Natty's Kicking her Mortgage in the Pants Diary

nattypants

Okay, final post of continuing abundance before I finally get out of my bed (TYO positively forced me into staying in bed for longer....)
Anyway, with added thanks to TYO, I visited the freebie board and have registered my details to receive a sample pack of porridge.

January is turning out to be a plentiful month:D

Thanks NP

I'm still not sure on the diary front. I have such a long way to go that I will probably be here for 20 years - long after everyone else has gone (and assuming the forum is still here!). As it would be very slow progress - I think I would feel a bit of a fraud. Does that sound silly?
Also, didn't want to start at new year and fade away - if I did start one I would prob do so at another point in the year.
I do find it inspiring to be around here though - and I know that I'm learning so much from you all.
Hope you don't mind me semi-lurking ...

I absolutely promise you that I will be here for the long haul BW (and from reading other's diaries - there's quite a few of us;) as you know, my diary is 99% drivel, with the odd 1% having :money: inserts). Everyone is so nice though that they don't seem to mind (and I think that anyone who would rather not read my drivel, would just quickly - and quite rightly - move on). Please, please don't lurk as your contributions are very valuable:)

Indeed there are other long-haulers about. Just look at my sig! Do join us and have a diary, BookWorm.

Please tell Mr GG that I am very flattered:D

I am STILL stripping, although am now on an official break. Who the frig paints layer upon layer of paint on a beautiful wooden door?! Still at least I am through to the wood on 2 panels, with the other 2 panels blistering away;)
I have also had an alcoholic beverage during dryjanuary:eek: although just a wee one. I decided to have a bitter lemon with ice, then thought wait a minute, that Chambord will surely go off by tomorrow, so being the classy bird that I am, I am having a champagne flute of bitter lemon and Chambord with cocktail cherries on ice:)

Ooohhhh, sounds lovely and very classy indeed!

I do like a cocktail cherry or two...

Thank you for the tip about free porridge, just signed up for it now..might try it with some leftover cocktail cherries on top.

nattypants

It is genuinely lovely lula, and I will definitely have this 'cocktail' as part of my drink repertoire;) The cocktail cherries are a bit del-boy, but very tasty all the same.

Would you like to hear all about my future house plans?

That sounds like a good idea kirsty:D I am trying to be all grown up this year and try and eat real porridge (as opposed to the kiddie version I normally have:p)

I don't mind porridge but do he fed up with it every now and then

I'm picturing you with a champagne flute of chambord, cherries and an umbrella in one hand and paint stripper in the other ... It makes a good picture

I'm picturing Natty juicing the cherries...and bypassing the alcohol!!
