  • As suspected - not a nsd. However, I made my tutoring money and also did the weekly shop (only £38 this week), fuelled the car and washed it ready for the new school year.
    Most of the house jobs are done - need to get the kids to do their bit before my cleaner comes tomorrow. I just need to get myself ready to go back - sort something to wear, go in the shower etc. I've set my alarm for tomorrow - however no kids in school until Wednesday so hopefully that will be a nicer return, particularly as my department results are actually quite good so we won't get too much of a hard time.
    My mam used to do all of the Sunday lunch veggies in a pressure cooker when I was a kid. I have one, but those of you that know me will also know I have not dared use it. When I overcome my jam and chutney phobia I'll put that next on the list. :rotfl:

    ha ha it went fine - I made a batch of spicy lentil soup - amazing you don't even need to blend it afterwards! And a chicken casserole for tea. Very pleased! Once I let go of the fear it was going to explode! :rotfl:
