  • Hi SF:wave:
    Hope you remember me from the 4K. Looks like life is going pretty well for you, compared to doing 2 horrid jobs and stuck at home:D.

    Met bails for coffee last week and told her I'd spotted you were getting married and she was really happy for you. She gets married in Feb:D

    :hello: BB! How are you? Aww that's fab about Bails - she must be really happy :) How are things for you? Feel free to pop by more often!
    Sea - I know, I must keep that in mind!

    Yeah: her boyfriend proposed at Everest base camp as the dawn broke over Everest:smileyhea. She's returned to full time teaching this term too.

    I'm happy thanks. I do lurk on the frugal challenge forum sometimes (I do like to check up on my favourite old members :D) but having got my finances in shape so I know how I spend , and on what etc and generally feeling in control now, my energies have been directed elsewhere.

    I'll be back:D

    You could kill two birds with one stone while you're off & cut old magazines into strips to make some paper chains :rotfl:

    I'm a bit like BB in that I don't really follow the 4K thread now; a combination of trying to cut poota time to save on the lekkie, & making so many notes of recipes & stuff I wanted to attempt but not actually getting to do them cuz I was too busy reading about them :doh:Had been wondering about Bails tho as she was hoping to wed back in Sept last time I looked..

    According to the local news on the radio this morning, we had between 8 & 10" of snow across our patch during the night :eek: The flakes were tiny yesterday but falling consistently & it's just started again now. I suppose it doesn't look so bad when it's not a blizzard, but still a rarety for us down here. You can't see the four cars parked out front at all; they look like a bleached sand dune :p Glad I saw it before the kids get out there to build :snow_laug as it looked kinda beautifully eerie in the dawn light...

    We've had a good 6-8" over night, so not an impressed SF sat here! OH has just gone off to work - I'm not sure he should go really but he thinks differently.

    I certainly don't intend to go anywhere today, other than a doctors appointment at 4:10PM. I'm going to sit and snuggle on the sofa in my fleecy blanket and just relax - have got a stinking cold again so don't feel up to much anyway.

    BB - I know what I'm doing with my finances as well, but I feel that by joining in a challenge like that just keeps me in line. I must admit, it is totally different now to when I first joined, and I miss the "old" members who used to frequent the thread, but oh well.
