    Could someone post for you?
    I have also heard of good results from Twitter but I don't do that.

    Took DD2 prom dress shopping yesterday. All done and dusted, jewellery and underwear. Just need to book hair, make-up and a fake tan.


    just ran 6.3km so a very sweaty betty. OH is going to sort out some listings on our ebay shop and hopefully list some more items. Might go over to the workshop this afternoon as there are 16 items to post and possibly more later on.


    DD1 is coming back tonight, she's going lambing with her brother for 2 days and then starts her own lambing job. DD2 has also got a lambing job arranged for 1/2 term so all busy.

    DS2 has passed his driving test! Whoop


    Just need to get the mini sorted which is currently SORN. Need to do a few tweaks get the MOT, tax and the dreaded insurance.


    My niece was supposed to be getting married in July, however it has been cancelled as he's been playing away. Words fail me. Where are peoples morals?????


    I went lambing with DS1 last night but it was very quiet so came home at 11.30.


    Had a day off today as a chap was coming to look at the windows. Slowly, slowly they are doing things but not actually doing anything if that makes sense. They've had lots of people round looking at stuff but not doing anything.


    Spent loads of time at the weekend doing lots of paperwork, so felt quite virtuous.


    Going to the lakes a week on Friday for a week. There was bit of a mix up. A dear friend booked it for us and we thought it was a weekend and then the paperwork came through and its for a week!!!! Had to grovel to the school to let the children off. OH is going to come for the weekend as we are too busy for him to take the whole week off. DS1 isn't coming as he's lambing. DD1 will arrive on Sunday night after doing a shift at her work.


    The business is busy but we are having a bash at selling some classic cars. Currently have a Triumph Dolomite and a stunning Mini to sell.

    Exciting times Not sure I know what a Triumph Dolomite is but it sounds impressive What era were they made? I do remember the original minis though and have driven one.
    Hope your L/L gets on with the repairs.
