Where on earth is all the mess most peeps have on their surfaces???...did you hide it all ?


or- am I the only slob???

You took the words right out of my mouth Nicos, I bet Hazel had a quick tidy up before she took the pic! Notice you don't get to see the other side of the kitchen!

[Bren In Pots]

I try to keep the kitchen looking tidy but I keep my push bike in there so its a losing battle

[veggiechicken]

Kettle's on! Bed changing, washing, bathroom cleaning, polishing all going on here, so just time for a quick one.

You're wrong, Jay; Hazel is a domestic goddess. I bet you could eat a meal off her kitchen floor You can off mine too ......... all the crumbs and bits of food that somehow miss the plate Fortunately, I have doghoovers

[Hazel at the Hill]

Can't stand a load of clutter on kitchen worktops.

I doesn't look like that when I'm cooking - it's great to have the luxury of moving along a bit to the next bit of clean worktop when the current bit is messed up, but it means a grand tidy and clean up at the end of the session.

Talking of which, I thought to bake a Swiss Roll and have another go with the stencil that my big sis gave me for my birthday - she's stopping at mum's this weekend so it would be nice to give her a piece when she calls in tomorrow.

Evening all...
Well I survived... Great night last night, and managed to make it thru a day of shopping with the kids... They had a great day too..
Back home now, and looking forward to some relaxing time with a glass of red...

[Jeanied]

I wasn't kidding about stacking stuff up ...

[Jay22]

What a lovely photo Jeanied...even brought a smile to my sons dour face...once in a lifetime occurrence.

Went to buy a Christmas tree today...none left! Going to be a pretty dull house this year!

[Glutton4...]

No Christmad trees left in Scotland!? Yeah. Right.

Nutter!

I hope that this is really not the case, Jay, as I will not be purchasing a tree until next weekend. We don't do putting up the decs until the weekend before Christmas in our family.

Mind you, I have 'tested' the lights by putting them up in the kitchen; and then got a bit over excited having plastered all the windows with snowflake cling thingies. You get 18 in a pack at �land, and I splashed out on two packs - the mirror over the mantlepiece is now snow-flaked as well as all the downstairs windows.

Had to take myself in hand when I was contemplating investing another � for a pack to do upstairs. Like the attic room cares about the festivities, or something.

[Hazel at the Hill]

Sorry - where are my manners - evening all!

Been to Cheap Pub tonight, and am waiting for the kettle to boil for a cup of tea nightcap.

Might have a slice of choc swiss roll that I made earlier - made it in the wrong tin (too big), the consequence being that the sponge mixture was spread so thin it virtually disintegrated when I went to roll it up, and it it looooooooong and thiiiiin. The buttercream filling glues it all together. Not y finest baking hour, by any stretch.

Prob. taste nice though.

[Nicos]

Sounds yummy to me Hazel!

Just trying to get warm again after being outside!...my warm duvet awaits!

[Hazel at the Hill]

Nos da, Nicos.

Saturday is bed change day so I'm looking forward to a new bed too when I've made the tea.

Not much nicer than a new bed; or a hot bath.

[Thelma Sanders]

Morning all!
Really cold and frosty this morning, the kind of frost that makes the branches white as well Brr!
Have woken up with an ankle that thinks it's frozen solid as well - what's that all about ??

On 2nd cuppa and porridge in the microwave, that should warm me up

[veggiechicken]

Happy Sunday, Grapeworld
Its a balmy 6.8 here or is that barmy? A bit of overnight rain.
All is well in Puppyland - I think their eyes are opening 'cos some are winking at me
Hope your foot thaws out soon Thelma. Standing in a bowl of porridge should do the trick!
