An Enchanting Fairytale........ Part One.

Ha ha......... That made me snort my coffee through my nose :-). Kenco, not EDV :-) Something's, even I refuse to compromise on.

Admittedly, we have a dishwasher...... Hanging head in shame, so I don't use that much washing up liquid. But, Princess does...... She has a cleaning obsession at 6 yrs old. Might be an idea to buy EDV washing up liquid for her, she seems to go through half a bottle every couple of days or so. Last week I caught her fully clothed in the bathtub soaping down the bathroom tiles (confused?....... Yeah, me too). I just thought, she's happy and I get a cleanish bathroom :-) albeit, a soapy one x

PWPS, I bought the snack crisps and the sweet & sour sauce too! (and lots of the other stuff). Although I draw the line at Tea, coffee and cornflakes :-)

Right I have caught up with your diary whilst at my desk in work. Shhhhh don't tell anybody. I was waiting for my chemistry to finish anyway :rotfl:

Anyway, don't be too hard on yourself, you are doing well. You just need to keep going and don't give up. I have been debt busting for about 4 years. I have periods were I do well and then fall off the wagon again. It is all about willpower and discipline, traits which I don't have in abundance.

Oh by the way did you get anywhere with the kitchen gardening. I did grow veg a few years back but struggle to find the time now.

I do wonder sometimes what the victorians would think of us now; we have such an easy life compared to them.

I have a program on DVD that was on TV in the 80's I think. It is called 'The Victorian Kitchen Garden'; it is amazing. the things they grew; cucumbers in the middle of winter. It was truly awe inspiring.

Anyway better go.

Good Luck

Hi MF

Waiting for chemistry, eh? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh well at least my incessant ramblings have kept you entertained

I've managed to find my way back out of the deep, dark wood, escaping the lions and tigers and bears ...... Oh My :rotfl: I would love to say I have made a difference, but seeing as though I have never cut the grass before in my life . (lived here for 16 years and yes........ Hubby usually does it :T) I feel like I made a hacking job of it! The wildlife now have new, special places to reside...... I aim to please :A.

A couple of months ago, when my lightbulb was flickering I "You Tubed" ( that sounds weird to say) Frugal Cooking and "The Victorian Kitchen" came up. I watched it, as it reminded me of a school program called "The Way We Used To Live". It was quite informative and yes, I often have conversations with my G'Ma about how she managed to complete all her jobs with out our modern day conveniences. I find those conversations immensely satisfying as she is great at giving me the motivation I need to get home and get cracking

Well, Munchkin is out of the house and Princess has her friend round to play and I'm. .......... Well, I'm on here....... Think I'm obsessed :rotfl: I think I might chill for a bit and read my new Michael Connelly book, I can only read it before I eat something because it's quite gritty.

Must have been the mention of 'flavenoids' that pointed me in that direction :-).

Dr of Chemistry, eh? Swishy title ;-) Are you like a mad professor? More on the mad side and less of the professor....... :-)

pennywisepoundstupid

Just read that you have a dishwasher, i've been using the daisy dishwasher tabs recently (swapped from fairy/finish) and i've not noticed any difference, think they are about £3 for a box of 40.

Think you have been spamed ...TejTara. Have hit the spam button .

Well done on the shopping, I know its hard I have weeks when i am really good and others , well lets just say the:eek: button doesn't even begin to show my shock at the bill and there are only two of us:rotfl:

Enjoy the break with the kids, with the better weather you could always take picnics to the park etc.

Not much to report lately, everything is ticketyboo :-)

Thanks New Road Ahead for reporting the spam x. Shame I missed it :-)

Lots of great ideas for my shopping. I will have to look into the dishwasher tablets. The other day I paid £2 for 10! They didn't last the week and the sad fact is they were also half price..... Shocking.

I think I will have to look into batch cooking. I love to cook, but it's usually with lots of ingredients...... I really need to get back to basics, look at the old style forum a bit more :-). Elly68, the cake mixes sound like a great idea. I love cream cheese frosting, as my hips can attest to, so maybe I could slather the carrot cake with that :-)

Money Fritter......... "We all go a little mad sometimes". Or is that crazy? No matter, I'm a little of both X

Plans for the day ahead are a little strange today as I'm childless...... They are at their Grandparents for a couple of days........ Truthfully I'm at a loss. I have dreamt of a quiet castle for a couple of weeks now and now that I have one, I really don't know what to do?

Dare I venture into town? Can I resist the lure of bright, glittery, sparkly pretties? Hummmmmmmmmm, I'm not sure? Maybe I should keep away x. We'll see :-)

No matter what you are doing ...... Have a happy and pleasant day x
