    I am loving the sunshine this evening and have spent most of it in the garden planting up some pots. I just need to remember to water them :D

    Another positive day at Pen Towers and work was good too. My boss was mega busy so I had some much needed peace and quiet to catch up.

    I did spend today as I bought some plants but I kept it under £20 and rescued some reduced to clear ones too that I think I can bring back to life. A lovely big pinky/red thing (can you tell I'm no gardener :o) was reduced to £1 just because it was lob sided in the pot! Just how lazy are people if they can't transfer it to a new one.

    Ironing is done so thats me for the evening, just chillin now in front of the box (and laptop). :)
    This time I haven't smoked since 6th Jan 2014 and still going ok.
    Fingers crossed x

    Hiya Moose, hope you're ok - will catch up with everyone's diaries in a mo.

    I had a slow and quiet day at work again, which was good. I have spent today on a game for DS but it was a well deserved one and he doesn't ask for a lot. Its a nightmare though trying to find fairly grown up games but at the right age level. I don't understand why they can't drop some of the language and violence so they can just been teenage suitable - would be much easier.

    DH is cooking as usual (mexican - yum) and I've got a bottle of posh elderberry pop in the fridge as I miss my Friday bottle of wine. I need something AF to drink in a posh glass!

    I'm getting my hair chopped tomorrow and I think I might get it all cut off and change the colour. I'm going to trawl through some magazines in a minute to see if there is anything I like.

    Have a nice Friday evening, Pen :)

    My hair is now quite short and blond - used to be dark brown shoulder length - so I think there might be a few comments at work on Monday!

    Weather is just so gorgeous I've let a couple mates talk me into going out for a few hours now. Hopefully I can stay AF ..... we'll see :D

    Enjoy the sunny evening :)

    The hair certainly got a few comments last night!

    We've had a lovely day in the sunshine. We went to a friends for a BBQ earlier and it was so nice to sit outside all afternoon and just chat and not do a lot.

    I did buy a few groceries today, rolls etc for work lunches but that was it.

    So a nice hot sunny lazy day :) (oh and the hair is still looking stunning - even if I say so myself!)
