Sunday clean up....
Had 12 adults and 10 kids here last night for tea and the house looks like a bomb has gone off... All the same it is worth it.. The kids all get grumpy and sooky by the end of the night, but usually a quite day on Sunday repairs all loss of sleep, for all...
So, I have cleaned as far as the family room... where the computer is. Father -inlaw is flying into Horsham today to have his plane repaired, so Jack is heading over to Horsham shortly to pick him up. We only live a few kms from the Warracknabeal Airport and it takes us moments to get there, but because the plane needs to be repaired, a 30min drive needed today.
Walked again yesterday, with the kids. Very slow walk, but I was also worried about snakes as Jack killed one earlier during the day on the drive, where I walk. He tells me that it wasn't that big, but I REALLY hate snakes and always have. I still have a shotgun cartridge that my father shot a snake with when I was about 10 - I was picking up sticks to burn and I picked up a snake in long grass.. I still shutter now when I think about it, but Dad shot it and I guess the cartridge is my lucky charm... I have taken it with me when I had the kids, exams, times of worry... Now it lives in my dresser... Nice little keepsake for the kids. I will have to think of a better story to go with it then "you mother got scared of a snake so your grandfather killed it".... Something more exciting..
So, all of our guests enjoyed WW receipes, without even knowing it... After everyone had eaten and started asking about the food did I then let on. I have one friend that refuses to eat 'diet' anything... So I hope she was surprised that it doesn't have to be cooked in fat to taste nice!
Anyway, better go and clear some mess before father-in-law arrives.
Hope you are having a great weekend...

*shudder* You are brave to walk in an area where you know there are snakes. But I suppose you walker faster LOL.
Have a great week :)
I remember when i was little, in summer there would always be snakes that would sneak into the strawberry patch. Dad would shoot them and then hang them on the fence to act as a deterant so us kids wouldnt risk getting bitten by a snake whilst stealing strawberries!
Sounds like a successful dinner party! What did you cook?
When I lived in the country, we saw a lot of snakes. I don't like them, but I'm not as scared of them as I am of mice and rats!! *shudder*
Have a great week!

Glad your guests liked their dinner!!
I use low fat meals for hubby too ( he is a stick) and he does not know the difference - he refuses to eat diet food..lol
