Christmas Fancy Dress

Its that time of year, where someone at work gets given the job of organising the annual christmas party! Some people jump at the chance for the responsibility, some hide under their desks in the hope that they won’t be asked.  Which ever type of person you are, why not consider having a fancy dress christmas party!  

After we lived 1944

When we planned living in 1944 we ha no idea what life would have in stall for us.

I planned to blog and tell the world our every move but i never had the time, working full time, and spending all my spare time either cooking or washing up, the blog etc did get negated.

I have updated it today best i can and hope to have some free time to post a few recipes etc that we used.

as a family we lost just over one stone in weight!
