ONE WEEK IN....

... to 2011 and so far so good.  I have done a review of how I am getting along with my Doings 2011 list which you can see here if you are interested.

This week we tried an amazing recipe which we will definitely be having again as it is not only delicious it's low fat too.  The recipe is here and it looks like this.

SO FAR SO GOOD!

I can't believe I am posting again so soon, this is very unlike me.  Since yesterday I have added a couple more doings to my list ready for they year.  One of which is the iphone 365project which is a photo a day from my Iphone.  I am more likely to do this rather than getting my DSLR out as precious goes everywhere with me and yes that includes bed and the toilet as precious #1 found out.

Today we went out to B&Q, we know how to have fun, and bought a paper log maker so that we can make our own Eco fuel ready for our log burner next year.  Our shredder died a few weeks ago so this is the replacement and it now means that we can recycle all of our sensitive paperwork without wasting electricity and hopefully it will save us a few pounds next winter too.
