Day 14 - Making Space
Today is free listing day on ebay, so we've done a big tidy (sort of!) of the house and I'm listing all kinds of things on there! (Quick Pimp Here!)
This Dreamcast game was only put on recently, and I've got a buyer for £11! We put it on ebay on the off chance that someone might want it - didn't expect to get so much!!

Day 13 - being more adventurous
In 2010 I'd like to be more adventurous with my food, and what I cook. My love for River Cottage helps with this!! I got this wonderful diary for Christmas from my sister's mother-in-law. I've been reading it today, working out what's in season at the moment...
Apparently... Cabbages, Celery, Kale, Leeks, Onions, Parnsips, Swedes, Pears, Cockles, Cod, Crabs, Hare, partridge, Pheasant are amongst the yummy things!

Day 10 - My Fireplace
In our little 2 up 2 down, we have no 'real' fireplace... so instead, we make warmth with my beautiful laval lamp :) It's a Mathmos Glitter Baby. I love it.

Day 9 - Tuesday Evenings
Well, Tuesday evening is Slimming World night. My mother and I tootle along to Slimming World where we always have a good old laugh with the friends we've made.
We're doing quite well so far. Before Christmas I'd lost 3 stone 8lb. I've put a few pounds on over Christmas - but hey, I'm only human!!
But... possibly back on track now?! After 1/2lb gain this week - I'll see how I do.
Photograph for your delectation tonight is my Slimming World book - with my shiny stickers!
I'm very proud:

Day 7 - The end of christmas
Sunday... we went for a short walk early on at Tatton Park in Cheshire - a National Trust property. It was extremely chilly, but with the snow still on the ground it was rather splendid. The deer were out in their droves too - amazing!
I came across the cart below, obviously filled with bits of the Christmas trees that had been up in the house for the festive period.
I thought the fact that they were covered in snow was quite lovely.

Day 6 - Tea for Two and Two for Tea
Today I decided to sort out my selection of teas. There were certain ones that were quite old that I just didn't like, so decided to get rid of them.
I've now put many of them in a lovely storage tin, and had a look what I've got. I'm now sipping from a nice mug of Twining's Earl Grey tea - lovely!
So... here's my tea, all nice and sorted

Day 5 - Who's coming for dinner?
After putting out the lovely feast for the birdies, I was getting anxious that I hadn't seen a single bird nibbling away.
I was worried I was doing something wrong, or that they just didn't like me!
I got very excited when I saw this fellow pecking away! He kept coming back for more through the day too!

Day 4 - A filling meal for a chilly night
It was our turn for the feast tonight. I'm coming down with a cold, so wanted something that felt fairly stodgy, and comfort-food-like. So I went for the old children's classic:
Sausage (veggie), chips (home-made), beans and fried eggs - it was truly delicious!
(excuse the quality of the picture - it's from my phone!)

Day 3 - Feed the birds - tuppence a bag!
Thank you to some of the members of LLL for reminding me that we need to look after the birds in this cold snap. For info see the RSPB Website
In my kitchen I knocked up a filling feast for our feathered friends, consisting of sultanas, ground almonds, sunflower seeds, porridge oats and a glug of olive oil.
Here it is, ready to be served, doesn't it look yummy?!

Project 365 - The Beginning - January 4th 2010
This idea was given to me on the Little Lost Lushies forum, I'm just hoping I can keep it going!
I've done a few days in a row so far - so fingers crossed!
So, I started on 4th January:
This photograph was taken in the evening as I was waving some friends off after our regular Monday night board games get together!
The snow had started to come down quite heavily, and I love the tones that my camera picked up from the sky.
