Whoops

So much for the items listed in etsy - they were removed because of infringement! I had to laugh at this as there were lots of other people on etsy doing exactly the same. So maybe I'll go and sell on ebay or freecycle?

So what have we been up to this week - well I thought I would have time to blog a bit more but I've been cramming in stupid amounts of housework, taking the kids swimming at my gym after school. Cooking meals from scratch - I made some lovely red pepper soup today and everyone loved it. Many thanks to Vicky in Australia for that recipe - she's given me a recipe for Turkish Delight cake. I've got the ingredients for that so I'll be making it later this week after we finish of eating the cakes Phoebe brought home from school. Yum Yum

Emily has started at the local playgroup, and she loves it. She goes there most mornings and one afternoon, and the rest of the week, apart from Tuesday, she's with her childminder. It means I can go back to work full time now - which is a bonus.

My last uni course starts in two weeks time - so I'm going to try to pack in as much of the allotment as I can just now. I should have a Bsc in something by the end of the year- whoop whoop!

I need to start to dig in some of the compost and get some seeds planted for the first crops of the year. We have some great plans for the allotment - hopefully Beckie can keep me right on what to plant and when we should be in for an excellent year of fresh veggies and maybe some fruit if we are lucky.

We are looking at putting our house on the market some time soon - I think its time we gave up on the council getting the garage next door to adhere to the jet wash opening times. So fingers crossed we can get the house tidied up without too much cost and find somewhere a little bigger, thought I doubt we'll find anything that has a great garden like we currently have. We could go for a similar aged house and possibly find something that has a great sized garden - ideally it would be fantastic to have a completely walled in garden so the kitties can run around outside and have more freedom. It would also be nice to move in somewhere brand new - that would be exciting.

I wonder what this year holds for us all. :)
