    I'm in too. I don't know if I will have time for one a week but I definitely have things I want to learn. I think I will start by getting one of my boys to show me how to use a scientific calculator.

    I know I'm a day early but I'm eager. My challenge for this week is 1) to attempt to make sausage rolls with chives and mustard.

    2) I'm going to try and make a dessert every Sunday and this week it's a steamed syrup sponge. :j
    I'm trying so hard to be thrifty, but it doesn't come naturally. You lot are an inspiration!

    Love the idea of this, although may not be here every week.

    I make curtains and roman blinds as a small business, so please feel free to pick my brains!

    Winnie enjoy the sausage rolls they sound scrummy :)

    I am a day early too and my challenge for the week is to use star drops for my cleaning.

    Also we don't have a dishwasher but have one in the new house. Van I put the oven racks and gas hob rings in there?
