Day 39

Today we all got up late... not because of the clocks going back or forward or whatever they did..., but just because DH didn't set the alarm right. We were still up at 3am or 4am whatever you want to call it waiting for our rubbish DAB radio to update itself to the new British Summertime. Well it didn't, so we set it earlier than we needed, but DH forgot to press some button or other. You need a degree in electronic engineering to work the thing out. I was a DAB radio that has buttons to set the time MANUAL!!! I can see why my Mum despairs of new technology. If it ain't broke, we really really don't need to fix it do we. *sighs*

I have grand plans for today.

1.)I want to change DS's light in his bedroom to one of those globe things. We bought the globe thing about 6 months ago and it has sat, out of its box, screws and all, on the landing window sill since then.

2.)I want to finish sorting the garden out where:-
a.)it has no lawn - sow grass seed.
b.)it has a pile of old fence panels and junk - dump it.
c.)the gazebo has collapsed under hundredweight of vines - search, chop and destroy.
d.)the kittens can't use the cat flap - erect a plank for them to run up to get back in the house.

3.)Tidy my WHOLE house

4.)List 4,000,000 items on eBay that we don't use and are currently filling my sons cupboards and the entire 3rd bedroom and BOTH of my washing baskets!!!!!!!

I also have to take it easy, because my port problem is still aggravating me.

Yeah, I don't think its going to happen. However, I don't think any of the rest will get done either considering my DH's past track record with jobs around the home. He has probably got a crisis with the computer... again - most odd, but it normally happens when there's work to be done. Strange huh?

So its most likely up to me to do it all again. :o(

Oh, and I am REALLY excited about tomorrows weigh in!!! YEAH BRING IT ON!

Update,
We did get the house clean at least. Every room has been cleaned except the spare room, which is still full of eBayable material. I managed to vacuum upstairs and was just about to give the corners a good scraping with the nozzely bit when it blew up. Great. Need a new vacuum cleaner.

We also got DS's light fixed. I am no longer worried about him hanging himself by the light cord, or getting tangled in it whilst in bed and electrocuting himself. Phew. Now its just a nice globe on the ceiling. If it was in the middle of the room it wouldn't have been a problem. Why do builders put ceiling roses off centre??? WHY? I simply don't get it.

This evening, I made one of those "Whats in the cupboard that I can throw together meals"
This is a MILESTONE. I have NOT been able to do this since the operation. My imagination is obviously returning.

I had an our of date packet of Mexican seasoning. Put it in a pan of water and boiled it with some soya chunks for my newly Vegan son (see the next post after this one!!!). then i fried some onion and 3 chopped garlic cloves in a little olive oil and then threw on some frozen roasted veg I had left over, a can of lentils and a can of chick peas. mixed it all about and decided a bit of frozen spinach would give it some colour and then bunged the pan of Mexican soya stuff in on top. I boiled it for a bit. I was reading a Friends live journal, so it was a while, and it had reduced, so I put about half a carton of passata in with it too, which made it really yummy looking.

Served it up and it went down a treat. If I was on slimming world, this would have been a really good meal. Lets hope so!

Weigh in tomorrow. YAYAYAYAYAYAY
