  • Hi all

    I'm in again, Thanks Natty for the list.

    I haven't caught up with the thread since last Thursday, so I hope everyone is well, hugs, spoons or positive vibes to all those that need or want them.

    I spent the weekend reading food blogs to try and get some inspiration with my cooking and help me meal plan. As I find myself preparing the same meals over and over again as I have two fussy eaters and what one like the other doesn't and as food prices rise and our buget gets tighter I can't afford to be bending to their wim.

    I have done some flying to keep on top of things over the weekend but this cold weather has gotten into my bones and is playing havoc with me :sad:.

    I'm in, thanks for the lists Natty and DK :A

    Calming, good luck vibes to skintyland.

    Ok, it is DS birthday next Sunday. So part of my flying will be prepping to make his cake (chocolate dinosaurs made, check!), wrap his presents and chase any outstanding invitations. Also need to confirm with venue the number / ages of kiddies coming to the party.

    Catch up tomorrow!

    Well I'm off up the wooden hill now; must take my phone up there with me;)

    Just pleased the kids have done their exams; not such an issue if their school shuts now.
