    Welcome Jimmi pop your feet up and I'll make some tea to go with those rock cakes......might have to make some of those myself now that everyone keeps talking about them. Wish I had my Nan's recipe for them.

    Busy day today - drove in to OH's place of work to leave the car. Two hour meeting in Islington which should only have been an hour......jumped back on the tube to go to another meeting on a site at Kings Cross - that one went fine and I was even made a cuppa by the Project Manager - oh I'm honoured! It was then back on the tube and a ride out to the far reaches of the Northern Line at Edgware - we did a big installation of portakabins on site a fortnight ago and I wanted to call in to see if there was any snagging or anything they needed.....would have been nicer if my mapping programme on the PC at work hadn't told me the site was a mile from the station when in fact it was more than 2 I reckon!:mad: Got back to OH's work to collect the car but just had time to dash into the pound shop.....2 packs of facewipes, two lots of MF cloths (have decided to take a pack on holiday with us - how sad is that?!) and a 5xpack of toothbrushes which look exactly like the colgate ones so should be OK.

    Am now trying to decide whether to just into the car and go to Tesco.....it'll save doing it tomorrow I guess.....hmmm. Might even be some bargains......:confused:

    Hi Morwenna -

    Was just thinking of going to bed when I caught your sad news and just want to send love and support. I have pm-ed you.

    To be frugal, you need to spend money wisely, simply spending less is not enough.
    If you can't handle me at my worst then you don't deserve me at my best...
    Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the little voice at the end of the day that says I will try again tomorrow.
