1) Making the first footprints in the snow in our cul-de-sac.
2) Hot Buttered Crumpets and a cup of sweet milky tea for lunch
3) Getting some more of my cross stitch done (although I really need to pick it up again)
4) Using up leftover sausages and veggies in the fridge to make jacket potatoes with garlic and herb baked beans for tea
5) Rediscovering my Old-Style ways after feeling like I've drifted a lot.

Oh my gosh...I need to share my happiness... I don't know if freecycle counts as OS but it is giving and sharing and encouraging re use which is pretty OS...but anyway, I got my first thing from freecycle last night, and I grinned all the way home. I've needed a new printer for ages and asked after one that was offered the other day...I went to pick it up and the lovely chap gave me a scanner too...what a star!! Made my day!

Well done nyksig, of course freecycle counts as OS, it is one of the OSest things around in fact!

Enjoy your printer and scanner and pass something on that you no longer need (and make someone else happy!).

I have been grumpy the last couple of days. Participating in this thread helps me focus on the good things in life and all the valuable things I have learned on this board.

1) Taling leftover chilli for lunch
2) Knowing older 2 sons could fend for themselves when they were sent home from school and I was at work.
3) Having my mealplans done 4 weeks in advance
4) Learning so much about my spending from joining the grocery challenge
5) Making my first ever soup from the ingredients I have rather than from a recipe. And it tastes good!
6) Making more vegetable stock in my SC to freeze.

Sorry Primrose, I don't take in floors to scrub, I don't do mine that often either, usually just a quick flick with a mop but that's dirty cleaning really and the floor looks so much better if I get down on my hands and knees.

1. Resolving to try harder to keep the kitchen floor looking really clean.

2. Having a good tidy up after a week of sewing and card making, looks like a different house. Did DH come home and say 'This looks like a different house'? Nooooooooo.

3. Making lemon curd to use as a flavouring for HM yogurt.

4. Using up some gluten free flour which I had in for when a friend (on a gluten free diet) came to stay. It's ages out of date now but didn't house any sort of wildlife so I made spicey apple muffins and sultana scones. Both have turned out quite well and I will eat them as they will suit me better than wheat does.

5. Lovely vegetabe fittatta for tea to use up my bargain eggs.

Bella.
