    So today has been wall to wall work..flat out. BUT MSE wise..

    - just enjoyed a late supper of HM rhubarb crumble. Pretty sharp (I never put in enough sugar) but lovely with lots of double cream:rotfl:

    - Tilly Tidied and checked bank account hoping for a miracle about 5 times today:o

    - tidied up my signature but now have a spreadsheet

    - sold an item after about 5 relists for £40 today so as long as postage is not too bad then well I am not complaining. Have wrapped up and its ready to go..to the PO along with...

    - a train ticket that I didnt use so trying for a refund. They charge a £10 admin fee but should still be £16 up

    - Still keeping the heating off. Everyone freezing but its become a point of principle now:D

    - tomatoes doing well but PSB seem to be just curling up and dying. Is it cos they were planted next to tomatoes?? Weird. Wish I knew why:(

    Laters xx

    No not climbing as the OH has exams :( I have been lurking though and I have been knuckling down with my new little business as well as the day job. It's now funding itself which is lovely.

    I shall have a look as I know it's such a great product. Incidentally have just found this recipe for dishwasher tablets: http://www.louises-country-closet.com/2013/03/homemade-dishwasher-detergent-cubes.html
