    Good morning on this frosty snowdroppy morning!


    Wow nine years, doesn't time fly? Can't believe how much has happened in our lives since we bumped into each other on here : )


    Well done on asking for help, as you say you can't do it all yourself, accepting help graciously is a useful trait (I wish my Mum had had it!)

    Trees down for a coupe packs of biscuits and some coffee, hot dinners.
    Logs chopped and house nicely hoovered and tidy.

    £65 this week for the walking/cleaning but that was with extra stuff.

    Busy busy week at work. In potentially both days at the weekend.



    Hope everyone is good. Must do a meal plan and potentially an online shop.

    Thanks Trog - hope you're cosy too.

    Worked a bit of the weekend, TOIL all good means the holidays are upped.

    And, talking of holidays April trip is now booked cheap flights and a cheap apartment which we've managed to coax a couple of chums into sharing so that's halved the costs. We've started to sort out a car too and that's looking quite reasonable.

    Post snowdrop holibubs - yay.

    And speaking of pesky white things, we've started the mail order.

    :D

    lunch sorted for me and himself. Also taking in extra soups and stuff fo the work food cupboard.

    Mutts have an apponitment with lovely walking lady today.

    All good

    Tea will be leftovers.

    Wood stocks are full.

    All good.

    Hope everyone has a great day.

    Cauli Cheese on the menu for tonight - I'm coming to yours!

    Our somewhat loose plan is to have protein from the freezer with veg from the freezer with rice from the stores! Further details to be determined...
