CLEANING!!! Oh crap! I have to do that too!

I'll miss Zellers too. I just ignored their ads. Half the time out of stock? More like 80% of the time. But, they had good enough prices that the sales weren't important.
Add me to the group. I don't have baking but I have a very cantankerous slipper that doesn't want to be crocheted and is needed for Saturday morning as well as some snowflake washcloths, cleaning, present wrapping, card writing for the family, phone calling and if the slush from the snow will let me out of the house, a ton of errands!Sounds like we both need to get started!
I lucked on two jars of Tahini (1 pound each) Regular price was $12 a jar, they were on clearance for $5 each. Then I had two jars...I don't eat it that fast, so gave a jar to a friend. She tried to pay me for it and I had to get grumpy with her.
I usually don't bother making it, just adding seed, too. But I do use it often enough that this won't last. Of course I have to get the oil stirred down first. I'm going to use Addie's trick of turning it upside down for the day.
Today's list will need to include:
- gingerbread making
- shortbread baking
- maple cookie baking
- nuts and bolts toasting - DONE
- present wrapping - DONE
- decision making on the desserts for Christmas - DONE
It took me a long time to learn to accept gifts with graciousnes and a smile. A simple thank you and let them know further down the line how you used the gift. Like my wonderful red stool that has saved my hip and spine a lot of pain. I keep it right next to my low countertop that I do most of my work at. Perfect height. And a foot rest to boot. Luv it!

Glad you luv it!
And I love my little bento box that someone sent me! These days on my diet it is getting a lot of use because I need to have many small meals of bland food - the box inspires me to make it more interesting and fun! I have said thank you but can never find the words to say to them how much it means to me.
I have done a stack of ironing, a heap of washing and now just waiting for mum to come over, she is running late
It is a lovely day here, may have a coffee now and sit out in the garden
Continuing to work on the dreaded Christmas baking.............
Thank you for the encouragement. Looking forward to getting 2012 behind me.I feel for you Simonbaker, this task is so hard to deal with when you are trying to change your eating habits. You are doing such a great job though, so try not to let this baking get you down.
Thank you for the encouragement. Looking forward to getting 2012 behind me.
