  • You're starting your hamper contents already?

    I'd better get cracking.

    I hope the rain holds off for your walk.

    Wow - amazingly well done on the mortgage reduction!:T:T




    And thanks again for the heads up on the REM DVD - ordered (should be here Monday) - means we can get rid of a couple of poor VHS (home recordings) of the shows concerned! :T

  • It's starting to rain now - just as I thought I was going to have to go out and water the garden!

    I'll be at 14,000 steps by bedtime :T

    I started my hampers in February Tilly with whisky marmalade and last month I made some sloe gin with 2014 sloes from the freezer and a bottle of duty free gin. This month it is rhubarb & vanilla and gooseberry & elderflower jam (and possibly strawberry & champagne if I can get enough cheap strawberries), then I'll take a break until the autumn when the hedgerow fruit is ready :)

  • Thanks both!

    I need to be a bit more organised with the hampers this year as I don't want to repeat the stress of last December...

    Still raining here - glad I didn't water the garden :)

  • Still raining :(

    Lost 5.5 lbs at chub club (did gain 6 lbs last week though after the all-expenses paid trip to California :o)

    In exciting money-related news (well exciting for us!), we calculated how much we are worth (cash ISAs, S&S ISAs, stocks, sharesave, pensions and equity in house) and it is over £0.5M :eek: :T
