It's either busy busy or nothing on

 I sorted the remaining kitchen cupboards yesterday, it didn't take long as I'd done the baking cupboard just a few months ago.  I only had to throw away a few things - some sachets of yeast, a nearly empty pot of baking powder and an opened pot of xanthan gum that were all out of date....I think I only used the xanthan gum once a couple of years ago when I was trying out some gluten-free baking (not successful).  There was also a plastic tub of some unidentified gluten-free flour substitute - at least I think that's what it was, I'd clearly forgotten to write on the tub so have no idea what it was actually.  There was also a half empty jar of powdered sweetener, which had gone solid.  As I never use it anyway (think I'd bought it for guests who were staying a couple of years ago), that went too.  Most of these things were on a high shelf and right at the back of the cupboard, which I can only see and reach by standing on a stool.  All done now.  Husband didn't feel like continuing with the utility room sort out, I expect he'll do it sooner or later.

Other than that, I sat and did a bit of banking, menu planning for the coming week and a list of jobs to do.  We've got a few appointments during the week, so won't be doing loads of jobs.  Top of the list is defrosting the big upright freezer - we've been eating quite a bit out of it so it's not stuffed full now.  The spare fridge in the utility room is empty and we have a big coolbox, so enough space to put the frozen food whilst the freezer is being defrosted.

Husband will be ringing the surgery this morning to get an appointment to see the GP.  I have my first (rescheduled) physio appointment at 11.00, I've not had a phone call - yet - to cancel, so hopefully it's going ahead, although there is a nurses strike on today so fingers crossed.  In the next 3 weeks husband has 3 medical appointments (so far!), I have one.  Betty has a grooming appointment this week and the vets next week for her annual jab and check up.  Husband is taking the car in for some work on Thursday.  We have our monthly coffee and cake morning with a friend next week.  And after all that it'll be caravan time!
