Today I made Cheese Biscuits, They were supposed to be Cheese Scones!

That would be a scone fail!

I will try again tomorrow! Today started off well, we took YD to work this morning then had breakfast out. 

I had the strawberry and yoghurt granola with a capaccino 

lush breakfast. 

a bit of light shopping and then home. 

The dogs had some bones to chew on....

This afternoon I turned my attention to the dinning room cabinet. I love it, its my favourite piece of furniture in the house. It was our wedding present, we asked for vouchers and this is what we bought. We have had it 5 years now and I love it. it gives me so much pleasure and it is stuffed full of lovely things. 

a lovely variety of napkins, place mats, napkin rings and table cloths. 

and nice shiny cutlery. 

In the Sales we treated ourselves to some new glasses. 

We now have matching glasses for 6 people that is not Crystal (it has its place) we now have red wine glasses and white wine glasses, I feel so grown up. 

We had a lovely Christmas present of some amazing tea, with a teapot and cups. So I have cleared a shelf for them. 

How amazing is that!!

the teapot has pride of place in the cabinet.

The frost is hitting the garden and the colour is going. 

My Geraniums are finally being effected by the frost. 

So today was going so well, if you read this weeks posts you would know that I was planning to go to a party tonight! that was before LSP started to feel unwell. so we have shelved our Party plans and have our feet up in front of the sofa. I am watching "Take me out" Its nice no brainer TV an a laugh. 

my nice calm day tomorrow has also been scuppered by the toilet handle breaking. 

So its off to B&Q in the morning and a bit of DIY from LSP, (who has already sorted out a temporary solution) 

Well , I am off to put the kettle on and have a nice cup of tea and a biscuit 

(chocolate not cheese) 

happy weekend x 

What to do today?

Today is a bank holiday so no work! Unfortunately the spaniel does no do lie in's. so I took myself downstairs, sat on the sofa and opened the laptop. It was nice and quiet and calm. I have a list of jobs to do that is a mile long but I just wanted some peace and quiet. LSP woke up enthusiastic and eager to crack on with the day. Job 1, To get all of the decorations into the loft. 


After much grunting and groaning (from me) and a complaint that I over pack the boxes (from LSP) The decorations are in the loft. 


This has now lead onto job number 2. sort out the loft! 


Our Loft is an Oubliette. 


Oubliette is a french word for a dungeon that is only accessible by a hatch in the ceiling. 


For anyone who is a fan of the film the Labyrinth, it is a place to put things to forget them. 


Yes our loft is defiantly a place to put things to forget them. if you were to test me, I could not name everything that was in there! So this is the first big job of the year to tackle the loft. to make it an accessible space where everything is sorted and organised. 


It is a big job! 


I will not be posting any before pictures. 


At some point, (possible March) (its a big loft) I will post the after pictures. 


If it is not beautiful, useful or sentimental. its going. 


The local Charity shops will be the primary benifciaries. with some stuff going to the recycling centre that is of no use to anyone. 


it will not be empty as there is a lot of things that are up there for a reason or purpose. its not all junk. 


I just need to be able to see the wood for the tree's. 


Anyhow. I am going to have another cup of coffee, finish watching the bad film we are watching, change into my scruffs, arm myself with clear bags for the charity shop and black bags for the recycling centre and get to it.
