Hello :wave:
Can I join please? I have been lurking/secretly spying over the past couple of weeks and my house is so much cleaner so thank you!
I am now making myself public. This week is half term so I'm not sure if I'll get more or less done. I suspect less so as long as I do Level 1s I'll be happy.

Toots.. I just keep thinking of 1001 other things that must be done. At the moment I think anything related to winter and christmas preparation has to take precedence, but in order to do that i have to go through every room and find lots of cash to make things nice.. stuff like curtain linings etc I already have the fabric and knowledge but lack the time.. I am seriously considering going back to sewing class after christmas and getting some stuff done. I never make time when I am at home and I should really.
Off to do some mind numbing knitting and watch some rubbish I think.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
