    Hi everyone
    Very windy here today 36 mph gusts. Still bright and sunny though, but keeping the edge off the temps.
    Cooking mince today, with some herby tomatoes, will have with some LO pots & veg from yesterday. Run out of lentils, so will have to get some when I go shopping next.
    Sorry to hear of those suffering with headaches, I used to suffer on the week not on the pill, and the easy answer was to take continually, just ensuring it now and again. Other than that am fortunate not to be a big sufferer of them.
    Hope you are all coping with the snow/slush/rain. I agree with Jackie, winter has been long enough.
    Halight. Yes things will get better, they almost always do, I can recall when we were first married that mortgage interest rate rocketing up month by month it was around 15% at one stage, doubling what we had expected to pay, yes times were tight, but we did eventually get through, and good times came back again. It seems to be a fact of life that we go through boom and bust.

    Just had my first 4 weeks OAP into the bank so that has boosted the coffers.

    DH sat here reading, Skye is snoring, and I think I just might get my paints out, and see what I can produce. If anything worthwhile will post later on FB, if nothing appears you know why!!

    Take care everyone, and Hugs and Spoons all round. DG

    That would be interesting, Halight, but I think he's a bit young for the job!
