    Well done, you are doing fabulously :)

    I can't remember if I mentioned, but the draught excluders were lovely!

    Thanks PB. :D
    I need to sell as much as I can to keep the momentum going. :)
    And to create some space and put towards some furniture I have my eye on. :D

    Well it's good to have a goal! :T

    You're right, jwil: they are! Well done TC. I really want to be good at crafty things like that, but I'm a bit rubbish. They were lovely. I have bought ones less good than those.

    Still not had a cigarette since last Thursday. :D
    I am currently making banana bread-it's in the oven and due to come out in about 5 minutes. It smells delish!
    Tonight we had a very unimaginative fish finger, mash and beans-but we are trying to use up the contents of the freezer-hence the fish fingers. :)

    Well done of the ciggies. :T

    I really should do an inventory of our freezers and start using stuff up. Though I did find and defrost some soup for lunch today - courgette, it turns out, with rather too much garlic it also turns out. :o Was yummy though.

    I might make that a job for this weekend - inventory of food in freezer. :)
