Hi everyone.
arrived home from work a little bit ago and just heard about the gunman. very very shocked. and we are a fair way away from there, must have been horrible for you evenstar.
have kept to the menu plan for 3 days now. so far so good.
Em, my duck dream may come true sooner rather than later. my mums partner may build us a duck house and run and someone locally sells the ducks and/or hatching eggs.
DH is going to pay cost of materials for building it for my birthday present.
So may be picking your brains if its not too upsetting for you.
hope everyone had a good day.
chocolate is definitely my guilty pleasure.

Hi Elly

I am ok thanks! Have had a funny old week, fibro been playing up a bit, had a busy bank holiday with DP which was lovely but spent yesterday paying for it. Today is all good its warmer so my pain instantly feels better, wish it was this warm all year round I would have hardly any pain!!

I am planning christmas lol, got a list of all the people I need to buy for and I am going to make a hamper for everyone this year. Feeling rather organised i love it. Even thouht about making my own cards

Hi jo - ask away, i'll be happy to help if i can... we have a gorgeous duck house, it's like a little beach hut on stilts, i'll see if i have a pic for you on facebook...you must be really excited - my OH made my duck house to my specifications for my birthday, it was by far the most expensive part of the pressie but made to last. It's sad seeing it empty but we'll see...

These shootings are so horrific. I'm only just catching up with the news. How sickeningly tragic. Those poor, poor people

Shootings? Have i missed something? Apparently a lad from my town died in afghanistan this week and is being flown home today or tomorrow. Lives few doors down from my gran so she says, very sad. I feel for the family.

Babymoo - There have been a series of shootings in Cumbria - 12 dead and 20 + injuried at last count. Very tragic.

Jo - i've added the finished duck house pic to our facebook group for you x

Aaaarrrghh! Remind me never to try to sell anything through Amazon. I have had notice of a sale but can't get to the purchasers details because it keeps sending me to a screen inviting me to be an Amazon seller! I've been to support and they have said they can change my password. The password isn't the problem! I have asked them to cancel the order and remove the rest of my books (spitting the dummy out - just can't be doing with hassle) and all they can offer is a password change! The book was ordered Sat night, so I couldn't send it because of Sunday and BH Monday. Forgot yesterday (oops) and was set to send it today but no address. I'm away from tomorrow till late Saturday, so no way can I complete even remotely on time. Right royal PITA!!!

aww 2cats what a pain - that's just the kind of thing that puts me off selling online, but then i'm not making any money at the moment. I've been 'planning' a boot sale for the last 4 years but that hasn't happened yet either. I'm not a natural salesperson lol.

NLID - my guilty pleasure is crisp dry white wine (unoaked)... or dry cider over ice... or pimms with all the fruit... or dom perignon rose (but not very often!)... and cheese (blue cheese, brie, camembert)... and chocolate... and ice cream... But again i don't feel particularly guilty about having any of this, just full lol
