    Thanks Natty I'm in as much as possible.

    I want to make a start on my Christmas window this week. DD has requested I do muppets christmas carol as the theme so it's going to take a bit longer than usual, plus I'm hoping something I'm going to try will stop the paint running/cracking like it did with the halloween window I did. I need this paint to stay until New Year not just a couple of days! I'm going to do a tester spot tomorrow to see if it'll work or not. ;) I also need to work out how I'm going to include the little things the kids like finding, like Father Christmas and his 8 reindeer (The kids count them, I have to make sure there's 8!:rotfl:), the snowmen and robins. I'm thinking a big tree with decorations on it may be the way to go.

    Paid stuff this week is scattered again, I have a delivery to make Monday, then books to collect on Thursday. Lots of admin to do as well, but I'm thinking a lot of that can wait until DD goes away at New Year when my to do list for the house/christmas is a lot smaller and I'm looking for things to do to avoid eating everything in sight :o

    I need to go and write my to do list out :wave:
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

  • I'm in this week. Hoping to flutter on some days at least.

    I am awake. Taxi in an hour. Trying to avoid going downstairs as I can't have anything to eat until after the scan...

    Thank you for all your kind words of encouragement. They are much appreciated. Scan is at 10. Will report back later.
