It's not looking good for the computer moving, not straight away anyway... maybe sometime within the two weeks... I will sneak in when she goes to visit her friends....

Does that make it your turn to cook tomorrow Suzy?

Hi Rolanda, Suzy and anyone else . I thought I would have missed you all

was thinking the same thing Brenda

Woo hoo Rolanda! I'm obviously an awful chatterbox....

yep, but not chatty as Miss Topps: June

Hi Brenda, yes it's my turn tomorrow...

I don't know how I managed to get 11 TOPPs

I'm working on the wooden spoon myself!

My husband keeps telling me he can cook but never proved it. Can't blame him really as he doesn't get home till after 7pm, we would be starving before he got a chance to cook anything

Up until last year, I almost never cooked. Then hubby started going to TAFE and guess what????

Problem is, I'm not a very good cook!

my Hubby cooks on Saturdays.. because I said he can hehe
and I dont want to cook on Saturdays or Sundays. !!!

I am very cleverly training the girls to take over the role of chef. This week they got to go through recipes before I go shopping. I'll have to help of course, but the plan is that that will only be temporary!

Suzy..
practice, practice, practice..
boring I know..
I have been cooking since I was in Primary School.
mum would be at work when I got home from work.
and I had to put dinner on.
she would have it ready for me to put on the stove.

It is just before 10 am here and the temps up to 20C already, have been promised 23C. I've got to hang some bedding out and then I am going to find an electric extension so I can take the ironing outside to do. I now have two baskets full to do so have got to get on with it I have to take Callie to the vet at 11:15 as I have found a lump on one of her nipples

it doesnt hurt for the girls, or boys for that matter, to help in the kitchen, from a young age

I too have been cooking forever or so it seems. Ds can cook, S can do a couple of things, but as I am at home most of the time I get to do the majority of cooking, while they clean up afterwards

It doesn't hurt them to help with any of the household chores. How will they learn if not by helping.

My girls seem to do less than some around the house, though more than some too. They don't do dishes much. Though I have to replace lost library cards and I have told then it will cost them dishes for a week. And no, they can't just give me the money, I want them to think about looking after their stuff the whole time they are doing it. Interestingly, d1 searched again for her card, but d2 didn't think to.

Hubby does not like to cook at all. If I complain we then get take away. He has had left over soup from lunch and I am now waiting for the rice to cook to go with some easy curried chicken.

My son is the best cook in our family. Wanted to be a chef until he realised it would interfere with his baseball.

Hey June, jus how did you cook Kate when you had her for lunch???!!!

sorry ladies.. had a phone call, and now need to go and cook dinner for the family

June, does your son still play baseball?

I sat her in the sun in the sun room and let her simmer Gail!

Yes Suzy still playing baseball in Melbourne. He has been playing for 36 years and hubby played for about 50 years

Hi June, my husband would get take out too.
We are having a 50th birthday get together (a friends birthday) at our house this weekend. We were going to do a buffet, but over the past 5 weeks this friend has been taken into hospital 3 times, so she has suggested that we just have a chinese take out. Just in case she is rushed in again and all buffet foods would spoil.So take out it will be for 14 people

Sounds an easy way to go Brenda, and sometimes it is not that much more expensive. You can boil your own rice etc. And also so much less work!!!
Hope she is well enough to enjoy her birthday

When Hubby retired he said right Ill cook & shop that was 6 years ago & hes still going cooking & shopping so I said go for it I was still working when he retired & he cleans up as he goes & no ladies hes not for borrowing hehe

I do not mind the shopping but hate the putting away when I bring it home. Do not mind cooking most of the time . Just wish he would clean up for me afterwards. He used to do that when the kids were young (he did not like putting them to bed and reading stories) but it stopped as they got older and then we got the dish washer.(Which still has to be packed!!!)

I pack & un pack dishwasher because I do it a certain way & I do the laundry Hubby is very good he hangs the washing out because its hilly at the back my knees dont like hills

Are we heading for another TOPP

Now

We have a fairly flat yard. Hubby will sometimes put hte washing out and in. Works a couple of days a week and plays bowls and coaches baseball so finds time to be away from any jobs at home as much as possible

My post was 38, this will be 39 so two to go

I wll leave you to it June because underbelly is on & i have homework for craft tomorrow
