    alas it is not my tree house! But if anyone wanted to buy that and the main house you'd have to find more than a few coppers :eek:

    Enough procrastination from me, been chasing interest rates hence being sat here, need to go and sort some washing and ironing while waiting for fence panels to be delivered.

    ETA thanks Dusty, I am sure he will be fine :)

    Dusty - We've got so many bugs going around our school its ridiculous. There's a stomach bug and no matter what precautions they take it keeps coming back :confused: I'm starting to wonder if someone has cursed the place or something when they knocked the old building down, and built this new one. There never seemed to be any bugs like this going around when I went there. :confused:

    Morning all

    Denise NZ - 'check the Sallies' I'm guessing this Kiwi speak for something but I don't know what - could you translate please?

    Soappie, Justamum is correct - Sallies = Salvation Army :) I got my awesome computer desk from them a couple of months ago, too.

    mozzy - Poor dog is having toileting troubles tonight . . . :rolleyes: Why am I not surprised LOL. She's a Lab, so what else should I expect! Will now make apple pies at the weekend after I've done some more pastry.

    Off my list I have:

    Tallied my budget so it's now ready for pay day tomorrow
    Begun updating business books.
