      Afternoon all,

      Big hugs for AnW's Mum, Miss A & Master W, you've all been in my thoughts today.

      Zero flying to report today :o i've been to the dentist and for lunch with my Sisters and Ds2. Ds1 is making me a coffee now and if i'm honest i'm not sure if i'll get much more than dailies done today. I'm in that kind of mood.:cool:
    6. FRIDAY ALL DONE

      The Bloke has phoned to say that the car (which had a teeny 10mph bump into a parked car when it was being reversed in the snow - it suddenly found a grippy bit) is a total write off as the chassis is buckled. The parked car is costing the Insurers about £750, if that, they even offered a renewal quote of hardly any difference from the old one.

      But Bloke's motor was obviously engineered to self destruct at the first thump.

      I think I might get my way and have a Volvo next.

      And I'll do the driving :D
      I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

      That's better Soappie - I hadn't commented but then I was avoiding looking at her -

      all washing dried - I have some ironing to do and some iropned and aired to put away. Trying to get my head round some planning now...

      Jojo sounds like the bloke's car is also a bloke IYSWIM - 'crumbling' at nothing!
      apparently there has been a 'run'on 4x4s can't think why
      (would roll eyes but we have been deprived of my most favourite smily!)
