    Morning

    Thank you for al lthe lsits.

    Been cracking on this morning, as I was expecting workmen at 9am

    Get a text at 8.50am to say 'been held up with weather over weekend will be with you tomorrow' and yes the weather was very bad this weekend here

    My green house door blew off, so I've picked up the smashed glass, so the cat doesn't cut his paws, he came to see what I was up to, and cut his nose instead, !!

    Wm x loads is on and a great heap sat in front of it for washing.
    Whole house is hoovered, bagless thingy cleaned
    Bins all done rubbish out
    Food shopping done and away
    Car taken for service, walked back from town.

    Might make a pear and apple crumble in a bit

    Morning all :)

    Welcome madamoiselle xx

    Thanks for the lists, ladies, I'm here but following my own. Just sat with a coffee after chopping all manner of things for slow cooker Christmas chutney.

    My plan today is to clean up after my mess, get the leftover bits in the compost bin, put green stuff on the lawn then dot to dot my way around the house.

    If I have time I might shut my eyes later :p

    I'm off-liste again this week, as much time/energy is being taken up looking after the delectable Bluebell. :o
    However, pizza dough has been made, bread will be shortly, and Mr LW has been harangued into emptying the compost caddy on the drainer into the compost bin in the garden, and washing it out.

    I'd hoped one of us would be able to cut the front lawn today (back has already been done) but it's raining again, so I guess the grass and the hawkweed will just have to grow a little taller.
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    MOre sorting done, a draw that would hardly close, now closes with ease.

    Piggers, you enjoy your time, if everyone is out or sleeping, you don't get that every often.......

    Sort of sunny here, I am also haveing a test run of the central heating to check it works, all so far seems ok, cross fingers!

    Downstairs not looking too shabby ;) also greened the lawn, chopped at some shrubs and sorted the gone-over lilies.

    Kids collected , missing lunch box retrieved, DD strop narrowly averted and she has been snacked and watered :eek: methinks she needs an early night ;)

    Can't seem to find all my kilner jars - oops - can you freeze chutney? I may have to...

    No more jobs tonight other than food and its related mess. Crispy chicken pasta for us. Well, for them. I might have something different... Involving mushy peas - since I checked my store cupboard and I have seven tins lol

    Whole house smells like vinegar...
