Thanks for those links.

I'm know settled into my new home with broadband installed AND cooker at last :T.

Had to manage for a while with Halogen Oven, Microwave, Slow Cooker, Toaster and Kettle. Makes you appreciate having the use of a hob :rotfl:!

I've just 'saved' the spreadsheet and will have a good 'look-see' at it later today, to see if I can get my head around how it works.

Today is my first day for getting back into the habit of going to the gym again - thank goodness the snow from yesterday evening didn't actually 'stick'.

I'll check back in again later in the day - possibly with some news of progress.

had scan today and baby is on the big size so i,m thinking it may come early! was thinking of taking marking into hospital but knitting sounds much better. trying to gather up material for bunting trouble is i dont know if need pink or blue! may do a double sided one ..gonna bake some scones too as they freeze well!

You could do a multi coloured one then when baby arrives applique their name on it. My little one was 6lb 14oz even though a month early and he is massive now!

My cross stitch is annoying me as found a mistake which means hours of work needs undoing lost all motivation really but will try and get it out tomorrow night and start unpicking . . . .

I managed my challenge! I actually got a bit confused, and thought I was getting rid of 10 items a day instead of 5! But I managed it, so I'm pretty pleased with that.

My challenge for next week is to use my expensive Body Shop moisture capsules every night, and to write at least 3 blog posts. I'm pretty confident at the moment

Since my last post, I've really struggled to think of a challenge. However, have been busy sorting out the kitchen/food ingredients, so once all done will set a project based upon that.

Well the mystery tin of grapefruit has gone in a plum and grapefruit sponge. An interesting combination, it was a good job people were hungry!!
Next weeks challenge is to make a candle. I have bought some wicks so all set to go.
Just hope the show isn't too bad here in Yorkshire
