When life sends you Lemons, just bake a cake

Lemon_Tree

not much happened today of any interest. i was very bad on the way home i picked up a takeaway! this is a habit which really will be being hit on the head very very soon.
I've been thinking about setting myself some challenges for next year. I'm useless at new years resolutions so i'm going to have a think about things before christmas so that i can set them as realistically as possible.

I can so sympathise with the stopping for a takeaway thing - it's so easy to fall into that trap isn't it. I think the winter nights make it even more tempting as well, as when it's cold you just want to go home and snuggle up, and cooking just seems like SO much effort!

you're very right EH, but i also factor in the fact i feel that i'm being bone idle. I had no real excuse. I just need to get myself sorted

my husband is very lovely, he popped to Asda on the way home from work in time to raid their reduced items and he's bought me some beautiful flowers. They are 'extra special' ones which i would never have bought ever for myself which makes them even better. what just tops the cake is that they're vastly reduced, which means i can enjoy them with a clear mind. Now i wish i hadn't had the chinese as i don't feel worthy of such lovely pretty flowers.

he also picked up a couple of their cooked chickens for a pound or so each so that's loads of meals sorted for us once i've striped the meat off the bones.

It not right at the back door - you have to walk for a few minutes

from the back door down a private track - six minutes if strolling at a leisurely pace.

Although up here nowts private really

I'll take the link down in a mo - just wanted you to see it.

*sorry if offended*

I do have a spare room and the requirement for frequent visitors OR house sitters

Lemon_Tree

you know you haven't offended and you don't have to take your link down if you don't want to
i do pop along to your blog occassionally to see what you've been upto.

now you've just sold me, it may take me 20 mins but i'd love to take that walk one day and see the sea and the seals.
