minimammoth they are going in a hessian bag.. make sure none are damaged as that will affect the others, make sure completely dried out (several days or even a week or two for this stage), carefully take the tops off and pop in net/string/airy bag of some description and keep in a cool dry place. Should last you for ages. I am too lazy to string them up! Check the bag carefully from time to time to ensure none are going off.. remove them if showing signs and get those ones used.

I am bagging my shallots today, onions out for drying for a few days, then they will be bagged too....

Morning!

I'm feeling better today. I seem to have gone off drinking the last few days, so I'm having to make myself.

Getting stressed about the weekend, but the best way to counter that is to get things done off the list!

Mini, can you get hold of cedarwood items? They're supposed to send the moths scurrying.

Morning everyone- I dip in and out of this thread but am trying to be more organised and at least WRITE a list!
My mum has been ill and can't drive still yet so I have been playing chauffeur to my parents the past 3 weeks while my sister sits and refuses to help!! But hey ho!

Things are calmer this week as not so many Dr/Hosp appts etc.

Anyway here is my list:

Up washed and dressed done
Beds made done
Laundry on and hung out done
Feed dogs done
Drop ED at b/friends done
Clean kitchen
Hoover and dust living room
Clean bathrooms.
Mop floors.
Take DS to gym-club (to wear him out!!)
Do ironing
Prep dinner
Water plants and pick tomatoes.
Tidy playroom (this is ongoing- I tidy it Ds trashes plays in it!)
Slimming club with friends- we have set up our own!

That will do for today!!

Sympathies kansasmum.
Thanks for the tips anonybird will dry them out a bit longer only pulled yesterday.
Wasting I have got cedar balls, hanger things and smelly paper sheets. Have put the cedar balls amongst stuff in the bookcase whcih might be why they are clear now, so will dot some around area in bedroom. I have also discovered that Tansy flowers repel flies and moths, so I have brought in a 'bouquet'from the garden to test it out. Might put some in bedroom.

I have some cake if anyone would like some. Victoria sponge with buttercream and fresh strawberries - very good!

Rushed back from friends to get here for 12 (well, 12.05) and the bloody plumber is still not here DD got to feed my friend's ducks, see her geese, brush and ride her shetland pony and have a general run around so very happy but a bit knackered bless her. DD needs her own little pony.

minimammoth I should have added that you can take the tops off once they have dried a bit, then leave them "topless" to ensure the cut tops are also dried out before bagging...

Please send cake Alice, thank you.

Excitement here as the first tomato is turning ever so slightly red-ish.
Wasting now about those baby bel cases, c'mon prod prod.
JKS good luck with shower.am impressed with Viakal after toilet grime last week.

JKS there is I had a good housekeeping calander (a present from aussie friends, every christmass is an odd surprise) and remember reading something about it, bet you Martha will have an answer

Well I have got loads done today but don't think much was actually on my list

all ironing is done
hoovering
shower doors clean (flash does my job)
dcs beds done

AND I went to doctors and seen nurse,
she did going to do full bloods, the words early & menopause were used in the same sentence, but tbh she didn't ask me was I sure I wasn't pg or had I tested so I will just wait for Thursday/Friday for results, had slight stain last night(TMI) but nothing sense

Freak who are you going to wedding with???? Where are dcs going to be? new undies [nudge][nudge]

JKS I hear you needed some advice

Oh I just remembered you can get a tub of this abrasive cream stuff for cleaning ovens, tiles etfc and I have used that on my chower doors too

Freak - I am mainly although the lower carb dinner routine has stuck because DH is still low-carbing (apart from tonight when we have had Dominos ). I definitely still eat loads less carbs than I did before though, scales are still heading downwards slowly slowly, 15.5lbs lost now.
And yes - new undies??

JKS - that sounds like a fab day I think my shower screen is a lost cause too, I have tried everything. We have got such hard water here it is crazy, we installed a filter in the kitchen sink when we had the new kitchen a couple of years ago because otherwise we were having to descale the kettle twice a week. I would love a new shower screen but it is curved to fit our bulgy bath and a new one is ££££ and there are too many other things ahead of that in the money queue just now! I use Cif Active Bathroom Spray twice a week and e-cloth every time I'm in the shower which does keep it ok-ish.

Plum - I didn't realise you hadn't done a PG test!

anonymousbird - that cold wine sounds good

Wasting you are moany but that is allowed, especially seeing as you are poorly. Can you have an early night?

Mini - I am jealous, all our tomatoes are resolutely green. We will have none left to go red though, DS keeps picking them and having a hopeful nibble

DS is still awake He fell and banged his head on a side table earlier, he's going to have a cracking egg and bruise in the morning. He has also got a really gunky eye and is very grumpy, Drs tomorrow I think. He really needs to be asleep but is looking at pictures of cars on DH's laptop with DH
