OrangeFairy

No they haven't suggested anything at all :mad: I can see it so easily....i was so sure she would be out in 10 minutes and it would be done! She is such a pickle! Hopefully will be out quickly from the pre - op appointment tomorrow....i have taken enough time off this week with DD1 being ill!

Almost finished taking photos of 15 items for ebay.....so hopefully a fair chunk of them will be sold!

Bag of baby stuff that I forgot to take to daughter's on Tuesday


I'll make a determined effort tomorrow to find some things, although I'm food shopping in the morning so will probably need to rest in the afternoon to recover!

Keep going everyone, you're all doing really well.!

AND - In the process of sorting out travel docs and stuff for will writing appt with solicitor (complicated so not a DIY job) found £120 in my travel wallet! Thought it was a few euros and dollars from last trip (makes me sound like a right globe trotter!!) but it turned out to be the ££ that had been in my purse that I had swopped round for the $$ when we left UK and forgotten about. Doh!! (or should that be dough?).
So I dont need to go to bank for cash today and I am about £450 up on the grocery shopping this month - virtual campervan fund looking good:-)
