    Happy Birthday Dusty, hope you have a fab day.:bdaycake:
    Half term here so i'm planning on a big clean up this week, kids don't go back till thursday so there being made to help. Best go get breakfast on and get dressed...
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • It's sunny here, so enjoyed my run, though it's incredibly slippy mud underfoot :eek:

  • I'm back in this week! Not been doing too well at keeping up to the thread or the flying since Christmas but maybe the lighter evenings will inspire me.

    We are house hunting at the moment so if I can start getting the clutter in our house under control it will make moving much easier when we find somewhere!

    Hope everyone is keeping well?

    Happy Birthday Dusty, have a lovely day :)

    Washing on the line - nearly froze my fingers off hanging it out! It's very soggy out there too. 10am meeting cancelled. So just need to brave the outside world and go to the post office.
  • Hi again everyone!

    Will be comng back to thread frequently to join in HHCs, but need to go 'off piste' a bit again this week, so I hope Piggers forgives me if I don't stick tightly to the lists...

    Am aiming for my first HHC at 9:15, ending at about 10:00-ish. If anyone wants to join in, they're very welcome. I'm just going to whizz around doing a mixture of dailies and cooking.

    Oh - and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DUSTY!

    Hi Im new to this area, but as i am now organised with meals and shopping budgets (thanks to the grocery challenge) and now all thrifty and gifty organised (thanks to all those on both threads) I had better get my butt in to gear with the house work.

    so this is my first week, I work full time so will try my best to delegate jobs to OH and kids to help me out.
