Success, at last

Today, my last day with the house to myself, I have finally felt like doing something. Actually, it was last night really. This is what I have achieved.

1. Made 2 rich fruit cakes (to take away on our holiday for morning tea everyday).

2. Made 5 batches of meringues for my next door neighbour's daughter's wedding on Saturday.


3. Packaged the aforesaid meringues into 90 bags and tied with a ribbon.

4. Made a horseshoe for the bride.


5. Helped the said bride's 17 year old sister to make a horseshoe (no sewing experience at all).

6. Made a frenchy bag with some gorgeous fabric I bought the other day from Amitie.

I have only achieved the above because I didn't eat meals at all - I just grazed all day and I had no-one saying to me that they were hungry. Not many dishes, yay!! Only cooking ones. No breaking up arguments or telling people to go to bed.

Now that I have finally written my list about what I have achieved I feel alot better and I have decided that I haven't really wasted much time at all while I have been home alone.

I have about 2 hours left of this peaceful time, but I must admit I really am starting to miss everybody. I just need another day or two so I can clean the house properly. I would be doing it now if it wasn't so darn hot!!!! I hate hot weather!!!!!

I still have quite a few things still to do, but I guess I will get around to it when I can.

We are off on a 2 week break to here - apparently, it is even hotter than Melbourne - what was I thinking?

See you when I get back.
