    Hi all. Sunday afternoon and all is well :)
    still missing our dog :( he died 2 weeks ago from Cancer.

    Yesterday, I had my old sewing machine out and made a cotton bag out of an old dress.

    I have finnished knitting my cardigan, after a few months of picking up and putting down.

    Last night I had some of my clothes out of my wardrobe for a tidy up and change around. Tossed a few into my craft bag :)

    Today I have been playing around with " My Shopping" on line. Trying to do a weeks family food shop for £50.
    Not easy when OH wants meat or fish for most dinners. Then there is the bread and milk. Fruit and veg. sandwich fillers. Large chedder cheese. Coffee. Bathroom stuff, Squash. etc, etc....

    Sat out in the sun for a bit :) there will be enough time in winter to stay indoors.

    Take care all... just got requests for when are you cooking dinner?
    The secret to success is making very small, yet constant changes.:)

    Sorry to hear of the loss of your dog, good advice, we lost our family dog 3 years ago and it was tough at first but now I'm ok, knowing she had a full life and went peacefully with all of us there comforts me. (we had to get her pts as her heart was failing, she kept having mini heart attacks :( she was 13)

    Well ive listed 41 things now and I've got 3 watchers already! :T dh has made £110 today doing overtime :j
