    Morning!

    Well my house is a total tip, the boys and OH have totally wrecked it.
    So need to redo the list. :mad:

    Been out the past few days trying to sort placement, tax etc so its been hectic.
    Anywho just popped on to say hi, hugs to those who need or want them. Glad sandy is okay, i'm sure she's just resting after chemo.

    Back in a bit, if i get the mess down.;)

    Where I live....it's small, desparately needs a new kitchen & bathroom and decorating, but I still love it, and we live in the middle of nowhere so it's easy to be antisocial :D, but on the outskirts of a town so I can get what I need easily & quickly, and then go back to being antisocial ;)


    I seem to have few needs and wants so it's easy to feel content..


    My MSE ways have finally rubbed off on DH and we can actually live on our income and not the credit cards and still have enough cash to cover emergencies and little treats (after years of panic this one cannot be underestimated)

    Just taxed the car online (£5 cheaper than the renewal notice said - need the 'confused' smilie) and now waiting for MOT date. DS2 and I are finally dressed, so we'll be off out in a minute. Have to go in the car, as we need some more eggs. It would be a nice walk to the farm, but not enough time for that today.

    Toots - I've finally remembered to wish you a lovely day for your confirmation tomorrow. Hope it's as special as you are.

    Well so far today I have

    put away the ironing mountain
    cleared the kitchen, wiped the surfaces, loaded the DW and WM,
    pegged out a load of washing

    and now I am about to write a shopping list and then brave the supermarket

    HUGS
    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last

    Well as Miss A has tld you we are here and having a great time. We brought the sun up from the south and are going to try and hang on to it but so far this morning it is a bit gray and overcast.

    We are off out to help plant the Easter Garden at church shortly and not sure what just yet this afternoon.

    Hope you are all behaving yourselves :p not really had time to catch up with the thread.

    Toots says hi and wonders if the whip needs cracking with the stars! She is asking if there is another toots that might be around to catch post 3 tonight if we are still gallivanting around ;)

    GTG (Miss A speak!) Later gators xx
    Sorry we haven't managed to hold on to the sunshine, but you are with a lovely lady in the best part of Britain and enjoying the Fair City so I am sure you will have a super time.
