    Winter woolies packed up and stored away. Fan retrieved from the loft.

    Regular flying certainly helps to free up time for tinkering tasks. I re-organised the sideboard today and discovered that I have more than enough candles, wax melts and tea lights to last me through the summer. I've cleaned up the wax melter and it's ready to light tonight. My hand and purse can move away from my favourite on-line candle store 😇

    Washing on the line which is probably already dry.

    Today I stripped the bed and left it to air. Put the bedding and towels on to wash.

    I then went to my parents for my mum to help me with my budget book and so I could give them the banana bread I made. Mum will have to hide it though or my Dad will happily eat the lot! I've probably said before but due to his brain damage etc he can be like a naughty little school boy.

    I ended up staying there for a few hours. I think my Mum enjoys having some conversation that's not hard work. We had quite a giggle.

    When I came home I put the bedding etc in the TD and made up some over-night porridge oats for the fridge. I then make the 2nd banana bread, cant make the 3rd as the last bananas were to far gone. While that was baking I had a quick coffee. Once the bread was done and the TD had finished I put the washing away and remade the bed with my summer duvet. The winter one is now bagged up ready to take to the laundrette.

    I made sausage casserole for dinner and boxed up the extras for the freezer.

    I'm now going to write a list of jobs I need to get done tomorrow so I don't forget.
