Hi everyone

Well, I am bored of the white stuff now, it's not funny and I need it to go away :mad:

I have (sadly) worked out that it is 70 sleeps until March as that is when the weather should take a turn and get warmer. :j

We have a sharpe incline at the end of the road but luckily it's not onto a fast road but trouble is you can't just come out, you have to stop at the juction and that's where the trouble starts.

Looking forward to the new challenge though and I may do a few more, will check out the frugal board too elly x

I am going to join Slimming World too as I need mega support to shift the weight, and I hope to lose 2 stone by this time next year, which is just under 4 pounds a month, so should be achievable.

Keep warm everybody xxxx

Hello, hello
I always fancy living away from the big smoke until I read about everybody not being able to leave the house for 3 days or more. There is not much now left in London, so I have been able to pootle around trouble free.

Mabel – that ice sounds scary!!!!
Elly – huzzah for the vouchers :j
Toots – sorry to hear about the job L Just hope that things work out, and knowing the dribblers I am sure collectively we can think of things to help. Xxx (and hugs)

As for me, wedding anniversary (3 years in can't believe it!) yesterday which was quite nice and relaxed – nice meal in (it colder than a witche's tit and we had no desire to go out into the minus whatever weather).

Only mild annoyance was that there was a fire at the BT exchange so no email/internet at work. But, on the Brightside it meant that I got a lot of graphics designed.

I’ve been beavering away on the shop opening for January, and I have been busily making launch packs to send out to get some coverage so fingers crossed on that front. And working on some new designs for a side project I will share the details on that when it is closer to completion.

Other than that it is my birthday tomorrow although I’ll be at work. But, I actually want to do something for that in 2011 it is too dangerous and icy to get anyone to meet up and it is so close to Xmas better to wait for things to get better.
Right, back I go to my to do list. Lovely people I will catch up with you later

Mabel Business isn't too bad on the enquiry sides, but next year is all about really getting my name out there and making a big whacking bootprint on the world. One of the things that I have heard quite a few times is that people either can't believe the have 'just' found me, or 'heard of me by chance'. Which to me means one thing, my marking has been slackola - I think I have been so busy with the blog and building that up that the invitations haven't always had the attention that they deserve. But, I will be remedying that.

How about you sweets? How are you doing other than being trapped in doors?? xxx

Getting there hun thanks :-) Know what you mean..I really need to concentrate on the business next year-especially the publicity side which a certain dribbler is helping me with!

Hi all,
Hope everyone is well.
I too am sick of this icy weatehr. I have had no water in the kitchen for 2 days but it has just come back on. Luckily I still had water upstairs and my washer was still working thank goodness. My kitchen sink is on the very back wall of the extension so is more open to the cold and it was -13 the night before last. Having to go upstairs for water for the kettle and washing up really made me realise how lucky we are, I was moaning moaning about going up a flight of stairs when many people in the world have to walk miles for clclean water.
Its lovely to see everyone coming back and lots of newbies on the new thread.
I am really excited about the new challenge and I will look at the frugal board elly for some ideas.

Dilli Happy Birthday for tomorrow.
Rosie x
