Pootling along

I really have got out of the habit of updating here.   It is really only intended as a bit of a diary for the girlies so I guess it's not the end of the world if it's not updated regularly.

Anyhoo.  What have I been up to?  Not a lot really as the girlies have been sharing their lurgies.  We had friends over to play yesterday which was nice cos I do love a gossip.

Other than that we've been hitting the books, doing our ding dong Avon and slowly clearing some clutter.  The weather hasn't been great so no trips anywhere exciting.  It's been nice to get the kitchen straight and we've been making soup (thank you Paula), choccie cake bits and baking up a storm in my new bread maker. 

We had a breadmaker years ago but it gave up the ghost and we never replaced it.  The recent snow made it tricky to get to the shops and it was even harder to find bread on the shelves.  I'd forgotten how much nicer it tastes which is bad as I'm not supposed to eat too much wheat.

Ooh, I did manage to hit my first half a stone target.  Go me!!!

The girlies are grand and have rediscovered their love of Barbie.  A younger friend came to play and all the Barbies were liberated from their boxes in the garage.

Think that's about it for now.  Leaving you with an oldie that always makes me smile from Miss Muffin's 2nd birthday and Charlotte would have been coming up for four.

Beautiful photo of the girls:D

How's the Avon going? Glad you're still doing it.

Hope you'll share any yummy recipes you make with me:) I've never had a breadmaker but my Sister has and says it's great. I think she sets it to come on in the morning so she has a fresh loaf ready. Homemade is so much nicer than shopbought anyway:)

Just checking, did you get the books I sent Saturday okay? I got your ones thanks, looking forward to making a start on them.

Have a great eveningxx
