Weekend Catch Up

Weekend Catch Up #9

Weekend Catch up

From the recent survey that so many of you kindly filled out (thank you), I learnt that quite of  few members of this community do not follow The Organised Housewife on Facebook and Instagram.  I ask a variety of questions on facebook and share a more personal side of me via photos on Instagram.  Because you are missing out on this I thought I would create a weekend catch up post each week so you can keep up to date.

I don’t want to be too repetitive and share the daily tasks and quotes as these are published in the daily newsletter and I share a monthly wrap of both these on the blog.

From Instagram

workout this morning – done! love my trainer’s new set up. I’m exhausted now.

my favourite takeaway coffee at the moment Gloria Jeans’s Creme Brûlée Latte, no sugar needed.

trying to organise hubby’s office desk. got him a three tier desk shelf from howards storage world perfect to hold the longer manilla folders. these items are discontinued so get in quick if you need some.

Putting the final touches to Mr 11’s bedroom, just need to find him so funky artwork

I realised recently that I am a candle hoarder, I gather them and don’t use them. That’s changed I have started burning them and have managed to burn through one after many many weeks and hours.

Have you got any tips how to store balls in the garage? Soccer, rugby, etc (multiples!). Looking forward to some suggestions. Thanks.

Elizabeth October 4, 2014 - 10:49 PM

Karen, we keep all ours in one of those mini garbage bins in the garage. For some reason our youngest has collected every sort of sports ball available, despite not playing many ball sports. We also have a collection of bouncy balls he has picked up along the way! I find the mini-bins great as the lid keeps spiders etc out and they are cheap at most discount stores. Hope this helps.

I am having the same problem. I have bought the ones that are in the dissolvable packet, the packet does not dissolve and I find the whole mushy tablet just sitting the bottom of the dishwasher. Its very frustrating as I need to do the whole load again to rinse off any residue.

Katrina - The Organised Housewife October 7, 2014 - 2:33 PM

Ooh no, I’ve never heard of this happening, I use mine everyday and have had no problems, have you contacted the manufacturer?

Reply
Katrina - The Organised Housewife October 7, 2014 - 2:34 PM

Ooh Elsy that is awful and I can imagine your frustration. I can’t explain why they have not replied but that would have been my first advice was to contact them. Are you using them on a regular cycle? I use them daily for many many years and have had no problems.

My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all My daughter makes these cookies for us and we all love them so. I LOVE ROCKY ROAD, and these have all those yummy flavours in a cookie! They are a perfect treat in the afternoon when I sit down with a cuppa, I do love the crunch of the nuts and gooeyness of the marshmallow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The cookies freeze really well for eating later, but I must admit we tend to polish off the batch pretty quickly and they very rarely make it to the freezer in our home. I am planning on doing a big baking day soon to stock my freezer with snacks, these cookies would make a lovely once in a while, lunchbox treat if your child attends a school that allows nuts 🥜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The recipe is on my blog, or just swipe up in my stories! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
