  • Well we have a new tutor for DS :j who is lovely and will be coming to us every Saturday, but it will mean finding a quite a few extra £'s each month. So guess who must start Ebaying later? Best charge up the camera.

    Right, shopping list - check, DH with wallet - check, DS with coat/shoes etc - check, OK time for a supermarket dash then...:rotfl:

    See you all later

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.


    Snowball says too far away, working hard to bring it forward.
  • Morning all

    Really wish I could work out where I put my get-up-and-go.

    However - bits of blue sky so must get leaves cleared from garage door and into bin.
    Wrap presents for next weekend swap.
    (work out what else needs sorting - that'll be everything then:o)

    Leaves binned!
    Presents wrapped! (need to check list to see what else I need)

    Wish I could work out why posting things gets them done :rotfl:

    toots- hugs and energy vibes

    Jam made - not sure if it will set or was at setting point - fingers crossed!

    BM on making a white loaf

    Woke up wide awake at 6.30am this morning - how come? When on a weekday don't want to get up at this time!

    Plan for today is LR, BR and Spare Room

    And will maybe start some Chutney if have time and motivation!

    Also bought some nicely reduced winter pansies for a bargain today and will plant these up tomorrow as today is very grey, miserable, drizzley and cold.

    Catch you all later on, off to see what I need to do
