P.S. Do I remember seeing some sort of a 'don't buy any lunches' challenge on the boards? I've been to look for it, but can't see it.

It is this one - mortgage free diaries - it is a Cha97Michelle thread - Christmas challenge or something like that.

Tenmah - congratulations!

MG - Cha97Michelle is a very inspiring MF poster if you havent already spotted her stuff.

Lovely day, been foraging (thanks Hex) collected a pudding basin of cobnuts and one of blackberries.

3 loads of washing dried on the line.

A little bit of gardening done.

Off to make pudding now and see if I can make an autumnal door reef from some of the prunnings from the crab apple tree.

Pammyj7a and Cha97Michelle are my gurus - where's the "bowing down I'm not worthy" icon??

Great ladies with fantastic sticking power and a sense of humour to match.

Congrats Tenmah

Today has been a day of sorting out, arranging a regular payment to Amex ev.month for 12 months as part of their care programme. I visited my web geek in his new office and he has told the folks where he has offices that I am an employee (he used to be a client) so that I can visit his offices and use his computers, printers and telephone so I am not stuck permanently at home looking at the wall.

I also went shopping (this has been a big deal for me because I haven't been shopping for two months:eek:). I picked up a load of veg in the greengrocer as well as a tip for freezing cauliflower. Got some cheap meat (cheap in price but not in quality) from the butcher and got a tip from them how to cook the lamb shanks that have been languishing in the freezer - I can slow cook them on the stove top (I cannot use my oven as it has packed up). I also nipped into Tesco and used my money off coupons and stocked up from the whoopsie shelf.

I had a huge lightbulb moment earlier - I need to promote my business so that it reaches a wider audience so looked to see if there was a local paper where I hold the event..seems that there is so I am going to send them some editorial..so watch this space.

Afternoon all.
Deed poll arrived this morning :jso I've been to the bank to get that sorted and have a heap of letters to finish to let everyone else know as well.
Have emailed about a possible house. LHA doesn't quite cover the rent but I could afford to pay the rest.

Better go walk the Hovel dog.

Birthday for dh, work, birthday tea for dh, schoolwork, get icklies in bed, schoolwork then sleep - not an inspiring day in the rain but at least they pay me.

Off to sneak a look at finances and shuffle some to credit card before they shout at me.

Well done Tenmah - is going to be a few years here yet:p

Marru: great pic, lol - that is rather how I feel!

Thanks hex!

Still pretty busy - will hopefully get to chat properly in the neat future. *sigh*

Oh, you can freeze milk, can't you? Do you just shake it once it has defrosted? And can I freeze a soft French goat's cheese?

Oh, and you know that risotto rice I mentioned. When I said 'a bit out of date', I really meant two years out of date. Will it still be ok? You have to be a bit careful with rice, don't you?

Yes and Yes

Careful with cooked rice -as long as your rice is dry it should be OK - not 5 Star Restaurant A OK - but OK enough IYSWIM?

Remember they have sprouted grains and beans from stuff stashed in pyramids. So enjoy your risotto - with a huge glass of wine.


Just made the honey,oatmeal and beeswax soap to complement he chocolate soap from earlier - the whole house smells of Toblerone Mmmmmmmmmm!!!!
