The list, he runs late. Thus, some can be crossed off as I write

Also have shampoo and conditioner to last until 2010.Finish Brownie Admin- Pack up stuff for Lisa Postponed until Monday… also need to pass on a gift-aid-spreadsheet of names of children who have, at the very least, parents who signed up for gift-aid. All horribly complicated.

The inside, less so).Sort out Japan Itinerary and email to MumSort out sleepover evidence folder,re-send email of complaint.If it bounces again, I’m sending it to their chairman. Oh look.

Red wine, herbs, pepper, garlic, tamarind sauce… I shall leave this overnight, and see what happens. I am not very good at dealing with free-form cooking.

I don’t recall if I’ve said this before, but I love your lists. When I first started at Xanga, half of my entries (or more) were daily to-do lists. I found it very gratifying to strike through what was done and posting it publicly encouraged me to get more done.
I think tamarind is a bit sweet but I’ve never had it as a sauce;sounds like it should compliment everything else. And yes it is a bit hard to find Dr. who dvd’s cheap anywhere.
Belatedly I wish you happy holidays and a happy new year
