i've had a go at No 87 - learn how to make soap. I just did a simple recipe for starters and it's currently setting. apart from a pair of rubber gloves and an extra jam thermometer I haven't bought any specialist equipment. I do intend to look in the charity shop tomorrow to see if they have an old grater as I'd like to try some "re-batched" soap too.

I think I'll only mark this as "in progress" as I can't really say I've learnt how to make soap after one batch, which will then take about 4 weeks to cure before I can test it!

At least it's another step forward :j

hello ok so its early days but doing good with the no swearing, no junk food has stumbled at the first hurdle (glutinous sunday , and I had a chicken slice today from the bakery when there was no good reason for it! :o:o), oh well I'll keep at it. Its clearly bl00dy freezing at midnight so going to have to be ingenius & do some in door picnicy thing to spice up the romance , and I'm also waivering at no tv....

I'm a sham and not afraid to declare it

DNMS - you do have quite a long time before your 1001 days run out, and that includes a couple of summers. I'd wait to have the midnight picnic until August next year, but I am a bit of a wimp as far as the cold goes!

wise words there friend , am just giving up tv so needing some entertainment, and it always pays to inject a bit of romance , now that oh has paid his debt he's getting a bit "splash out" happy so need to keep him entertained indoors! Just cleaned laundary room so feeling very virtuous! x

Yes, it's one of my early ones. Each time I make one it takes over as my favourite!
Here is a link to my Photobucket page where you can see more of them, including the leather one

My favourite at the moment is the dark green one with fabric roses on the top. I'm especially pleased with it as I also designed it and made the pattern myself.

Hello all

I am very gutted to announce i failed my a picture every day for a month task!!!

I took a picture every day until about the 25th and then suddenly just forgot about it!!! :(:(:(:(:( Gutted! Will plan to do it in december as lots of great days for photos than!!

It is so annoying!

Though i did 'try on a dress i would never think to buy!' I then bought it as i loved it. It was a 'tea' dress with a bird pattern on it! Also adds to my 'own 10 dresses'

OH is away now until Sunday :( I am thinking this could be an advantage for my 101 list. I could do a few bits that i need some time for.
