Desk De-cluttering

Well the desk was clear!

I worked really hard at clearing my desk so that I start work on my course when it arrived and indeed later that day it did arrive!

Now I have tidyied up downtairs and all the stuff which was down stairs is now on my desk ARGH!!!!!!!!

On the reusable Nappy front! We are doing quite well I have cracked during the day still working on night time Master A sleeps for about 12 hours some nights so I think I just need to put some more booster pads in the nappies!

When the Children are back at school I will have a go at doing some mini reviews so let you all know which ones I personally think are the best!

5 Things must go!

Right the sun is shinning and I need to start the de-cluttering process around my desk again so that I can have room to work when my Course material comes so I can start working!

1) Reusable Nappies which I orginally got from freecycle which weren't much good are going to be passed on ( already posted on freegle)

2) Have decided to sell some of my Cross stich books as I no longer use them very much

3), 4), 5) I am still to find these but with the amout of junk on my desk this will not be hard!

Photos of scrummy's

Well as promised before they were all eaten I managed to take some photos of the goodies I made for Easter.


The first Pic is of the yummy gorgeous choc Orange Cake which is suitable for people who are Coeliac and dairy intolerant! I will post the recipe if anybody wants it!





These are the rice krispy cakes that Master A helped me make.





I had bought some rather cheap rice krispy type cereal that the children decided tasted like cardboard so add chocolate, some Golden Syrup and mini eggs to finish and rather than have food end up in the food waste container! We had Easter Egg cakes to be given as small after lunch presents

Baking Day!

So far to day I have made:-

3 Pizza bases
2 Choc Oranges Cake ( 1st one I made yesterday was a bit flat)
13 Easter Rice Krispe cake (with Cheap Rice Krispeys that the kids didn't like)
6 Easter shaped cakes with my new tray from Lidl's
and
9 Cup Cakes made with the recipe from my new cupcake book



Just have to ice them and I like I will make Lemon icing for them!

The Real Nappy Project

You know that post I did this morning about trying real nappies again!

Well by a great coincidence I had a phonecall from the lovely Hettie at the Real Nappy Project.

Saying that she was going to drop my loan kit round I say mine but of course it is Baby's B.

Baby B is now the proud borrower of a wonderful set of Real nappies, nappy buckets, wraps and reusable wipes!


The Real Nappy Project has loaned us a big pack of goodies so that we can try and reduce the amount of rubbish going into landfill even further!

The best laid plans of Mice and Men.............

Well I had all these wonderful plans about putting baby B into reuseable nappies when we came back from our weekend in London!

Well we came back and I ended up with a cold, then flu and my body just didn't want to play or well! Try again when the weather gets better and my body decides it likes the warer weather.

On the bin front we DID IT! HOORAY

The bin lasted a whole month before we put it out and then I had to put it out becuase the small green reclying box which we had been using to store the rubbish in was getting too full! Although if we didn't have the nappies in the big bin we could have last at least another month!

Right of to school to watch the Easter Service Master A is playing Jesus so I think i had better go and watch!

The grand weigh in!

Well Mr, Mrs and Miss Green have just been to visit and have weighed the contents of my rubbish bin and the contents weigh only 800grams!

I am amazed and that includes all the junk that was found in Master A's Bedroom when we took down the cot!

There is so little rubbish that I have managed to compact it down and it now fits inside the reclying box.
