    Use hand cream every day, I'v got 6 tubes of it and I'm a devil for neglecting my skin.

    Im busy organising my craft stash in boxes covered in pretty paper so I can find things when I need them instead of going through boxes nd wasting time when Im making.

    Have pillow cases to make - the material has sat here for weeks but now I really need pillowcases as I have been cutting the old ones up for cloths as they came out of the wash.

    Baking session on the cards later as we have no nibbles.

    Seed planting (indoors) will begin this week too.

    Love my frugal life!

    Nag architect for plans so we can start getting builders' quotes.

    Continue with decluttering - need to more or less empty the house by spring so building work can start, double scary! :eek::eek:

    Food stocktake and meal planning, need to shave money off the food budget.

    Start seed planting inside, too, herbs etc in pots
