Pippi’s pulling up her stripey-socks for the final sprint towards the Good-Life……………

Ach, sorry that bleurgh feeling has come back with refocussing on the academic side of things - remember how we all love your blog, Pippi, take heart, all the crap stuff will soon be over.

Bah Pippi! Bleurgh to not feeling good enough You're right though, they won't let you out til you've done it - that's all that keeps me going some days :rotfl:

(just texted you having a mini crisis with broken internet, then it came back on almost immediately - are you some kind of internet fairy wizard??!)

Don't go driving in too dangerous conditions - don't want you spinning off into the sea! :eek: :eek: :eek:

Still writing here <yawn> Still, veggies and lentils and mash on for tea - and just stupidly rummaged in the cupboards and realised we've got no gravy! No gravy!!!! :eek: Aha - I see yet again you have come to the rescue with a recipe for home made gravy :rotfl: (got no stock cubes though so will have to improvise with soy sauce and spices ) Thanks xx

off to read rest of your text... got to love modern communications :rotfl:

*Waves to Pippi and everyone*

Glad to have you back m'dear - as others have said, you were certainly missed!

LT window thing is definately worth doing I would have thought - it's a matter of time before the draughts, and the damp, start affecting your health and the health of your home as well, getting the windows done will enable you to get the fabric of the place warmed through which will be generaly good for both you and the building.

men in skirts up here we call those kilts.

These ones definitely were not men in kilts :eek:

Sorry you are feeling a bit bleugh about the studying. I went to night school in my 30's to get extra qualifications for work (having left school with not a lot) and can understand where you are coming from. But you really ARE good enough, you CAN do this. You KNOW your subject and in time you WILL get it across in the way you want to.

the bloke at my place wasn't wearing a kilt either, and he was better in heels that i'll ever manage!

Tis officially bloomin freezing here. we've calor gas and electric radiator on in the living room and we're still smoking (you know when you can see your breath)
think i'm gonna have a go at baking some mini victoria sandwiches, it will help me practice measurements for friday and the cooker may help warm this place up whilst doing something productive!

Pippilongstocking

He he he

You've all be baking, cooking and generally giving out very good advice - nice to see it all

I've done a mini bit writing to make me feel better (finger exercise) - I'll get there - every minute I spend procrastinating - is a minute more away from freedom! KC you're right!

thank you all for your lovely words - MM studying is never easy eh?

Off to check what nonsense the banks been upto in this weather. Cheery - internet fairy indeed - I'll only drive if I can be careful - I don't want to end up in the sea at this time of year - brr.

Hope the new hens are behaving and not stealing my own hens beds iyswim - they have their own - fingers crossed - how do commercial growers cope with the stress of it all - wondering if they are all OK. Maybe they don't name them eh? That will be it.

They are just very low paid production line employees unfortunately

Cheery_Daff

Sadly you're probably right Starnac!

morning all, we're still snowed in. I need provisions but the closest shop is little more than a paper shop and the next nearest shop is about 30 minutes walk. Humfing messages in the snow does not seem like a good pastime to me. Depressed, it just keeps snowing.

Cheery_Daff

Oh dear unixgirl! Do you have a rucksack? Might make it easier! And can you survive on what they have in the post office?

Must get out for some provisions myself later, need milk at least (and an advent calendar :rotfl:) Fortunately I have several shops within about 15 minutes in all different directions, so I'm assuming at least one of them will be selling milk.. no idea what I'll do if not, doesn't bear thinking about! :eek:

Hope you're not snowed in Pippi and the chickens are coping!
