Things can only get better

The gin sounded delicious SA. How nice to have such a great pub close by. I'm with you on the pub and kids - maybe I'm old -fashioned but pubs are for adults. Things can also kick off in pubs so why expose your children to that?:mad:

Oh dear about the pester list. Sometimes I think a good Xmas present for Mr SA would be trip round a shopping mall with a personal shopper! On the proviso he as to give everything back at the end of it!:D

Enjoy the rest of your weekend SA.

You’rehaving a run of rubbish luck. Hopefully the cooker will end your run. Have you got a day out planned before Christmas?

Another weekend whizzed past, blink and you miss it!

I haven't stopped all day today. Took the dog out this morning, took her back home then off I went to Aldi, was a good part of the way there when I realised I didn't have my purse with me Had to go back to fetch it, although should've left it behind as I somehow managed to spend £68 in there :eek: However got loads of stuff for Christmas plus a lovely warm mattress topper. I had to phone Mr SA to meet me on his scooter as I couldn't carry it back. Toying with buying a shopping trolley for my Aldi trips.

After lunch sorted out Mr SA's wardrobe and he discovered loads of clothes he'd forgotten about! I will admit he does need a few bits though but not as much as he thinks.

Then cleaned the oven, taking advantage of it being out of action. The racks had been soaking overnight in a bag with oven cleaner.

Then cleaned the whole house as I didn't get time yesterday.

Then took the dog out again.

Then did the ironing.

Thankfully I have a soup maker so managed to make my favourite butternut squash, chickpea and lime soup for work lunches. Did Mr SA a steak in the slow cooker and his potatoes and veg in the steamer. I had a Thai veg curry thing from Mr S, microwave meal.

So we've survived the oven free weekend - just! Hopefully it'll be up and running again tomorrow.

I'm shattered right now, can't believe how busy today's been.

Only a 4 day working week as I'm off on Friday, pottering round town in the morning then meeting retired friends for lunch, looking forward to it

Hope everyone has had a good day

So why is it Saturday night I'm fast asleep before 9pm and Sunday I'm still awake? Typical!

Sun_Addict

That's Monday done

Only just managed to sit down - I'm shattered!

Oven is back up and running again, unbelievably it worked fine for the repair bloke, didn't blow the fuse. He gave the fan a good clean though and emphasised the importance of running the grill to burn off grease. I must remember to do this regularly or it's going to break down again.

Dentist after work today, almost forgot. Just a check up, all ok, that's it for 6 months.

Feet up for half an hour now with an alcohol free beer, then must have an early night - yawn.

Alcohol free beer sounds good - you deserve an early night after your whirlwind Sunday.
