    A whole load of rubber stamps scattered all over a parking area! No-one around and they were a bit grubby (but cleaned up perfectly) so don't appear to have been dropped recently. How odd! They appear to be unused too!

    Anyway, they will go in the draft cupboard ready for when DD is a bit bigger

    I've been Money Tipped!
    On Sunday at a car boot sale I got a huge (3lb) tray of mushrooms for £1. Now sliced up and frozen thank goodness! Also found a lovely wine cooler picnic style bag (new cond with labels) for only £2! Been christened already at the Katherine Jenkins concert on Sunday night;). Yesterday a lovely friend bought around a big box of paperbacks for us to have 1st choice from!:T
    Our days are happier when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind.

    A free coffee from McDonalds as I remembered I had one more sticker to collect when I was buying coffee for 3 of us, so I took the token off one cup, added it onto my collector card and handed it over for my free cup. Coffee tastes better when it's free :D

    At the weekend I found my spade lurking at the back of the garden so don't have to buy a new one. Remembered I have Lemon Balm growing in the front so have been making some tea. My neighbour who I gave some raspberry canes to told me her raspberries were ripe, so I hacked down the nettles in the back garden and found loads of lovely raspberries! Still got lots of work to do though!
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    Oh almost forgot last night was given mini sausages, scotch eggs and other nibbles plus some cakes from a neighbour who is going on holiday, so an excellent MS week for me and mine!
