2008, Year I take control

Penny2myName

Well to start my week off so to speak, I am going to make home made biscuits, twink's hobnobs, and a variation where I actually use crushed weatbix , so wheat and oat crunches.
Kids had ham and pasta for tea yesterday and today they had ham curry, so wrong I know but never the less they enjoyed it, I had veggi curry made with peas carrots and cauliflower which i kept aside in a bowl when serving up lunch today. Tomorrow the kids will have ham sandwiches with home-made soup. Then just need to figure out one more meal to use the last of this ham up.
Have moved kitchen around but still have one cupboard left to sort through and transfer contents to another one.
Last of this months debts comes out tomorrow, so then I can start on finding out my new total for this year, ready to put February's SOA up. Have positive feelings over Febs finances and am going to pay any spare money into ISA during Feb and March, at the moment it is very sorrowful with just £15 in.:o

Where did it all come from??? Did you kill a pig???!!!!

Hi Laura, No i didn't go killing no poor babe that goes oink in the night. At Christmas my father visited and brought me a large tin of ham (think he was hoping to convert my veggie ways) I personally have never bought tinned ham in my life. At least its used now, ended up giving the last quarter of the ham to the animals.

One hour to go before i start my sign language course:eek: I am sooooo very very nervous. Luckily for me I have a very intelligent DD who picks things up quickly, and she has promised to help me with my homework and practising. She had already taught herself the finger spelling alphabet before I even signed up.
Son was happy when he came home and spotted all his dragon ornaments and laptop set up on the new table at the bottom of his bed.
Starting to feel nauseas, once this first evening is out of the way should be fine after that. Also going to be getting complete information concerning the salsa dancing, especially as I have talked my mother and a friend into signing up too. Hey it will give us a Friday night out, and non of us really have a social life. OK with my heavy footedness it would be more like dance of the baby elephants, rather than light quick footed salsa.
