Another rainy day

This is part of my poor sodden  back garden  this morning, you cant really tell but its still raining hard, even the dog bowls have filled up overnight.  To be honest I dont like the rain very much and feel really sorry for the people who have to work outside, my daughter is a postie and although she gets sodden on her round her take on it is ' Im getting paid for getting wet' well I suppose its one way of looking at it.  Im just glad I work inside and only have to make a quite dash from the car park into work.

I havent really been doing much, my Xmas preps are still going on, and Ive now knit five pairs of wrist warmers, I have just to get a load of buttons for them and after Ive fully finished them I will post a photo.  I still havent finished the cake band and Im really getting fed up doing the same patterns time and time again, so Ive decided to complete one pattern a night until its finished.  Im also making aprons this year and bought a cheap plastic one from @oundland and Im going to use that as the pattern, I already have some material, but Im a bit scared of the sewing machine, I havent done any real sewing on it since earlier this year when I had a relaspe and thought I needed one!! lol mistake really I could have paid that money off the CC  but hey ho its done now, so I ought to get around to making friends with it.  I follow froogs and love her quilts and would really like to have a go, but I havent plucked up enough courage yet.

Im making a menu plan for the next 2 weeks today, and only decided that Im having fish, wedges and mushy peas for tonight!! I really should look in the freezer and create a few meals out of what I have in. I'll let you know how I get on with that, Im still trying to cut down on the spending and so far this pay month I havent been too bad, but I do need a heat pad for the guinea pig so I think I may be spending on that tomorrow, I cant have my baby going cold!

Anyway thats all for now, off to complete menu plan.  I bought a chalk board (only 1.99 bargain) so I will write all the days and meals onto that so I have no excuse but to follow it.
