Elly I am so pleased for you and your Mum

jo70mo

wow Rosie your challenge has got a great total.:T

mambury

I am actually! So far I have managed to get the garden sorted for the winter (still need to put the onions and garlic in though), I've bought a chicken coop (with some PM money) chickens will be ready in a few weeks so gives me a little time to get the electric netting (two cats, both hunters,and a dog that likes to play and knowing there are foxes around make it pretty essential!), made some more preserves for christmas presents and dealt with two sick kids! (tummy bug) I am feeling more relaxed and I;ve started enjoying being in the kitchen again as I'm not so rushed.
Got paid yesterday so all's good so far.

I am pretty much organised for chrismas. I need to defrost the freezer and then I can get on with making mince pies, pudding (home made icecream!), and any other bits that I think we might need....

I can see myself getting bored in the job so plan is to start looking at some courses in the new year to keep the old brain going....

Glad to hear the your job is going okay...

Yay for the chickens and coop. just make sure you get females although I guess its a bit easier to tell with chickens than indian runner ducklings.lol.
