    Hi Pippi :D

    I'm still lurking, was thinking about another diary for the New Year to figure out where I'll find money for all my dastardly schemes!

    You've reminded me about Flylady, I really must do something with the house before Festivus hits and I'm covered in ribbons and wrapping paper with no space to put anything new!

    Morning!

    Ooh Mooo a new diary would be fun!

    Boo to sogginess in your own time rather than work's Stripes - that is indeed very out of order. We had an interesting mix of soggy, to the heaviest grey skies you've ever seen, to bright blue skies and sunshine, yesterday. Today's started blue and sunny.

    Whoops to the chickenless soup Carol!

    i ended up with 'bread that even the chickens wouldn't eat' with butter.

    Not very interesting but hot.

    :)

    Squalls up here big time, might find a wee cosy nook to nestle in. But do need to update working spreadsheet and banks.

    Maybe I'll take me laptop.

    MMMMMMMMMM cheese!

    Does sound like an odd combo RT :) I've gone from cupasoup to a miso (found a jar of the paste in the cupboards) :) Enjoy your cheese - please do let us know what type it is.

    :)

    Today is a worky-maybe going out later kinda day.

    Suns out but its bitterly cold. I'm expecting XX trays of snowdrops to arrive today so that might prove interesting eh. They all need to be sorted and bundled and put into a couriers hand on monday.

    Radio on and lots of keeping warm today.

    Hope you all have a good day. If I'm not heading to the city later I might go home via town and shop. Basics, milk some veg/fruit. Not much else.

    You see, I'm all about the glamour me.

    Have a good un.
