I've just done my first ever Iceland shop and I am amazed at how much I've got for £54! Anyone else shop there?

yes.. I do an order every 3-4 months and fill 2 freezers with all manner of stuff.. and frozen veg.

greent .. it just said on radio that there is a 7% drop in A* Maths this year.. but that may not be a bad thing given how easy they had become.. maybe this is simply more realistic.

Morning,

DD has been chivvying me along to finish my coffee, she wanted to trim up the tea-party room (aka conservatory) so we've just put bunting and streamers up. She's now on a mission to make crowns for all the guests (not too many )

My bedding is in the WM soon to be pegged out (hopefully no typos today honeybear) and the bin needs emptying. We have a couple of errands to run and some holiday prep things to sort, but other than that it will be general tidying, dusting and so on to make space for tomorrow's afternoon tea.

Must fill the car up with fuel at some point!

Have a nice day, everyone xx

Morning all,

WM spinning as I type. Also decided this morning that I want matching mugs not the chipped assortment we have in the cupboard which annoy me, so I have rage flung! Sense a trip to Homesense at some point today.

The dog needs a good run so when I've finished this cuppa we will take her over the fields and into the woods.

The weather looks fine for the weekend :j so we will get out and about. Have fab days all xx

So far today:

- 2 wash loads on the line
- Hour long dog walk
- Park trip
- Quick Aldi trip (for the bits I couldn't get in Iceland)

Now about to rustle up some lunch then hopefully the groceries will arrive soon. Oooh, also put a few things on the street for the scrappies to collect. Saves me a trip to the tip!

I never know where to start when it comes to housework, I am so behind with it, so thanks for this list. Have done the hallway (something that always gets left, because it's 'not urgent'!)

I have a waterproof jacket I'd like to get washed and cleaned, but I don't have any NikWax. Has anyone had any success washing waterproof clothing just using soap or a mild, delicates detergent?
