    ...Time for a list...

    All is right with the world when Pips has a list!
    ...long stripy sock wearing antics...

    ...which if you hang out here long enough becomes contagious! I had on over the knee striped socks under my suit yesterday - No one could see them as had on closed shoes, but made me chuckle all day!:D

    Pips - on another note altogether, check out this lovely article - yes it's from across the pond (not my part, but down southerly) but well written & just love the space diagram! Thought of your lovely girls while I read it!
    4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!! (24 OCT 2016)

    ...and now I have a mortgage! (23 AUG 2021)
    New projection - 14 YEARS 10 MONTHS LEFT OF 20 YEARS (reduced by 15 mths)
    Psst...I may have started a diary!
  • What a lovely article RT - thank you for sharing its quite an eyeopener.

    Me list is indeed on the go.

    Must update it but first, you guessed it, a brew. I have an eye virus, potentially from my viking cold which has been lingering around. Who knew that was possible. Certainly not me.

    Ay up Pipster and the stripey gang :wave:

    mum2one - thank you for your biccy recipe :D I realised that I have all the ingredients for them, as a lone bar of white choc, from MrL (bought for 17p on one of the 'half-price' weekends and stashed for 'cooking' - DP likes it) came to light when we were moving stuff from pillar to post to have work done on the house. So I'm going to have a bash at them :DPips - thanks for the linkie and for filling me tin :D

    Caz - I luvs minions and I lurves that pic! :T Thank you for making me :D

    Pips - was yer cauli a 'big 'un'? Mine was quite a tidy lump at 1.4kg from mrM in the end :D Well chuffed - especially as it was on a par (size wise) with the ones at our fruit and veg shop on the high street, but they still want £1 for them - a la mrS obviously!!! They also wanted £1.25 for their romanesco caulis. Whilst they were probably amongst the biggest I have seen (certainly bigger than M&$) that is quite a wodge of cash to hand over.........

    Hope your eye infection clears up - I'm currently experiencing 'tingly' sinuses and my right eye is tearing up for no reason, and I look like someones poked me in the eye too! Here's hoping all the cauli-based vit c will see any nasty bugs orf! :rotfl:

    Take care you!

    Edit: Totally forgot to add, I think that your menu planner is inspired! Inspired I tell you! I think that for November, I am going to have 30 days of 'Summat' :D

    Piquant recommends this, doesn't eat leccy and is very snuggly.
    I'm looking at 'some' of these for the children's beds and our bed... assuming they are in stock when I go to ALDI. xx

    I'm not even going to look at that link, FA, I might never get up off the sofa again :o :rotfl:

    :hello: morning all :)
  • Hey ups sorry to post and run but I'm up and out early today at the beck and call of the DD and the DS

    Yes of course i love it.

    Will catch up soon

    All I can say is yay to blankets and cookies and cauli's (boo for being too expensive) and boo to pesky sinuses.

    I'm glad my meal plan of summat is working. We did indeed eat summat with chicken last night.

    :)

    Have a great day, more nonsense later. :) and thanks for posting you always make me smile you lot.

    xx
