Oh Mandy - Poor little Rosie !!

I really hope her paw is ok ((hugs))

NSD for me too after last nights ASDA disaster !!! DH has taken one of the little pots of Houmous, some of the quiches and a muller yoghurt for his dinner today so his lunch has cost us less than £1 as opposed to £4+ in the canteen - he also has an early meeting this morning which means he gets a free full English brekkie !!!

Off to check my Fly Lady lists.

Hope everyone has a good day today - looks like it will be another hot one

I've got peppers growing on my windowsill, (from a packet though), mine have taken ages to show through the compost but are now about an inch high, have quite a few so fingers crossed.

Hiya,

Not posted much as I was feeling a little sore after a painful conversation last week. But I have been reading and lurking!

Thanks to galactic green, Mrs Macawber and getting sortedSarah for the tomato tips, I feel reassured now! Lovin the potio apotment Mrs M :rotfl:

The truly scary sig situation feels still manageable, as I have enough evening meals til end of June:o. Also got bread ingredients for 24 loaves of bread and 2 weeks sarnies already made and batch frozen. So feelin ok:D

DH is out until 9 tonight, so have sent him out with lunch and dinner both in pack ups, so felt very organised that I was able to do this at a moment's notice!!

Hope all your challenges continue to go well, and hugs to those who need them.

Love,

Weezl x
