glad you had a wonderful holibob away and it was the break that you deserved and needed.
Happy new year, and may it be the one where you see the CC's cleared, and maybe even a little wonder around a special secret location with some good family and friends

:hello:Hello GP, how nice to see you, hope you're doing well.

I'm going to follow that linkie too, I like the sound of that :j

Ay up to you too KC! :hello:

The more folk making rhubarb champagne = the merrier!! (in more ways than one :rotfl:)

I like how Frugaldom mentions if your rhubarb is particularly deep red in colour, you end up with 'pink champagne' - very sophisticated!

Love the champagne recipe Greying, I have bookmarked it for when I have my glut of rhubarb later on this year.

Up before everyone else here @ Keiss Towers and have the second load of washing on. A bit chilly out atm, so no hanging the first lot up until I am washed & dressed, which I will do after I have finished my breakfast of porridge..yummmm!

Going to try and get organised today:

Finish the great food stocktake;
Draw up a menu-plan for at least the next two weeks;
Fill in my 2012 spending spread-sheet (Ik£a yesterday!! :eek:);
Get my crafting spread-sheet sorted;
Talk to DH about how to manage our income/outgoing better...wish me luck on that one!!
Do some cleaning/ironing - hate both, so not looking forward to this!

That's "all", but I will no doubt find other things to do to distract me from what I should be doing!

Have a good Monday everyone xx

:wave: Thats quite a lot!

Luckily for me, I'm getting ready to go out

Hi all
The mention of Rhubarb champagne reminded me, my rhubarb is starting to grow! Yesterday there was a knobbly lump above soil level and today a little leaf is unfurling. The worlds gone mad!

Happy 2012 to you all. Not long left Wik, in sunny Nth lincs.

Speeding up the road north waving as I go to anyone watching.

Kids land at 6pm, dans Edi.

Exciting that kids arrive back today Pippi!!

Hope you have a save journey home tomorrow. Looks like the gritters forgot to turn out in England in many places last night, so lots of accidents this morning!! :eek: Still only 5 deg outside, not been any warmer all day today .

Still trying to sort out all my spreadsheets...what a nightmare...DH keeps disappearing when I need to get information from him, and I have to traipse through the house to track him down!

Take care on the roads and hope the Firth isn't too choppy!
