    Crikey pippi, that must have been scary with Mr P's redundancies and you not knowing whether you'll get any hours for a while :eek: Hope it all sorts out xx

    we could indeed :D meeting to find out what's happening is on Monday.

    Booked 24 hours this week and took home three bags of 'things to be composted' - must get them laid out in the new 'nursery' bed.

    Well I might end up working from here sooner than I think which wouldn't be that bad...the facilities here are far more salubrious.

    Looking on the bright side and all that.

    A weekend of nothing much planned here - how about you guys.

    I'm off to chop wood for an hour, don't feel sorry for me I do have an electric saw.

    And scored a free pallet from the ironmongers its in the car :D

    Morning lands this is family day for Fly lady so have fun doing things with the ones you love :)

    Easy night last night with a cheeky takeaway £13 but will do another meal.

    Bit tv then crash out. I've started myfitness pal again as I've put on 1.5 stones since saying I DO.

    Sheesh. Happiness leads to weight gain it would seem.

    :D

    Few bits to get today when out combining journeys - taking table and an office chair to sis (broken leg in two places), will see the neices and nephews and then some shopping too.

    Flat viewing on tues again so need to go and so some dusting enroute home/out.

    Shopping - not much - milk, fizzy water, crisp breads, low cal hot choc, miso soup, some fruit. Loads of meals in freezer.

    Got out lamb mince (reduced) and garden pasta sauce courgette and tomato will make over weekend.

    Biomass boiler man coming tomorrow to see if we qualify for a scheme.

    Hope everyone has a nice weekend planned.
