Hi, I am back again for this week. Didn't manage to get on line again yestaerday as out internet connection keeps on going off. But I did get loads done.
shell2001, I hope your DD is better soon. I had a seventeen year old moping on the sofa yesterday. There are definitely some tummy bugs going around.

hugs cha97michelle,while little one is asleep you should take some time for yourself to rest. Then you can have a bit more energy for DS1 and for feeding. Leave the ironing for MIL if you can!

My own list for today

• Sort out passport applications
• Weed for 15 minutes am and 15 minutes pm
• sweep hall and stairs
• clean downstairs loos
• Put DSs clothes away or maybe out of the window, haven't decided yet!
• Research heating systems for barn
• 30 minutes accounts for tax return
• Sort out more things for e bay
• Order paint for lounge
• Re write menu plan for month as running out of food rapidly
• bake bread
• air yesterday's laundry
• wash lounge winter curtains before storing
• clean front porch
• sort paperwork 15 minutes
• read Martins' pages on wedding planning on a budget
• Cancel SKY TV after tomorrows game
• Ring brother in Australia
• Use my mobile for all calls as only used 120 out of 400 minutes available!!
• Physio at 2pm

Not me, I don't have a MIL. I have a note from my physio saying I am not allowed to iron!! We are the crumpled household.

I keep forgetting you dont have a telly! OK, the Duchess of York goes to Hull to advise a family of 6 on how to eat healthily on a budget on £80 per week (in one of the most deprived estates in the area, the programme's words, not mine). Last night was mostly the Duchess 'fact finding.' Tonight is when they start to change their diet. I thought she came over very well and despite the fact she has never been in a supermarket (!!!!!!???), I think tonight will be interesting. And it wasnt all about money. Grandad would give them veggies from his allotment, but they just didnt like veg, so didnt eat any. I reckon she'll get them to cut down/stop smoking and use the extra money to supplement the food budget.

My only critism would be, while the Duchess is very experienced with eating/weight loss, I'm not sure how qualified she is on how to deal with a small budget. I think Sammy Kaye (or another OS-er) should be given a show instead

Oh right.. I have a vague recollection of seeing it in my mtohers paper.. She has invited said family to tea at her house.. lol.. that would be more interesting!! .. oh to be a fly!
