Not yet DC, think we will in the New Year. Do you know when I have some money I am going to pay a decorator to sort my walls for me as they are crud lol, and decorating them doesn't do a lot.0 -
I'm just about struggling through with my meal planning, not sure why as I used to really enjoy it. I have cooked from scratch every night though (even though I did shove myself something quickly together last night, I had previously made a meal)
Tonight was rissoto.
No wins today for me on BB
What will we do when this runs out?
I'm thinking I might need to get back to ebay again, but not sure if I can face it lol.0 -
I tried adding OH but for some reason it wouldnt accept his card, how annoying.
That will be good when you start planning the wedding.0 -
