    He's lovely. *forces herself to look away from the baby. Do not get broody. I repeat do not get broody*

    oh no I've missed nearly 2 days of the challenge already. Must get butt in gear. Broadband is being activated in new house tomorrow. That helps with number 4. I have also started putting things in a cupboard ready for photographing.

    Number 2 not going well. We are having a housewarming on Saturday and instead of the normal get very drunk we are having the more civilised afternoon tea. Which means I will probably eat WAY too many cakes. This part of the challenge will have to wait til Monday before starting I think

    tirl- yay to the new house. That's so exciting. I hope you are very happy there x
    Goals for February
    Declutter 2/50

    Always nice to find a fiver... I did that recently when I found a handbag I hadn't used for a while....

    Well my debt goals may slow down slightly as student loans have caught up with OH after about 5 or 6 years silence and suddenly taken £100 with no correspondence, warning or anything!
