    I'm thinking one of those cute mosaic (sp?) table and chair sets for the patio so I can sit and have morning coffee outside.....

    Sounds lovely! Once house purchase is sorted and we move in OH and I were thinking of something along the same lines as only a small garden.

    Hope NT membership comes through soon for you!
  • yes the sound of the table and chairs sounds nice, enjoy the sunshine while it lasts with morning coffees :D

    ARGH!! First child-free day off work and lovely table on patio and the flipping sun isn't out!! Hows that for sods law!! Oh well, need to do some housework anyway, boooo.....

    Need to go to the bank in a bit to pay some money off HFC - the table cost a bit more than half of the daydream fund (only a fiver though so I don't feel guilty :D) - I've got £40 to pay off, plus a couple of bags of coppers so hopefully that will drop down to about £350 overall :j:j it will soon be gone!!

    I do have another piece of news which I'm pretty chuffed about - I've been promoted to manager at the chippy!!! Get me :D:D:D!!! That means more pennies, better hours and at least 2 full days off a week :j:j!!

    Oh, oh, oh aaaand my course materials for the first module of my OU degree came yesterday too so I can kick my brain into gear too!! Yay!!

    Just need to sun to come out and for the housework fairies to come and the grin will get bigger :D!!!

    Thanks Happy :D!!

    I'm working towards a BSc Psychology - the first module is an introduction to the social sciences (which I thought would be really boring, but I've read most of the course material and I think its actually going to be really interesting!!) really looking forward to the next module that starts in November about the autistic spectrum, be something to really get my teeth into!!
