  • OK I am trying to find some positivity for the new week.
    Don't feel as if I have done anything but
    I have posted xmas cards
    Put up tree
    Put up card hanger and added cards received so far (after marking them off on the card list)
    the earliest I have ever done these :T

    Wine.. 3 bottles.. in a rather fetching wood case thing... :D

    Shall I polish up a second glass?



    Ooooh tease, can't, I look like Compo out of Last of the Summer Wine, really needing some hygiene time.

    And I have to make the blunking mince pies if it kills me.


    Thats such a lovely thought though, really kind.:smileyhea

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Well I knew that (durr brain that I am) but I was looking forward to flying with you all next week and thought you wouldn't be here...panic in Valliland...

    In my HHC from last week I have ironed everything - 'tis all airing on the maiden. I have washed the pots and dried some and put them away - now THAT (pot drying) is the job I REALLY hate. Don't mind washing them at all - by which time I feel I have done enough with them. It's a rare day in Valliland when there are no pots on the draining board...

    How did you do Hex?

    Now - help please - I have bought a 1kg bag of Soda Crystals. I will do a 90deg wash (MT machine) how much should I use? I was thinking about 250g (a quarter of the bag)

    Hugs for MoJ2 hope things are sorted out for hubby sooner rather than later...
