When we were packing to go to Beorgwic back in October we found ourselves short one bag of Viking clothing. Caitlin’s dresses and Tom’s tunic and pants were nowhere to be found. We searched the house from top to bottom … Continue reading Put them in a safe place…
Hosted by Mrs4444. It’s been a while since I did a Friday Fragments post and I’ve missed them! So here I am back again with the bits and pieces that have been rattling around in my head just waiting to … Continue reading Friday Fragments
You know that cupboard that you just throw things in that don’t really have a home elsewhere? The one where nothing stacks neatly and you can never find anything in it? No, not the Tupperware cupboard…what? You mean there’s not … Continue reading Kitchen cupboards of DOOOOOM!
Today was Wacky Hair Day at the school. A gold coin donation is collected for something or other, I forget what and the kids couldn’t remember either, I guess the excitement of silly hairdo competitions and not having to wear … Continue reading Monday miscellany and menu plan
I had a fabulous time on Friday night, eating, drinking and talking into the wee small hours with good friends. Thanks to Toni for having us at her house, to Ariane for yummy pumpkin and potato and leek soups and … Continue reading Election Day bits and bobs
Hosted by Mrs4444. Time for the end of week mental declutter that is Friday Fragments. Let’s see what’s floating about in here shall we? **** I did my 6th Kiva loan this week, which apparently makes me an average Kiva lender. Must do better. I’m going to stop buying Macca’s coffee on work mornings and instead do a Kiva loan each month. There’s a perfectly good coffee machine at work anyway. **** The church notice board that I was venting about on Thursday last week has gone from offensive to merely bemusing. It now reads “Without God the world is … Continue reading Friday Fragments
This post title brought to you by half a bottle of St Hallett GST (Grenache-Shiraz-Touriga) and far too little sleep. Lounge room corner the second. This one I get to blame the kids for. Mostly. *waves magic wand* (Also known as getting the husband to do most of the work because he’s the one that poured that last glass of wine for me.) G’night all! Continue reading Bog plost
The other half of the cupboards under the stove top, mostly Tupperware and Corning Ware, and the Christmas dinner service tucked away in the corner cupboard down beside the dishwasher. I pulled pretty much everything out, matched lids with containers and put it all back again. What I really should do is cull, there are things in there, and in the other Tupperware cupboard, that I haven’t used in years Before After Also, my kitchen is even cleaner and tidier now than it was at the end of Saturday’s effort. So much so that when my Dad arrived for dinner … Continue reading Declutter of the day
The only downside to having moved the computers behind a locked door is that the kids can no longer get up on a weekend morning, go online, and leave us undisturbed till mid to late morning. Both the boys visited us in our bedroom before 8am. Haven’t had to deal with that other than on birthdays for many years. And here we have another exciting adventure in the battle against the clutter monster. Actually, I’m not sure this counts as a clutter problem so much as an OMG! My kitchen has exploded! problem. Adam has been working on the clutter … Continue reading Saturday should be for slumber
Answer the door in your pjs and dressing gown with your hair doing its best Shepherd Book “Too much hair!” impression. Shepherd Book in the Firely episode Jaynestown. They barely managed to hang around long enough to say “Home Bible study…?” before they bolted next door. I didn’t even find out which variety they were! I’ve started on the lounge room, I figure one corner at a time is the way to go. I’ll try not to end up after the 4th corner with one huge pile of crap in the middle. That would be bad because then we wouldn’t … Continue reading How to make door-knocking God-botherers run away.
