Morning all

Lilo - sending babydust your way by the bucket full sweetie:D
Embb - thank you for thinking of me. I feel much better today. Sounds like a plan on the dog front.
Kaz - Have a hug hun! Have you taken anything for your headache (though I am sure once you are away from the stressful situation it will disappear)
Rach - Have a FAB birthday:beer:

Well usual morning routines of getting everyone ready, fed, washed and to school/nursery on time done.

Came home and have missed the postman by 10 mins they had a parcel for me, am guessing it is the ballet stuff. Not sure whether to pop and collect it later or get them to delivery it tomorrow. In-laws coming over on Sunday so DH can take DD2 to a birthday party (I am at work) so need to think of something I can bung in the slow cooker to feed them all for tea.

House looks pretty good, littles room tidy so just needs a dust and daily hoover (so love being in a bungalow:D ).

Am off to have my bowl of crunchy nuts and a cuppa and then crack on maybe half an hour ironing too!

Right brekkie done, hmm, strolling through it means not much time to do the rest. I have ordered myself one of those silicone baking sets from Argos however, wondered what on earth to buy with the gift card I got but that's sorted it, just what I needed

embb I did this for the first time with a great big bag of Christmas sprouts.

Just prepped them as usual, threw in a pan of hot water for a couple of minutes, then cooled them straight away. I lay them all out on a tray and put in the freezer, and then when frozen, stuck them in a sandwich bag - freezing them separately stops them sticking together, and I just grab a handful when I'm doing veg.

I'm still here - move dusty you can do it. I have been on the tax website though so have done something on my list.

Pigpen I need cheering up please post a picture. My kids rooms aren't bad after the time I took last week. Still can't work out how to put pictures on the thread - can't to the link option as I don't upload mine anywhere.
