    Hello Lucielle:wave:

    Found your diary a few days ago and have thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Took me a while:D

    So sorry about your old horse but you done your very best for him. I love reading all about your kids and their antics. Never a dull moment when they turn into big babies!!!! :) I take it you are in the North of England. Such a beautiful part of the world.:)

    Well done on your debt busting...is your new total written in purple at the bottom...sorry for being dumb

    Sorry to hear your back sore again today and I hope you get it sorted very soon.

    Ps Love your cooking too. Picked some plums down the fields a few days ago..have left them to ripen and am considering doing an apple and plum crumble tomorrow. Have tonnes of crab apples and hope to tackle apple jelly the week after next.

    take care and keep us all updated.:)

    God bless

    The figure in purple is how much I've paid off the debt this year. Thankyou for reading. You've just reminded me that DS1 fetched some plums home that will need something doing with them and I picked a courgette today masquerading as a marrow. Found a recipie for courgette chutney so will have a bash at that, maybe a bit later on when my back isn't as eeeek!

    Still miss my old boy and still feel guilty about it, but last winter was truly awful and I know he'd have hated it.

    Morning peeps, OH rubbed some deep heat on last night which helped a tiny bit. Still walking like an old crone. Puppy did an awful lot of crying, which is only to be expected, hopefully she'll settle soon. Will post some pics when they get loaded.

    SH, forgot the 112 was in the siggy will get that amended. Better do my back exercises.
