How did you do LMH, Penpen.C.R.A.P.R.O.L.L.Z # 40 spanner supervisor.No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thought.Only after the last tree has been cut down. Only after the last fish has been caught. Only after the last river has been poisoned. Only then will you realize that money cannot be eaten."l! ilyë yantë ranya nar vanwë"0 -
Valli - Good luck on the [STRIKE]date [/STRIKE]coffee meeting and please wear your knickers, that’s one thing you don’t need to *fling* at the moment!!
pjjjx - Sorry you hear your OH walked out on you and the kids with no reason, hope you get all your finances sorted soon and flying will be the last thing on your mind, ditto what piggers said, as long as you are all clean fed and watered (((hugs)))
Toots - I am glad to see you have shortened your list, it was getting a bit extreme!!!
To all the newbies, you are doing fantastic and every wee bit you do is a victory, you will soon see it all coming together.
I gotta go now, got a lot of crafting to (sneakily) do at work while boss is away, my sister said she only wants a card, no pressies as we are all saving up for vegas, but I have 3 lovely pressies and a card for her already without spending a penny :money:(all from stuff around the house, free make up stuff etc)
Have a nice day everyone, their is a big yellow thing in the sky here which we have not saw for some time!! Makes me feel happy when the sun is shining:TGratitude is the best Attitude :T
Long Term Flylady0 -
In my HHC, I've tidied the kitchen and done my meal plan :T Need to look deeper into the freezer to see what else is thereI had an auntie who never wore knickers:eek: but then I never saw her wear anything red either:rotfl:
knickers are relatively new invention - men used to wear long shirts and tuck the tails between their legs. Just think of that every time you see Mr Darcy emerge from that lake :rotfl:
Another HHC 10:15 - 10:45 anyone :j:rudolf: Sheep, pigs, hens and bees on our Teesdale smallholding :rudolf:0 -
I'm running to catch you Penpen *puff puff*Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0

Bother - I've missed the HHC PenPen started. Will have to set off on my own, aiming to be finished by 11:15am. Starting a little early for 10:45 - off to make soup... care to join me for a swig?
Sorry - haven't had time to read the thread this morning (been to MrS and put the shopping away), but it looks like a few hugs are needed for some:(, and a private detective for others :cool: (Valli, what are you up to....hmmm?)....
Back later

I'll have to have a spoon, I'm potting up a SC chicken stew, made with some chicken 'bits' I found at the back of my Dads freezer, they looked a bit mank, freezer burn round the edges and a use by date of 2009 on one box :eek:.
Trimmed off the worst of the burn, popped it in the SC with a broccolli stalk, some sprouty potatoes and a broth pack.
Left overnight to cook, this morning it's lovely. :j
