Morning Ladies

Kids are at home today...school INSET day.
I'm hoping the rain will hold off today. We can maybe actually get out the house! The Guinea Pigs need cleaning out too...haven't actually managed to do it because of all the rain!

Kids Sports Day is on wednesday....I really wish we could actually start our summer sometime soon

Well no list as such, as I need to keep the kids occupied again today....

Aufish · 02/07/2007 09:48

good morning everybody have had a grand total of 2 and half hours sleep last night and I am shattered. Finally got to sleep at 3am and then woke up at 5am.

Have though managed to 2 lots of washing, so there might be a good thing! not sure though.

My to do list:

Coffee, Coffee, Coffee!
Hoover dust and sweep
put away the washing
more washing and drying
wash up and dry up the breakfast dishes
general tidy up as we have a friend coming to stay tomorrow for a couple of days
hoover up upstairs and general tidy up
clean bathrooms

Most probably something else that will be in there that I will do but at the moment the head is not working.

EHM · 02/07/2007 09:50

aufish hope you put a sleep & some rest onto your list. Poor you, you are naking me >

Aufish · 02/07/2007 09:51

See what I mean the head is definitely not working, I've put that I've had 2 and half hours kip but it was actually 2 hours kip!

julezboo · 02/07/2007 10:12

He let us have about half the catch too so it's a fishy tea tonight.

Fed up of it raining now

Hope you're all well

EHM · 02/07/2007 11:52

Julz you are organised for your ds, very impressed.
aufish you re doing well with your list especially given the lack of sleep.
madwelshwomenhope you bathroom looks nice.

Well I've done naff all since my last post except. Had a long bath, decided to bring Ellie in with me we had lots of fun loads of bubbles. We both smell all baby like & clean. Ellie is dressed for the 2nd time today & i am dressed. It peeing down again, I know I shouldn't complain because there are people who are flooded. Will it ever stop!

Washing basket is empty until later today. Clothes drying through out the house just of the off chance the sun may come out later.

Right off to prepare lunch & decide what to do for tea tonight. Lots of food not eaten/cooked from the weekend. Any suggestions for the following.

Mixed bag of peppers, 6 large flat mushrooms, spring onions, tomatoes, potatoes, selection of cheeses, chicken fillets.

Catch you later.x.x

EHM · 02/07/2007 11:54

Hi grouchy x post. Both Ellie & I are fine(she still has a horrible cough, but she's on the mend) Thanks for asking.
Fresh fish thats sounds fab, you are clever making fish stock. I won't let my cats see your post or they will want to come round for tea if there are scraps going
Hope you & Ed are both well?

grouchyoscar · 02/07/2007 11:58

EHM...make a pepperonata with the red and yellow peppers

Stuff the mushrroms with Garlic butter, fry them off and stuff them in a bun like a burger

Just pan fry the chicken, serve with pepperonata and spuds

God I'm dead hungry now

Chicken and mushrooms with peppers

grouchyoscar · 02/07/2007 12:07

We are very well EHM Thanks. I've got my 6 month hell behind me now so it's onwards and upwards now.

Kiddy coughs seem to take ages to clear. Hope Ellie's leaves soon.

Fish stock is easy..fish trimmings and water, couple of garlic cloves, some bay leaves (which are taking over the herb patch) and a few peppercorns. Boil for 20 mins, strain off the bones etc and....Fish stock (apologies to any foodies watching) It tastes OK so I'll freeze it for use later Any suggestions for what I can do with it gratefully received.

julezboo · 02/07/2007 13:05
