    Quiet day yesterday and another quiet day planned today.  I wasn't on plan yesterday but will get back to it today.  I've done a workout, and my legs are now all wobbly so it must have been a good one :D  

    I'm going to make a huge batch of soup in the slow cooker today.  I was moaning last week that it was too big, but I can actually use it for this as I don't have any  big pans otherwise.  It will be a recipe that I got from on here years ago, and I remember the last time I made it I struggled to find a big enough pan.

    Little miss has an appointment for the results of her ASD assessment next month.  I might see if I can take the day off.

    I discovered that octopus do a charging app which covers many of the brands, so I have signed up to that and ordered the card.  Hopefully that will help solve the millions of different app issues!  We still haven't decided whether we will take mine or DH's when we go to Cornwall.

    Is that the SW "trumpy" soup you're planning on making?  I know that needs a huge pan as there is so much of it.  Have to admit I've never made it - the thought of all those beans!

    Yes :D  I had to tweak it as I didn't have everything.  It's only got one tin of beans in it, and also some lentils.  But it does have loads of veg in it, and smells nice!

    Not much to report today.  I've been into the office and walked in and home via school with little miss, so I've done a nice lot of steps today.  Also took lunch so MSE and on plan as well.

    DH actually cleared some items from the front room yesterday, so that's some progress at long last!

    Today I have cleaned house, done 2 lots of washing, cleaned car and took it for its MOT, thankfully it passed. Came home, ironed a pile of clothes just done the tea and cleaned up after that. My DH has felt the need to let me know that he cleaned the oven door whilst I was out as it was abit greasy. I think he wanted me to give him a gold star or something but thankfully he backed away when he saw the look I gave him. X

    That sounds very similar to here :D:D 

    Glad your car passed MOT!
