Can I sponser you too??

How old is your DD Marru?

Hugs to you, just caught up the last week's activities and it really has been a week for your poor DD. Well done to you for coping so well xx

Marru

Hi Jo,

DD is 5. She is so excited as my friend is coming with her two girls to take us to this farm that has all kind of activities to kids and animals etc. Ok I admit I am pretty excited myself .

Washing on the go and have tackled the book boxes. Not so nice post from council - I would like to tell them to F off but sadly I need the money. Pah! Will think appropriate thing to reward myself with after all that is sorted out. Manicure and eye brow wax? :eek:

Marru - I've good couple of books kicking about on preserving etc

I use to have my own peedie cafe (many moons ago) with a friend and we did all that stuff ourselves. I think I've a dedicated preserving book and a WI book that's brilliant. Its more straightforward than most folks let on!

You know of course that I am secretly hoping one day to turn into Barbara Goode from the Good Life (I wish)

Waves to HB and Jo

I'm useless at the normal life stuff - but I do like to dabble in cooking and all things self-sustaining got a few preserving books I can throw your way.

SM is a marvel though with all that canning etc - it amazes me! I love reading her blog
