    Morning! *Hugs* to all who need them.

    Well, I met the parents last night, and they are just lovely. I'm so happy, we had an awesome evening and managed to get 2 4 1 meals, so saved a little bit too. OH paid for the meal, which means that the money I budgeted for that can go towards naughty MBNA card.

    It's a beautiful day here, shame I'm in the office but never mind. Have a great day y-all! xxxxxx

    Avo - Glad it went well - meeting the parents is always daunting... I got to meet DH's parents, his 2 step grans, his brother, sister inlaw, grandad, aunt, 2 uncles and 2 cousins, all in one go....that was fun.....NOT.

    Lenza, sounds lovely - I was thinking about doing one of the walks that goes round that way, think it was the Cleveland Way?

    Awesome, another Yorkshire lass. :)

    My garden now has another washing line. It's a bit pants, could do with being higher, but at least it's in the sun. I can get my housemate to fix it sometime though, he's a bloke, he'll know what to do. :D I'm kinda ashamed that as an ex-Guide, I can't tie a decent knot though. I just had to triple knot it the normal way and hope for the best.
