    I suppose that's the downside of being a cleaner, you can't help but notice when things start to look at bit grubby in your own house ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ!

    The cheesy vegetable pasta bake sounds epic ๐Ÿ˜‹!
    They really do SC and I'm so busy cleaning other people's houses, I can't be bothered to do my own! At least DH is quite good and will do some.

    This was the cheesy vegetable pasta bake ๐Ÿ˜‹

    Thanks Beanie xย 

    I can't wait, SC. It's been a long time coming!

    I have been feeling a little fed up today. Its not been a bad day, its just that with it being so lovely and sunny, we're trapped in the house with the dogs again. I'm longing for a garden that we can all sit out in and enjoy ๐Ÿ˜”

    The rest of the marrow got used up in some more soup. I've cleaned out the bathroom cupboard, binned some bits and then put some other giftsets that we're not going to use in a bag for the thrift shop. I also did the cupboard under the sink and that's nice and tidy now. DH has put some beading down in the bathroom and sealed around that. Been meaning to do it for ages, but just not got round to it, then at work last week they were sorting out some window beading that was no longer needed and so I asked if I could have it. It had already been painted white and has done a smashing job! Looks a lot neater in there now.ย 

    DH is cooking a curry now, it smells delicious and I've just realised how hungry I am ๐Ÿ˜…

    Back to work tomorrow but DH is off as plumber is coming to service the boiler, it was ยฃ60 last year so I'm thinking around the same this year, budgeted for anyway.
