    Seem to have been racing about all day! Dog walk first thing, then had to go and pick up something from the shop where I rent a space as it had sold on Marketplace, then DD turned up with kids. GD wanted chocolate cake, so I made one of those while she went to her swimming lesson. While it cooled down, little GS 'helped' me to plant some broad been seeds in pots, then 'helped' me to decorate the cake. He is an outstanding bowl licker I must say :D
    Some cake eaten when the swimmers returned.
    Man turned up to pick up the item that had sold on Marketplace. Someone else is supposed to be coming a bit later for another item.
    DD and kids have just left with the rest of the chocolate cake, and I have flopped into a chair.
    OH is doing dinner tonight!

    Morning all

    Well I have been a wake since 4:30 due to my DS so I'm feeling very tried, so not sure what I will get done to day

    I have/will do:
    Check on line bank
    Post parcels - sold a bundle of 5 items yesterday so that's more stuff leaving the house
    Put washer on
    Try to stick to the list when we go to the Range
    Try and do some crafting

    Hope everyone has a good Sunday

    Morning all :)
    Windy and rainy this morning, so no Sunday market for us.
    Managed to walk the dog between rain
    Heating is on, as it is cold and miserable without - roll on spring!
    Got some mince out of the freezer to cook a batch of something.
    There are also sausages out, so may make a sausage casserole as well.
    Booked a shopping delivery from Icyland. They are nearly as cheap as Lidl but tend to stock things that Lidl don't have. I will need to buy fruit and veg separately at Mr S, or Waitr*se, as they aren't great for most of these items. Not arriving till Tuesday so I have a while to edit or add to the order.
    Nothing much else planned apart from keeping warm and dry.

    Afternoon @DawnW

    Wet and windy here also! I ordered some seeds Friday so hopefully get them soon!

    We're off to the cinema this evening and then having some food. My hair dye is also coming today via amazon. I plan on doing a split dye again I'm so excited. This is how my last one turned out!
