  • I will be going out on Friday for coffee with friends. I've been very disciplined with chores this week so am giving myself Friday morning off as a reward.

    On the MS side:
    • no packed lunch for Mr F today as he had visitors at work to entertain lunchtime
    • went to Zumba this morning to make up for missing Step on Friday
    • meeting with a neighbour this afternoon to discuss the new community group. Managed to wriggle out of being Chair or Secretary ;)
    • did the grocery shop - should come in about £12 under budget but I'll have to spend some of that because I forgot to order weekend beer for Mr F :eek:
    • did some finishing touches to Boat No 1. Boat No 2 starts tomorrow :cool:
    • Green Garden Veg Pie from the meal plan for supper tonight. Mr F had seconds but there's still some left for my lunch tomorrow.
    Over the hump now and on the downhill slope to the weekend - yay!

    Hello Karmacat. I mis-read your diary originally and thought you were closing it January next year. Now I've realised it closed January this year :( So I'm really glad you popped in as we'll have a chance to be friends after all.
    :hello: I closed it in January of *last* year :o over 18 months ago!
    Thank you for your thoughts on the painting. It's my new venture and I'm boring everyone silly with it. I usually just put links in now so that people can give them a stiff ignoring if they want but this one is a commission and so not in my Folksy shop.

    Look forward to swopping posts.

    I'm full of admiration that you're embarking on such a creative venture, I think thats brilliant. And you need that Friday morning off - to be creative, you can't be struggling with debt every minute of the day, no way.

    Thank you Lula. I've sent two off to my friend this evening to see if she likes them. Fingers crossed.

  • Not much done today as I had a lazy morning watching television :o. The little I did do...
    • £1.08 fed to Mr Marmite - the result of several raids on Mr F's change dish I'd hidden and forgotten :rotfl:
    • across-the-lane-neighbour called to cancel our date tomorrow :( But we have re-arranged for Tuesday :T
    • painted a 2nd boat picture and emailed them both off to friend to see if she likes either of them. If not I have a couple more ideas I can try
