB - wow! Well done!

    A lazy day here too as I went to the cinema this morning and caught up with a couple of TV episodes when I got back. I have, however, cleaned one ratty cage and done a load of washing.

    Hugs to all who want or need one xx

    Hi and welcome to newbies; lovely to have you here.

    I've sort of done some Flying - done a load of whites and ironed whilst still damp so that's the uniform ready for tomorrow. I've also done all my other ironing which took a while! Had a good day though; DD and me went and had a ride on the horse I'm part loaning then pottered around until J picked us up. Got back, had lovely shower then been pottering this afternoon.

    Many thanks for the lists Valli and thanks for last week's Natty.

    Welcome Rachiedabbler and Lauralozzle :wave:

    Managed to get the washing up done and s&s'd the bathroom before we had to go and meet friends. Turns out the spring fair wasn't that good, more like a collection of brick a brac stalls. But had a lovely floor picnic and afternoon. Went round the edges of the cut grass from yesterday with edging shears, lawn edger, hand fork and general mauling and pulling until there was some semblance of a straight edge again.

    Think it'll be an early night tonight as I'm pooped and we have to be up and out of the house in time for a 40min drive, beating rush hour traffic for DH mri.
