What is this thing of which you spk...I have not had bread for 10 days!

Souk, I simply don't eat the stuff ever - I buy the odd gluten free loaf, but at almost £3 for 400g, its really not a good idea - thats why I keep banging on about batch cooking/pancakes/you name it

Today ... hmm. Wash my hair. One hour paid work. Go to the bank. Dump [strike]carp[/strike] valuable unwanted items at charity shop. Possibly go to bathstore to exchange the unneeded bottle trap for a cute little pebble plug. And sew the dratted curtains, for pete's sake, how hard can it be?

Silly billy me!

How's today's list going?

Hope you're getting through your list today KC! :T

Don't want to distract you... but just wondered whether you'd seen the Simple-Green-Frugal Co-op blog? Not sure all of it will be of interest to you, but there's quite a few people writing on it, and it's a good mix of gardening, home stuff, cooking, general simple living and green stuff and money saving

Just stopping in to say Hi KC - you've got quite a list to work through today, hope your weather is better than ours as it's grey and miserable here and keeps drizzling. I was going to go to the RSPB reserve this afternoon for a walk but instead I walked to do my Avon bits this morning (and found a brilliant short cut back! :j) and will stay here this afternoon and clear out a cupboard!

Hi there! Sorry I didn't get back on - I had that piece of work, then I did the trip into the shops - didn't do bathstore, as I couldn't find the receipt yet, but did the other stuff, and looked for a weddingy dress too - the sales are definitely on round here too, and I noticed Oxfam have some very nice proper dresses - CBA to try any on yet, but I will, I'll just have to not be doing any other shopping that day

Plus i backed up my old laptop (which means I can transfer it all to the new laptop v simply and I've been struggling for ages with transport for London tomorrow - my colleague isn't well, very rare for him, and I've been trying to find the cheapest trip back from London - it'll be about £7.50 extra, which isn't too bad, I suppose. But more exposure to infections, boo hiss! I am immune ... I am immune .... I am immune ...

I haven't come back on till now, so haven't looked at the blog properly Cheery, but its the sort of thing I like, for sure - I'll have a look tomorrow morning.

No sewing grrrrr - but I have finished pinning, at any rate.

Weather here was grey and drizzly most of the day, then turned into a bit of a deluge but here's to finding new shortcuts! I love doing that - you can live in an area for years, and suddenly realise there's an unwalked street so close by

Plus - on cheri's recommendation on the matrix thread, I found alison.com - free online courses! I don't know how good they are, but there are some website ones, and an accounting one - they'll be good for me doing my own accounts, and for the trading, when I get around to holding things longer term again.

I need a dose of Harry Potter before I go to sleep :rotfl: so I'd better go :rotfl: sleep well, all, and I'll see you tomorrow

That shortcut I found earlier will be a *very* useful one too as it's quick enough to get to and from my Avon territory that I won't need to take the car if I;m just doing odds and ends. :j

I love travelling on trains too - it's worth checking out the cost of day rover tickets that some train companies offer - they allow you to travel for relatively little all over an area all day - THIS SITE is quite useful for finding out what is available. We have used a ticket in the past which lets us travel around North Norfolk from Sheringham > Norwich and only costs a little over £7 - brilliant value!

Thanks EH, i have bookmarked the site.

Know what you mean about clothes shopping I can only do one thing at a time too, especially if it involves trying things on IYKWIM, did you say weddingy dress??? intrigued

Morning! We recommend Alison to people on the IT training scheme I'm involved in - it's a bit of a mixed bag but in general the courses are pretty good. Hope you have a good day today and keep away from those bugs!
