    BB - how much have you lost?

    I've spent the afternoon tinkering with lavender and fabric then just sat and had a lovely long soaky foot spa......bliss

    DD2 has cooked a bolognaise sauce for later and it smells lovely. DD1 can cook the pasta and make some dough balls when she gets in.

    Between the lavender, the mango foot moisturiser and the bolognasie sauce, my nose is working over time - the house smells yummy.

  • Downnotout, that sounds lovely. I'm sure he will adore the toothbrush especially if he#'s been pointing it out you constantly.

    Pooky, enjoy your tea it sounds lovely.

    I am having a couple of days at a friends near Chepstow. She has a lovely house and chickens! We went shopping today and I bought a necklace for a friend for £7 which looks fantastic, and then nearly bought a notebook cover for another friend for £9 before I had a Xmas LB moment. So I've bought two packs of buttons, each £2.99 with about 10 buttons of 6 different colours and I'm going to make notebook covers for all my female relatives/ friends for Christmas.
    Go me.
    Looking forward to seeing people tomorrow.
