    Yay!!! The arrival we've all been waiting for :D
    I hope you get back to your long posts like you used to MemoryGirl, they're really interesting.
    I moved into a new flat a few months ago, and it came partly furnished but we couldn't afford new furniture, so I got a few bits and pieces from freecycle, one was a chest of drawers with the paint all peeling off it, so I sanded it and painted it.... never done anything like it before but was inspired by this thread :) And it turned out really well, a few people who've been to the house even wanted to buy it :D I'm only 21 and I don't think a lot of people my age are into doing things like that, so thank you memorygirl for inspiring me to do it! Might even have to put a picture of it on here sometime.
    Anywayyy good to have you back and I look forward to reading your posts :D

    I'm another one eagerly waiting for MemoryGirl's next update :)

    In the meantime, I have made her marmalade recipe. Very easy and I now have 4 "Bonne Maman" jam jars full of marmalade cooling on my window sill. The smell that filled my flat as it cooked was fantastic. I'm planning to make it as part of Christmas presents this year :)

    Hi is this thread still going? I noticed memorygirl hasn't been on in a few days, just wondering if it's been moved somewhere else? hope not. It's truly inspiring.
