Feeling very proud of my kids tonight - Jordan for being able to talk to us when he came round after school and for worrying about Anais and Anais for dealing with a tricky situation at school all by herself! It is nice they can look out for themselves and each other.
Grrrrrrrr today at our fuel supplier for putting prices up. We didn't get the stove with the intention of using less gas for heating etc......... we just wanted a real one to make the heart of the home. Now it is starting to look like it was a very savvy financial decision too if prices are going up. We had £311 refund three weeks ago as we had overpaid throughout the year. It came as a nice surprise and paid for all of the logs, so we are looking at it that using the stove this year has cost us nothing!
Last night while I was watching "The Paradise" and "Downton Abbey" I finished the knitted scarf. I sewed the ends in this morning.

Weather was rubbish this morning, I got soaked taking Roman to school so abandoned my plan to go shopping for a cushion pad to do a crochet cushion cover, that project is on hold for the time being.
Anyone want to take a guess what this ribbed crochet rectangle is for?
I did two rectangles (that is a clue!)

It is made using two strands of yarn and a 6mm hook to make it quite thick and chunky.....................
I made crochet fingerless gloves for Miss A for Christmas to go with her scarf!
Here is the other side....
Roman saw them and he wants some now too, even Mark wants some for driving in, looks like I am going to be busy!
Thanks Nicolette for the pizza bases, we made home made pizza when Anais came home from netball practice, tin of tomatoes, rest of a pack of ham, red pepper and cheese, yum!

Anais made a quick chocolate cake (22p packet cake mix, one egg, 60ml milk, teaspoon vanilla extract and tablespoon of cocoa powder). They really enjoyed this.
.........and finally, cheering me up on a miserable day today is Fred my lovely stove who had the lounge so warm earlier Anais and Roman were wandering around in just their vests and p.j bottoms, a spicy ginger bread scented wax tart which just makes the house smell "warm and winterish" and my pretty floral Cath Kidston mug.
