Domestic Goddess Giveaway

Greetings ladies! Thanks for all the lovely comments on yesterdays post, I was surprised by how many of you had had a similar experience with the Royal Mail. After a whole bar of galaxy and a few glasses of vino I felt much better :o).

I have recently been chatting with my new friend Michele from Mamabug about cleaning, organising and how a domestic goddess I ain't. Thankfully she sympathizes completely and often feels the same. So I thought why not have a giveaway with a domestic goddess theme. All you have to do is leave a comment with either a domestic goddess tip for me or a domestic goddess disaster that's happened to you. If you pop my giveaway button on your blog you will also get entered into the laundry basket twice.

I'm hoping this will spur me on to pull up my marigolds and get on with it. lol

I'm on holiday next week, so last chance to enter will be 12th June dads birthday. I will pick the winner on the 13th. Good luck folks.

A Wanna Be Domestic Goddess

You would think with all these books, on cookery, cleaning and good old house wifery, that I'd be a true domestic goddess. Urm! I'd like to be, but I'm dreadful at managing my time and I'm probably the worlds biggest procrastinator. So it is my aim, starting from today, as we always break our new years resolutions, to be a Domestic Goddess. I can already talk the talk, but need to be able to walk the walk.

I'm hoping to go to the Christmas market in Winchester on Saturday, but will try and get a bit of cleaning done. Sunday is the first day in ages that is free, and I'm so looking forward to it. I'm going to get the Christmas cake made and hope to get some cleaning and sorting out done as well. Hopefully I will try and tackle either the bathroom or the kitchen, as these two rooms are in desperate need of some tlc, and need more than just a quick flick around.
I've made a start, and have dinner ready prepared, so that I can just switch it on when I'm home from work. I'm treating Mr Pixie to a sirloin steak tonight, how decadent. But I'm sick of chips so were having roast potatoes, roast parsnips, carrots and broccoli. I bought a tub of beef dripping at the farm shop today to cook the roasties in, yum. Whilst at the farm shop I also ordered the Christmas Turkey, a 5kg bronze bird, that will grace the Christmas table. As turkeys are a fair old bit of cash I also paid £10 off today, so its not quite such a huge amount in one go.
I'm feeling all festive now that the birds ordered and I'm singing the pogues Christmas song in my head. I must hook out that CD. Well have a good day all, any tips on my road to being a domestic goddess would be greatly appreciated.
