    **RANT ALERT**
    Really annoyed with myself as I have lost my 'cash purse'. I'm usually very careful, I keep a lot in there in the safe but just put what I need into a smaller one. Thursday evening I was in a hurry so just grabbed it, I thought I'd fastened it back in my pocket but when I've gone to get it this morning it is not there (have used other coats since) so very cross with myself. Luckily all my cash/credit cards are seperate, I've cancelled Boots/Nectar cards, just my driving licence 'grrr' to replace I think. Of course not much point crying over spilt milk but the several hundred pounds I've lost will annoy me forever. I've called every shop around the area, police said call again Monday, I think I just need to admit it's gone, very few would do as I would and hand it over! At least I've been making savings on grocery etc this month, unfortunately I just won't get to see it/use it now.
    **RANT OVER**

    You just never know, I lost my purse in town in Bristol on a saturday night. The nex day a woman rang and said her son had found it. She brought it round to my house, everything in it, cash included, and absolutely refused to accept anything to say thank you. I've never forgotten that, lets hope someone that nice found yours.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Afternoon

    Just having a tea break from clearing the garage as I've hit the wall.

    We've done nearly half so not bad going, load for recycling/scrap store/charity etc.

    I had a much more enjoyable hour in the garden first and am itching to go out and finish what I started there.

    Grateful hugs for your whole family. Loosing a pet is so sad but just shows how much we loved them

    Lil_me of all people who deserve a purse to be returned you are she, hoping you get it back

    MoF have a wonderful birthday party

    Icecream man just came whilst kids were at the park in the next street, we knew they'd run back, something special about the first visit of the year. They know they don't get everytime he comes just on odd days.
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair

    Hope your purse turns up lil-me, makes your heart sink when you realise something like that has happened.

    You're doing well on that garage Dusty, you'll feel so much better when it's done. I love clearing stuff out but it's hard work on your own.

    The dog finally had a sleep on the settee. I cut the grass back and front and swept up, she appeared at the door just as I finished and seemed to think she deserved a biscuit for working so hard! Monkey.

    It's turned into such a lovely day, hope tomorrow is as good.

    Well I've had a bit of a wasted afternoon. At the end of my HHC @ 1 some friends turned up unexpectedly and stayed for 2.5 hours. We then shot off to do some food shopping and that was the day gone!

    Kids are just decorating a couple of aprons - 1 for my mum and 1 for my grandma.
