    I think 'brassic and loving it' sounds fab; how about a thread on how to live a champagne lifestyle on a tap water budget? How to live frugally, but get all the joys of life anyway, and sneaky luxuries too? People like Caterina, who have fab ideas about how to enjoy some of the more luxe things in life on a shoestring? I haven't done a good job of explaining what I mean I fear :o I think a thread like that would really appeal, but maybe not on OS.

    That took me about twenty minutes to type because I am pmsl at Harry Hill :rotfl:

    Thanks fb. X

    Where to stick the thread then? Unless one of us starts a diary instead and encourage others to post.

    Evening all,

    Got up late this morning, and have been chasing my tail ever since, 2 loads of washing dried on the line, kitchen and lounge cleaned, chicken casserole and rice for dinner.

    Hugs to all in need, off to jump in a glass of something cold :beer:

    Bitsy, you start it as a diary to chart your life changing now you have dropped the extra mindees, and we will all chip in. That will fit in nicely with what we were discussing yesterday ;) x
