Laura_Elsewhere said:@PipneyJane - many thanks for all your work, not just over the years that we've all lived happily in Much Mending on the Borrow, but especially this year when you've been so ill and yet somehow kept knitting, kept chatting, kept us all united and cheerfully making do and mending! And long may your own 'mending' continue!

Good evening All
I’ve liberated some questionable red wine from the cricket club’s cellar downstairs. Give me 10 minutes and I’ll have it mulled and drinkable again. Please grab a glass or mug and we’ll drink a toast to Much Mending On The Borrow!
Happy New Year!

We will be tucked up in the Morrison shelter with our hot water bottles and flask of tea very soon. The blitz has started early tonight, though not too near, so far.
I had hoped the strong wind would have prevented it tonight.
Wishing you all a safe and peaceful new year.9 -

Happy New Year. I have not posted for ages but this thread really helped me look at spending on clothes. I am pleased to say my spends were one t-shirt and one sweatshirt and a cape. And a black knitted dress that I will need for a funeral soon I think (bought in sales as have been looking for a secondhand one for a while). Was going to borrow from a girlfriend but that will involve a dry cleaning bill as I return the item as she is bound to lend me something I'll be scared to put in the washing machine so a cheap knitted dress seemed fine.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!7 -
Hi all, just to say no trousers found so carrying over 33.5 coupons
Happy New year everyone
Take care8
