Thank you! I'm so excited - my boyfriend and I have been living in a flatshare for ages whilst he finished College and secured a job, and it's been driving us crazy. can't wait to escape!
Great tip with the incense, definitely will! Give it a week or two and the house will smell of HM bread and lavender! Ahhh x0 -

I suggested going to the zoo ( I'm a big kid at heart) but o/h said it probably costs a fortune now. :mad:
We go to the Zoo about 1/2 before last entry time and it's free in...then you get about 1.5hr around the place...yes some of the enclosures are closing, but it's still a nice walk around the place and it's all lovely and quiet!!!2024 Challenges- Grocery Budget (January £0/£300)

i love having a huge sort out. u know the type of drawer u have that u just can't open or shut anymore cause there is so much junk/rubbish in it. well for some reason when i have sorted the drawer/s out i feel so much more calmer inside. very odd but true.
i always do 1 day listings on ebay and it so much fun when they end seeing how much money i have hopefully made.
i do find it is easier tho to sort everything out when i am on my own. with hubby and kids around i get so easily side tracked0
