  • Well, it's been such a long time, I could barely remember how to find my diary! But fear not, am still here, and still MSEing....just been away on hols, and before that, it was the kitchen that got in the way (and no, it's still NOT finished, though it's 80% there, and workable, but my, I am impatient for it to be complete. Looks fab so far though). And have launched The House Mistress, though when I have more time, I might bore with you my pricing dilemmas, but anyway.....Just made this month's payments to Virgin (minimum) and RBS (£403), so now back on track (after last month's need to pay design and print costs) to clear RBS in Oct. Will update totals later, just snatching a few mins MSE time whilst cooking. Holiday not too disastrous financially - not personally, I was vg and v MSE, but the joint a/c took a little punishment....though again, I think we were pretty restrained, it's just with 5 of us, it's just generally expensive.....few ups and downs with Mr R and I, but plus ca change.....again, might update if there's time. All OK now, but my poor heart was sad at times when we were away......

    Looking forward to reading others' progress when I get some proper time for a catch up!

    Tootle pip for now

    Missed you Mrs R.

    Our style guru is back :j.

    Glad that the House Mistress is up and running.
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.
  • It's nice to be back. I do get a lot of strength and support from my friends here.
