    Wonders to herself just how busy SGT is at the moment as could source some things in Estepona ;)

    Morning, PM me with what you are looking for, I make no promises, I can but try!! ;)

    WM on at the moment, cat fed, breakfast had & I'm showered :j. In fact this is the first time I have felt human in the last week :rotfl: I may have just got into the swing of this new life, it is the local Feria this week (Festival with big fair etc) at a night time in the Port area the teenage girls are all in their traditional dress, normally you would just pass them by when they are in jeans & t shirts, but when they are all dressed up you can't help but stop & admire them. We went out at midnight :eek: (in the UK I would be tucked up in my little bed fast asleep, but here it is just beginning), to a local Spanish bar where they were playing 70's music until about 2.30, then they started including traditional Spanish music, suddenly the more mature (my age) Spanish ladies appeared in their traditional dresses doing the flamenco etc, it was brilliant.:j I think we managed to get home about 4am, OH was at work for 9 :eek:
    I think WM has now finished, so I will go & peg out washing (with matching pegs of course :rotfl:) & then put in another load. TTFN

    Update on my 5 Weekly challenge tasks:
    1. Do the hand washing and those clothes that have special instructions
    2. [STRIKE]Investigate Year 4 syllabuses for September[/STRIKE] Lots of science topics that I don't like the look of there.
    3. [STRIKE]Apply for new driving license (change of address)[/STRIKE] Did it on the phone as the website wasn't working.
    4. Apply for new passport Got the form from the post office, filled it out, and found out that I can't apply until September as they only add up to 9 months extra on to your passport - I'm going to apply at the end of August and lose one month, as the fee is due to go up by £5.50 in September from £72 - £77.50
    5. [STRIKE]Change dental appointment as they can't do the original one[/STRIKE] Now on 19th August
    Tootles, what should I do about number 4? I know you said no changing, and I have completed the form which is all ready to go once I take a photo nearer the time. :confused:
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Can I have some sympathy vibes? When I fettled my wardrobe I decluttered my 25 year old beloved leather bike jacket. :eek: I haven't worn it for years & can't get in it anymore anyway, but it was such a wrench to part with it. I even hugged it as I folded it & put it in the bag. Lost youth I suppose.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Three loads of washing on the line & a bit more gardening to do today. Then we are off to look round some local open gardens & sample some cake!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend!

    Hugs Loshy - hope you feel better soon. If it's swine flu, you'll probably be OK. Just been speaking on the phone to a friend and her hubby's just recovering from a suspected bout. He felt pretty rough for 3 days and it took another few days to recover but he's back at work now.
