Title: weekend off to stay home and cook.
Post by: obbie on May 25, 2012, 05:58:14 am
I can't wait, have decided to stay home and relax, cook for the weekend, instead of working Saturday. :)

So much to do, and fill freezers for the busy week ahead.
Very happy.

Kids will be happy too.

Robyn ;D

How wonderful Robyn. It is hard working full time and getting all your household chores and cooking done.
DS does swimming lessons tomorrow, so it just means Sundays are my only free days.
Might try and have Wednesday at home this week to catch up.
Enjoy your day off

Robyn, you always amaze me how you get so much cooking done in such limited free time.  Home from work and straight into the kitchen - you really are a super Mum.  Enjoy your day off, I can imagine how long your list is going to be with an extra day this weekend.

Have a lovely weekend Robyn. You must find cooking very relaxing. I know I do. We've had a bit of a cold snap here on the lake and I had a lovely day on Thursday, watching the drizzle and cooking. Let us know what you make. Like Judy I think you're amazing working full time, children and preparing meals for parents. You are a wonderful mum and daughter.

I read your subject heading and had a wave of envy. I have a weekend of school fixtures and in law's visiting. Do let us know what you make. Deep freezer - get ready!
