    Hi everyone.

    Sitting here freezing but still bravely keeping the heating OFF, although I did relent and put it on briefly yesterday evening.
    Not a lot of cleaning going on here this week. I keep muttering that I am on holiday but I know that it will all be waiting for me next week.

    I had to go into the PO this morning and had a real struggle with myself over the magazines. I love them but only allow myself to buy one if we are going on holiday. Oh, and Country Living at Christmas - really aspirational and the sort of thing I used to do when I did live in a cottage in the country. However, I won my battle and arrived home magazineless. Yay me!

    nmlc: well done you, but please keep the Great Escape plan up to date. You will feel much better knowing that you have everything organised and in place should you need it at any time.

    Time to Face the Music: I have started the EVOO method and it does make your skin feel soft and silky when you have cleansed it. Sadly I seem to have as many wrinkles as before. Could it take longer than one day do you think?

    Went shopping this morning and had to come home after one shop (Aldi) because I had an asthma attack...sods law the consultant discharged me last week :( So I will now keep an eye on my peak flow and make an appointment with the doctor :(
    I noticed that the meat prices even in Aldi have started to rise steadily, not a good sign
    We are going to do the rest of the shopping on Friday.

    I managed to get a line of washing dry before the heavens opened :D and DD is ironing it now :p

    Bitsy I am so glad for DH :T but it is going to be strange relocating. x

    Poor Maud; I hope to goodness she's turned the corner now, and is on her way back to health.

    Hello Again

    Bath is lovely Bitsy - never been actually but friends DD is at Uni there and her pictures are amazing - will definitely go one day.

    Nlg1520 - hope the meeting went ok.

    Businessgirl - I really enjoyed it, felt completely knackered straight after but had a little sit down with a cuppa when I got home and now feel great. Got to be strict with myself about going now. Think Friday will be the next time.

    Get well soon Maud!

    xx

    BB glad Maud is doing a bit better :T fingers crossed she's over her problem :)

    ButterflyB :( hope this is just a one off and your asthma isn't becoming a problem xxx

    Monnogran oooh that Christmas mag sounds right up my street, despite not living in a cottage. Is it out to buy now?

    Kitchen now redecorated :T H has laid carpet in DDs bedroom. The really time consuming redecorating still to do but it's progress :j
    Saw one of my friends at school who hugged me and started to cry :o must invest in some waterproof mascara or I can see the next few months being spent looking like Kiss :rotfl:

    Hi all,

    Well done on the job front - exiting times, new job and new home :)

    Love to all the poorlies x

    Sweet n sour chicken tonight with rice, had HM chicken pie last night, havn,t made pastry for ages and really enjoyed it.

    Fed up with the weather, but at least we havn,t been flooded like some poor people - luckily we live in a high area.

    Hope your all well, i,m trying to ignore the sore throat and snotty nose thatbhas appeared over the past few hours - hate colds....

    Was going to put in my monthly AF order, but nothing on the site thatvreally justifies the cost - hey-ho

    Have a good evening all x
