    Yesterday the Lakeland catalogue arrived with a £3 voucher because I haven't ordered anything recently. The reason for that is I'm not prepared to pay the P&P cost so I ask DD to buy what I need as she lives near a branch. As the voucher can be used instore I'm looking forward to my next visit ;)

    Today DH had an e-mail linking to a voucher for a free bar of Milka chocolate :j

    Passing on the good fortune I used the Boots AC machine toothpaste vouchers to get 'free' toothpaste to donate to the chapel's foodbox scheme.
    I can cook and sew, make flowers grow.

    Got another!We have a 7 yr old Swift caravan which has a semi-circular sink. In these 7 years we have had holes in 2 basins which at the last count cost £25 each! I didn't like to throw the old ones out and today I finally found a use for them.

    I have emptied the hanging baskets of winter pansies and quite a few have survived. Having put more holes in the basins I now have 2 planters for the pansies. As they have shallow roots I think they should be OK.

    Was given an old oak bureau today from another MSE member. She found it at her local tip and drove an hour to give it to me this morning.
