  • Thanks Marky :) I am going to be very embarrassed if I have to come and tell you all that I failed... but it's very likely - the pass rate is only 40%...

    Morning everyone,just popping on to say hi,been to my yoga class this morning,now ready for a nap LOL! housework needs doing,but I think I'll delegate others to do the jobs :D then we'll make a cake as a treat ;)
    Really envious of reading about everyone going on holiday,but hope you all have a great time,just hope you're not heading in this direction as we suffered flooding last night and it's STILL RAINING :eek:

    Good luck with the driving test (was it Daphne?)

    Part of the Furniture
    starving of hunger today, probably because i ate breakfast today... usually i don't go for lunch til after 1 o'clock but as i'm tres hungry i'm going to go soon.....

    I have nothing with me, so what to do...

    A) sandwich from shop, do not pass rest of shop which is temptation, only pay for sandwich estimated spend £2.50........ may not fill me up much though.

    B) Go into said shop and buy grocery type products to prepare a lunch... extra can be used at home... more MSE in a way but more temptation, estimates spend £5.

    C) go to chip shop spend £3 and no temptation - plus will be full up and yummy!

    D) go to lovely garden centre cafe, get nice filling hot lunch, estimated spend £6.... relaxing read a paper half hour lunch break.....


    decisions, decisions... i like D best! closely followed by C!!!
