    Beat the debt~Might it be a good idea to change the dates of those DD's so they come out just after you have been paid?

    Oh yes, it feels as though she will go on forever - she is sooooo active, and pretty healthy too....just the odd cold now and again. Trouble is, that one day she will be gone, and it will leave such a big hole. So, making the most of her being active and healthy is a "must-do". She's off camping again next month.....:T

    it can wait another day sally - no point in trying it when you are tired....that's when mistakes are made.

    Evening - have just been trounced at Just Dance on the wii by DS !!! good workout though !

    have been down to bungalow today and had another clear out - one car load (and thats a Mazda5 with the back seats down) to the charity shop, one load to the tip and one load home, which was all flower pots full of bulbs plus two boxes of photos!

    Kids came too and so we had a pleasant time, with lunch in the garden in the sunshine.

    Glad you all had a good day.

    My Dad's stuff is still in my garage, surfbabe......I wish I had just got on and done it at the time, so I am truly impressed with what you have achieved!

    Mystery shop has been input, so that is £9 to come at the end of the month :D I've got no more booked in now, though, so hope that a few turn up over the next few weeks!

    well we have stuff in the loft from when DH's mum died in 1995 which obviously he has to sort - Im determined that I'm not bringing stuff home to sit in the garage or loft for years and years !!! In fact one of the boxes I found at the bungalow today has stuff in from when my Nan went in a nursing home in 1991 - contains photos and all sorts of stuff, so that all needs sorting as well - most of it can go but there was a book in fantastic copperplate writing , written by my great grandfather and contains his school leaving certs etc from the 1880's so it does all need looking at but I'm being very ruthless !!!!
