    Morning Taxi! I like the sound of doing something nice every day - *especially* the free things, because so often they're the things that money *can't* buy. Birdsong. A sunny day. A dog asleep curled up in a chair. Lovely stuff.

    Afternoon all...
    I've had a lovely relaxing day today so far.
    I had a walk to the office and deposited subs cheque.
    Went into town and spent my Evans vouchers ..I had £110 worth and bought 3 tops and 2 pairs of trousers and only needed to put £2.50 towards it....so very MSE..lol
    Then I sat at a table at an outside cafe having a cup of tea and the salvation army was doing an outdoor service...so listened to that...and just sat people watching for a while..cost £1.50...

    Had a look in Boots and spent £32.50 ...Woops....

    Came back and had a lovely tea..chicken breat,veg ,mash and gravy cooked by DH

    This was followed by a nice phone call.

    Am just going to do a bit of housework now before relaxing for the night x

    Hope you've all had a good day x
