            Morning folks
 Happy Saturday! Looks like lots of fab mse activity going on. I hope everyone enjoyed thier wine 
 @jadewest94 - you sound so positive! Keep going!
 @allydowd - you can eat those frogs! I actually have two plastic frogs on my desk that were given to us on a managment course as a reminder to eat the frog
 @DawnW - you sound busy in a really productive way
 Well it's pretty nippy here. could not get warm yesterday and smart meter was showing shocking amounts of money spent. Still, it is what it is! We went to pick the shopping up yesterday and took the car for a short run to keep the battery charged. Most disconcerting to find that the car and house, and our neightbours car and house appeared to be covered in red spatters. My neightbour was convinced it was bloody bird poo but I thought it was either actual bird blood (the buzzard got something perhaps?) or something that was in the gritter when it went past. Either way it wiped off easily.
 Plan today is to get out for a walk I think. Have avoided it for a couple of days due to cold weather. Also need to do a NEBOSH section before OH is up.
 Other plans involve finishing my jeans off. Just need to put the hems on before I can wear them.
 Have a good one all

            Hi all. Not been on for a while. This lockdown is getting to me a lot. Home working, home schooling etc..we all know the stresses. Paid more off the loan but the monotony of organising my monthly budget to the nearest pound is getting to me. I have treated myself to some new clothes in the sales recently.
 Hope everyone is doing ok.5

            Well done @jadewest94. Will you be closing the cards once they are paid off?Less cold here today, but it is still chilly, and raining as well. Managed a dog walk this morning in the drizzle - dog was very brave about it Not done a vast amount apart from that but I have:Sorted out a cupboard upstairs and listed the contents so I don't forget what is in thereUsed 2 horrid black bananas to make 2 Mary Berry banana bread loaves. This makes a yummy cake, with chocolate chips. I also added some chopped walnuts as I have lots in the freezer, given to me by a neighbour who has a walnut tree in his garden. I will freeze these two, as I already have cake in the tin. It freezes really well, so no worries about that.Wrapped another ebay parcel and did the form for the post office tomorrowSorted out my seed tin, and packaged up spare packets to send to DD.
