This was the BPA free stuff I found... in case anyone is interested... (I also got a kingsize goosedown duvet for my spare bed... which I should really have left at the cleaners to be washed before bringing it home, but it was a bit busy...)
thanks GreenBee - just knew there was a reason why I have to go to TKM tomorrow!! :rotfl:
MoamAlthough 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 until today I was really sick of the snow. I like snow just not the thick ice it has left behind. I have finally been out though, we went into Edinburgh and so I feel less of a prisoner on my own home now. More snow this afternoon so I went out for a run because there was no ice for me to slip on, I'm sure it will be back tomorrow though. If anyone wants snow come and see my road and it will make you think twice. Rant alert Why do I pay the same council tax as people on bus routes when they get their roads and pavements gritted and we don't, I think we should get a reduction rant over

So the filing cabinet has had it's annual spring clean! Just need to finish shredding a few bits though.
I've also managed to put 4 things on Ebay. At least another 6 to go on today still!:rolleyes: God it's so slow!
Other than that not much else has been done.0 -
...and another one that I can put work, exercise and meal plan on and keep out of sight of any visitors...
everything is in my blackberry/work calendar, but sometimes its good to have it somewhere more accessible. Meal planning will be done later/tomorrow. I've stocked up on pretty much everything today, so I should be able to manage with the odd trip to the village shop/farm shop/butcher. And I bought new BPA-free plastic boxes so can get rid of some of my millions of food boxes
I'm intrigued about putting work, exercise and a meal plan on the same calendar. Havent ever thought about it. Have only ever put a meal plan together. Maybe I need to schedule exercise as well
My plastic boxes are recycled from the chinese when we get a takeaway. Is that really bad for us? I very rarely buy boxes. What will you do with your millions of boxes?0 -
