Didn't do much flying today :whistle:but made a lovely wild mushroom soup and baked Weetabix Brownies.

Apparently Value weetabix are horrible :mad:( how can they be more horrible than any other weetabix? eughh 'shudders at the thought') so have to dispose of 2 boxes of the stuff.
Thinking fruit crumble with weetabix in the topping, :shhh:whaddya think?

Lil-me:beer: A pass is a pass, don't knock it or yourself.

:grouphug:To all who need it

:coffee:to everyone else.

Oh and Pigpen, that is obviously going to be a beautiful baby! My brother and his new wife (married last month) are having a baby next week (if on schedule) if SIL has her way not for another 2 weeks as their bathroom is still being renovated i.e don't exist at the mo!

Ooh, pigpen, that's definitely the youngest baby pic I've ever seen on this thread! How exciting. (I'm also a bit smug that I guessed right about the health professional!)

lil_me - you passed, that's all the matters.

sinderella - hugs. I'm sure it will get better. In the meantime, make sure that your bank and credit card people know what is going on if you haven't already. They are less inclined to panic if you have been open with them about problems - and hopefully plans that you have made to sort them out. Is there anything in the house that you can sell at a bootfair or on ebay to make some money to tide you over? Any members of the family that can make you a short term loan? Are you over on the debtfree wannabe board? They are the best I know at sorting through a SOA and finding extra pennies and pounds that you can shave off. Meantime, we're around here to listen and offer a virtual coffee and delicious and calorie free cakes and biscuits!

I'm entitled to post today, as I have actually done the bathroom to Level three. I don't care if it's not today's room.:p

Tomorrow DD and DS1 are off to a music festival, and I shall be a nervous wreck until Monday morning when I pick them up. They're camping, and currently are not speaking to each other after a blazing row over what time they should arrive tomorrow. I'm sure they'll have a great time sharing a tent.:D

I'll do a bit of catching up over the next few days, and hopefully it won't be too bad weather so I can garden.

Hi

No matter how hard i try i can't get it all to add up properly:mad: :mad: :mad: I don't know what i'm doing wrong but i need a break. I'm missing something

Thank you for the list - I have been very slack this week:o and haven't actually completed a full day I don't think.

I am still determined to post my progress (or lack of it), just so that I don't feel that I have given up as this system really does make a difference if I do it!
