Including a last minute week away as part of an excellent project that I am pleased she is part of but is a time sucking thing we hadn't factored in. <br /><br />Lovely update. I like the planx stuff. We've got a construction kit that is just planks and connectors that I could try doing that with.

Or rather, she wastes a lot of time on things that are fun and enjoyable (mostly on iPad or reading fiction books), but are not what she says she wants to do. Then she gets stressed as ill prepared or behind on workload that is mapped out weekly in order for her to take the exams she wants to take in May. Not a great problem from my pov as if I know in January she is mega behind I won't pay for the exams and she can do them the following year. But she'll be majorly grumpy and mad at herself if that is the way it pans out.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11672124413416292432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813696.post-62829370096346036402015-09-08T16:00:26.764+01:002015-09-08T16:00:26.764+01:00Gorgeous looking holiday :-).

The window, locking and wing mirror all failing which suggests electric issue. And it's a brand new car - fortunately covered by Volvo and wouldn't cost us even if not under warranty as it is leased but still a major pain to have to sort as of course you go in to the dealership (obviously as this is my world, it is not in our town or even nearby towns, but in the middle of nowhere so I have to sit and wait and wait and wait), they have to order parts and then I have to go back which has taken a few weeks to do so, in the meantime I cannot lower the window. Have a slot on Friday so hoping all will be sorted. Also :-( to finances. There is always something. I have water coming in the house which is highly depressing and highly expensive. Just trying to remember the sunny days xxMichellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11672124413416292432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6813696.post-64023429267447161422015-06-12T10:52:01.574+01:002015-06-12T10:52:01.574+01:00Happy birthday Stitch!

Ma...Ah the big 'how to store eggs' debate! Many an argument over that. My understanding is if in the US they should go in the fridge because they wash their eggs which removes some protective coating, allowing air to permeate. Then for best baking results you have to remember to take them out of the fridge to warm up before you use them. In the UK we leave that coating on the shell as we don't wash 'em so they don't need to be refrigerated. Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11672124413416292432noreply@blogger.com
