    Just popped in to welcome LannieDuck to the thread.

    Nothing much to report at the moment - competition entries to date are 4,145 for the month of June with one day still to go! :)
    A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.

    Free - I will be joining you in that, it's soooo hot and the stupid cat insists on sitting on my leg! :@ She's pretty anti social doesn't like being stroked doesn't really like people but every once in a blue moon she likes to sit on my leg or right up next to me I don't dare move her, but why today! why when I'm practically melting?! :( Hmmph!
    I dislike summer.


    3forholidays - I never fail to be amazed by those numbers! How do you keep track?

    welcome lannieduck I know some food makes keep well and are makeable several months in advance but I only tend to do last minute cakes/cookies.

    peppapig I'm sure the flowers will be perfect smaller is def the right way to go thinking of you all

    pixtotts I'm sure your message was a huge help far too often people are afraid to share such personal experiences and when your currently trying to cope with something its a huge relief to know that your not alone and others understand.

    freespirit aww sound like the swimming lessons are going great must have made for some amazing photos

    ok so I caved and brought a pool for the kids today as its far too hot but I refuse to let them hibernate indoors just because its cooler.

    My local poundland have an offer on character towels £4 when you spend £1 or more they had frozen/avengers/spiderman & another girly one? fairly decent size/quality considering and might make a nice addition to a themed hamper
    lots of newer frozen/minions bits too well stuff I haven't seen there before anyway.

    Tc all and stay safe in this heat
    this year do something that scares you for courage is not the absence of fear just the knowledge that some things are worth the risk

    I have an app on my phone which helps me keep track. There is also a thread & spreadsheet over on the competitions board which we update as well.

    Freespirit I have done a total of 4,225 comps in June - 225 over the target! :eek: I'd better get on with the competitions for July as I need to get ahead due to being on holiday for part of the month. :D

    Oh, I just found this thread! 68 pages! Eeeek! Newbie here. I'll sit back and browse this evening.

    I can't believe I'm just getting started on organising Christmas stuff, but it's been chaotic this year.
    Saving, decluttering and doing alright.

    Welcome to the thread Pennydropped!

    Freespirit I feel sorry for the animals with this heat. Dogs and cats are going about sweltering in their fur. I bet the dog enjoyed the trip in the car! :D How did DD2 get on with the emergency last night?
