At last holidays!!

I must apologise I have not posted for ages!  I have been really busy at work, anyway I have finally finished for my holidays. I have not been off since February half term, so I am ready for a break.

I have been working through my to do list, so far we have had the new worktops put on and last week, Markie Mark built me a matching breakfast bar. It is made of the same shiny black work top and it looks great. I have bought 3 red stools to go with it and ds2 hasn’t moved from there since it was built last week! (It must be a place where teenagers like to sit??)

I have also had the hall/stairs and kitchen diner decorated, Its just cream plain walls with white gloss paint work. It has freshen the whole house up and everywhere looks clean again, so I am really pleased. :)

As I am off this week, I am trying to catch up with all those jobs you put off, I have booked the car in the garage for Friday to have a MOT, so fingers crossed it would’nt cost too much, but you never know??

My Best friend, who is also on holiday is coming round with her dd on Thursday for Lunch and a gossip. So I have been thinking what to make for lunch?? I have decided to make chicken ceaser wraps with actifry chips and I am going to bake a lemon drizzle cake.  Looking forward to seeing them and for a good gossip :)

I am just working on next weeks menu plan , so will post it when it’s complete!
