Busy Tuesdays

Tuesdays are always busy for me because little bear finishes school late and then she has Karate in the evening, so I have to fetch her from school, do tea, and take her to karate all in the space of two hours which is no easy task. Little bear is doing her next belt next week so she is really excited about that.

Wheelie is grumbling because his bod won't let him do what he wants to do and its mid October and he wants to get on and do this years Christmas Cake, his Christmas Cakes tend to way about thirteen pounds, we still have a bit of last years left. The reason they survive so long is because of the amount of brandy he puts into them, they are really nice, but they have to be made now so that they are matured enough for Christmas.

Hubby makes chutneys every year for Christmas and is scouring the net for receipies more than he has got until a few days ago. My dad has got a glut of tomatoes, which he doesn't think he will get ripe in time before all the sun goes. So hubby wants to make some green tomato chutney, does anyone know of a good receipie.

I have been getting a few things sorted out in the house, I am still sorting out the main bedroom, the idea being that if I can get it tidied out, I can get round to sorting out some storage space and some flooring. Of course its a bit like the Chicken and the Egg, without the storage its difficuilt to tidy it out, but until I tidy it out there is no room to move to put in the carpet etc or put the storage. So I feel a bit like I am going round in circles.

Hubby and Oldest son sorted out a computer for him in his room so that the family computer can be moved downstairs and out of the main bedroom so that gives me a bit more room to get organised.

Anyway will sign off now as am absolutely bushed.
