    bails, buy the house and a mountain goat for the back garden. We used to have a beautiful, dainty goat called Violet. She would have been picture perfect.

    Can I come and visit?

    :T Ha ha perfect Whitewing! Your goat sounds gorgeous! Or I could turn it into a climbing wall and charge entry to the local kids :rotfl:

    Of course you can come and visit! :D

    Hi Everyone!
    Planning on having an early night.

    Good luck everyone over the next few weeks. Keep well, look after your loved ones and the pennies.

    And Bails-enjoy the trip of a lifetime. Looking forward to reading your blog.

    Lol at bails and cottage fever - :rotfl: Know the feeling , I probably drove Nyk round the bend when we were hoping to rent next door:rolleyes:

    grandma since reading the bb book I have been hankering after more kilner jars for the stuff I'm going to do for our own use(too expensive for giving away). Have just given in and ordered a doz litre sized from lakeland, along with a spice ball for jellies,some of the jar lifters etc, erm and a pasta roller also fell into the basket I blame Nyk for putting that idea back in my mind!!!!:rotfl:Now almost £67 lighter but had £56 left from my unexpected bonus last week after spending £19 on a grapevine:rolleyes: so only have to take £11 out of the £4000 budget. At least it qualified for free delivery:o And there was me thinking I was doing well satisfying my spending urge ordering some books from amaz0n with vouchers the other day.
    There goes my no spending week

    sft - Enjoy the adventure

    SFT - Hope you have an amazing time on your trip
    We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret and disappointment

    Hello, a long time since I last posted but have been quietly lurking :o.
    Love reading about all your dreams.I'm at the age when I keep saying "if only.......". But we are all wiser with hindsight. If you can then go for it ,if it's at all possible.
    Hope those going away have a great time.
    "Only" spent £60.40 so far this month,so not too bad. Having visitors (DD,DGD &DGS) at the end of this month who are stopping for 10 days ,so imagine will spend a bit more,But I do have plenty of vouchers :rolleyes:
    Take care,
