Morning everyone
Not sure what my plans are for the day. ExOH1 is in the area - came down with his caravan yesterday so I'll meet up with him either today or tomorrow. Trouble is, we keep missing each other. He has no phone signal where he is and I don't always have my mobile with me....I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
