today is our 6th wedding anniversary and were hoping our last one living with my sis and partner, its really getting us down at the mo not having our own place, this is just a house not a home, were not even allowed to put our pics up on the walls:-(
i have started pickling my onions, they will be finished tonight and have put off getting dhs last pressie in hope of finding it for less but am just going to order it tonight so its done.
this week in going to sort out the bedroom and clear the top of the wardrobe so i can put hampers up there with the individual contents in for each person. Hope everyone has a good Sunday and the weather doesn't cause too many problems x

I want to wrap but my boxes aren't sorted.... I need another large box ... I wrap in November and do other catch up /final bits in December.. and I have everything done by the 22nd, veg prep 23rd for Christmas dinner which we have on the 24th.. so I can go to bed early on the 24th..

2 more of my mothers presents done.. halfway through hers.. she owes £110.33 now.. only 2 have gone over the £20 so its not too bad.

System

I think im getting obsessed on your behalf OMO
