    Oh sweetie! Sorry! You do so much, I ascribed you about a billion successes :o :kisses3: :rotfl:

    The news is on in the background right now, but passing from that to matters of worldchanging significance, there's an interview about Emma Watson:

    "Emma reveals that she also carries a Five Minute Journal, which she writes three things she is grateful for, a daily affirmation, three amazing things that have happened that day and how she could have made her day better".

    Actually, I really like that.


    Positive vibes, all.

    Morning all :) oof, this is a little bit early for me on here :) Still, dishwasher was ready to be put on once I'd used my porridge bowl, more hedge tidying was done yesterday, and I've pulled out the "friends" cards I still need to send. About 40% of cards already sent, 5 more will help lots, but might need to buy some stamps, unbelievably, my remaining "collectors" stamps, first day etc, are getting to be quite awkward amounts now :rotfl:.


    Also need to walk into town, to pay the credit cards, and see if there's anyone there who can fix a phone, I never expected that to happen. And I'm just starting to collate ingredients for this Christmas nut roast :eek: that's a big deal for me :eek::cool:_pale_ :rotfl:

    :j found a diy page for black phone screens - I let it completely discharge, and it seems to be working again - I don't think its a broken screen, I think it may be the battery. Anyway, its working long enough to get the OTPs through from my bank and from Amazon, so credit cards now paid, and SB voucher credited to Amazon :j

    Now focussing on Christmas cards - I think I'll still need to buy some stamps, but I'll see how many I can get out before final collection today :) happy bunny now :)

    Thanks beanie :)

    Realised I have some "large 2nd class" stickers from ages ago, that I can surely use on ordinary 2nd class; since I don't sell individual items online any more, its a good use. Last post 5pm at the sorting office, walking distance.

    Plus, now my phone is back, however temporarily, I checked my big list, I've done:
    8/50 items
    and two half items (Christmas cards and presents).

    How is it done? I'm not quite sure :o :rotfl:
    Basically, there's a Jack Monroe recipe, but I'm using what I have instead of buying what she lists. So, I already have a jar of chestnut puree, and loads of cashew nuts (love both these). I'll buy some sage and onion stuffing mix, which is a great idea.

    A BBC recipe has loads more veg in it, which I don't want, but it also has 3 eggs, so I'll probably put one in, see how it goes. Thats the practice one, then another one for the day itself. I've been watching Masterchef Professionals :rotfl:

    How you doing, RT?

    Go you, absolutely :dance:

    I went to the sorting office to post my stuff, then bought the sage and onion for the nutroast, found some of the coffee I like at 40% off, that was good. Sort of meant to do another few this evening (12 more, thats all) but STrictly just started, if I take my eyes off the screen I'll lose the thread :D

    Enjoy your evening all :):):)
