    Sorry I haven't been posting on here (or any of the diaries really), the Black Dog arrived snarling and I have hunkered down, at my best I have managed to play computer games, I am behind on my reading and behind on everything really!

    Hmm this week I really need to crack on with the knitting/crafting in general AND shake off this cold/cough (currently sound as though I have a 100 a day smoking habit! :eek: and coughing with a broken breast bone is a definite OWIE :eek::eek:)

    Books wise I am a couple of weeks ahead of schedule (yay me!), so in a way I don't need to worry so much about that - but as I say the crafting has fallen well behind (err by now I should have the borders and three months done on the Winnie the Pooh year AND another knitted square done :o)

    What else? Hmm well I am well on track with the savings and paying off the CC so happy with that, in fact a smidgeon ahead on the CC bit :beer::beer::beer:

    Weight :whistle:, the least said about that the better :rotfl: still I have the rest of the year to crack that and it will be easier once salad season kicks in again :j
