Lucielle, I have not been around for a very long time and was very pleased to hear about your progress - the 'negative wealth' is almost gone. Sorry to hear about your OH's job - any chance he can run the business full time and grow it? Sounds risky but this is our imperfect perception of risk - being employed is in fact much more risky because only part of it (and a small one at that) is in your control.
'Fluffy and misunderstood' is very good; this is exactly how I feel - problem is, I am getting to fluffy for too many things including some that I love. So time to deal with the fluffiness, I think.
Look after yourself - you are all doing so well.

Another one here who enjoyed some lovely salmon for tea - it was delicious and OH agreed too
Unfortunately i love pesto and he doesn't although of course i can just pop some on mine the next time we have it so thank you for the tip
Really trying to run the freezer supplies down a bit but its really hard to doWhat is it about having a fully stocked freezer that make me feel better? :think: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: It *needs* to be run down a bit though as it is so full it is a battle to get anything out of it and be able to close the door again afterwards :eek: - another reason i want to move somewhere bigger so i can install a happy little chest freezer
Lovely to hear of your bargainous shopping for your son :T and really nice to hear how much he appreciated it too
Hope you enjoy the rest of the weekend
*oh yes* thank you for the reminder to get the accounts up to date- it will be done it will...

Yawn, tired again. Hopefully DD1s last day of lambing and therefore the last day of getting up at 4.30.
Firewalker, if push comes to shove OH will go full time in the workshop and I'll try and increase my hours. After all he supported me whilst I had time off with the children and truth be told he would be a lot happier. Finance wise it would be easier if he had a regular income.
One lot of stocktaking has been done, the hardest lot. The rest should be easier, I'll have to try and get down this week before we lose momentum again.
Having take away tonight, just can't face cooking. Got a leg of lamb out for tomorrow nights tea, yum. DS1 got it as part of his Christmas present.
I know the feeling on opening the freezer door, sometimes you take your life in your hands, or in my case whatever falls out usually hits my piggies and sees me howling in pain, hopping round the kitchen. Much to the mirth of the children.
Taxi, well done on the accounts, now must keep up with them ,easier said than done.
Right I smell food!

Seems like you're having a great weekend! That's great.
I love the lamb.. Very traditional and my favourite meat by far. I have opted for chicken tomorrow as we already had some that was reduced and just sitting in the freezer!MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

We had lamb a few days ago and pork today as DS3 had put them in his fridge and they needed cooking off and eating(I couldn't stick them in my freezer as it was too full) so we've got fish today.
Glad you've got a lot of stock taking done.I also think your DHs best bet would be to run the business full time so that he can put all his efforts in to growing it especially now that what's happening at work isn't suitable hours for him.He'll be in full control that way.0 -
His hours haven't changed yet, we'll know more in July. Not such an early start as DS1 needed to be in work for 7.30. DD1 has finished lambing, having had a great time and learnt loads and as a plus to all her hard work she even got paid!!!!!
Possibly going swimming today, will decide later.
