How I did it
It made me
reassured 
How I did it: Made sure that I followed my instincts, followed good advice, sought expert advice and finally listened, really listened.Listened to my children and worked hard at keeping lines of communication open. Enjoy and let 'fun' happen with the children and be united with partner (at least in front of children) Read how I did it…
It made me
very happy
How I did it: First I had a garden of the size I could manage. Then I sat back and did nothing, when doing nothing I could see the light and soil conditions, wind effects and seasonal change. This helped me plan what I wanted. Read how I did it…
It made me
satisfied
How I did it: A catrostrophic event caused me to re-evaluate my life. It seems to me that sometimes only until it is too late do you really see the light.I have been waiting many years and had such low self esteem, that it was only until I had to take action did I really start living my life.

ie the kids, but I hate getting rid of things, just in case they may come back to serve. My most successful ploy is to get my husband to do it when I’m noit there and then I can never work out what has gone, tehrefore I don’t miss it!

I had two mad weekends, one when I made stews (for the freezer) and baked, and the other 101 ways with minced beef! Result the family are sick to death of stews and mince, guess I’m going to have to increase my repotoire. That’s the problem, I get stuck in a rut!
