    Hello all :)
    With you on the accidental biscuits @katy_ann :D 
    Well done on the debt repayments @rigarella :) 
    Today I have / will:
    Dog walk first thing
    Home grown berries for breakfast - autumn raspberries are nearly over now, sadly. But I do have quite a lot in the freezer.
    Cleared up conservatory after OH fixed and painted some plasterboarding that had been left by the conservatory company
    Tied up massive chilli plants and put 2 of them back in the conservatory - the other one is now living at the end of my (big) dining table for now.
    Made some soup, too late for lunch today, but will do for tomorrow.
    Shopping at Lidl after work. Not a big list, as I am trying to get through the freezer contents.
    Dinner will be lots of bits from the fridge to make the equivalent of a big fried breakfast (though most will be grilled!). And there is a bit of apple crumble left for pudding :)

    Morning all :)
    I have a dental hygienist appointment today in the next town, so definitely not a NSD today!
    Can't think of anything else I need to spend on though, apart from the car park.
    Dog walked
    Load of washing done and out on the line (though it looks as though it will rain at some point)
    Postal survey stuff done.
    Raspberries picked. Also tied them back to the fence a bit, as they are overhanging the path and catching on the washing.
    Will need to head off shortly.
