    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    One of the joys of the festive season is reading about your hampers :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Annoyed with myself because, after thinking about it, I didn't protect my broad beans yesterday :doh:

    Your hampers will be beautiful. You are really creative with both the contents and decoration.

    Have a good weekend, get striding out.

    If I knew you in real life I would be really really really nice to you - with fingers crossed I would get a hamper :rotfl:
    Gorgeous decorations.

    I think so KC :) I brushed the snow off them first thing and they seem to have perked up - MUST cover them with fleece this afternoon!

    Other plans for today:

    - make chutney
    - go for a walk
    - buy chicken feed
    - laundry
    - think about what I need to pack as I'm off to France tomorrow on a business trip

    I've been updating our social calendar for 2016. Lots of lilies already in Q1 - lunch at a Michelin star restaurant, a bake-off with friends, tickets to see Billy Connolly and Vic & Bob, and a long weekend in Spain :cool:
