    I just went and did some housework and thought I'd done OK until I came and looked at the list and realised I'd done very little of it! Oh well, will quickly sweep the floor in the lounge and hall before I set off for DS later.

    WM x 2 - one on line
    TD x 1 (towels - they go too stiff on the line)
    Folded and put away clothes from yesterday''s wash
    S&S loo and sink
    Bread dough made for 2 loaves Just came into the lounge where I had it rising in a sunny spot to see some rather incriminating hand prints deeply embedded in it. Wonder who that could be . . .?

    DH phoned a few minutes ago - we are now friends again! He said it's been difficult keeping quiet since Saturday afternoon :rotfl:

    Right, just off to sweep floor then set up the ironing board so I can iron while Doctors is on :D

    Not doing to badly today. Had to do the kids rooms as DH is at home and taking up space in the living room and DD is off school and is now dying on the sofa in the family room.
    Changed, washed and dried the bed linen. Vacuumed, wiped down the paintwork, tidied toys, remade beds and dusted.
    Pastry made for minced beef and onion pie tonight. Might make some jam tarts if there is any left.
    Made an easter bonnet with DD whilst she was on a Nurofen high.
    Cuppa next then drag DD to the doctors and nip into Tesco for supplies.
    Will then make pie after picking DS up from school.

    I just bought a breadmaker:D Have been wanting one for ages but didnt want to spend £100, Mr T's have a reduced one for £25;) Its an own brand one, but it mentions Panasonic in the description, so kinda hoping they made it:o

    http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.203-4857.aspx

    This is it, please tell me i havent just wasted my money! Interestingly enough, reading the blurb on this and then the one on the panny, they read almost exactly the same. Or is that wishful thinking...




    I saw that online so went into my local Tesco to take a look - it's definitely NOT a panasonic in any way shape or form!!

    Phoned HO and they agreed that the wrong 'blurb' is on the website and that they would change it but as this was 2 weeks ago now I don't think they're that bothered!
