To-Do List

To-Do List

Living in a Grenglish household does have it advantages sometimes.

Like having two Easters for one.

Whilst we will be celebrating Easter with the rest of the UK this weekend, we’ll also be whipping out the barbecue again next weekend for Greek Easter.

This year, we have taken the week off work between the two dates to rest, recuperate and potty train.

However, looking at my to-do list today, it does not seem there will be much time for the rest and the recuperating.

Or for potty training…

remind parents that we are coming on Good Friday

text Jack (youngest brother) to ask what his favourite cake is as missed birthday. Fingers crossed he says chocolate or sponge cake as these are the only cakes you have tried & tested recipes for
