    Hi all - i hope everyone's ok :)
    Loving the sunshine - a good excuse to have two ice creams today :Done choc magnum & one strawberry &clotted cream ice cream mmm.
    I'm now chilling with a magners & am feeling quite guilty as i had a BIG impulse purchase today. I bought a boat :D tomorow i'm going to be pootling down the river dart or around the bay :jI'm slightly worried about what OH will say, but then it's my money that i've earned and saved (we too have joint & seperate accounts). OH's out tonight with footy lads so i may tell him when he gets home, as he'll be rather drunk i expect. Then tomorrow i can remind him that tonight he thought it was a good idea :rotfl:
    It's been so quiet on here today...

    Wow Em, that's some impulse!! Sounds wonderful though - I presume you are talking about a full sized boat and not a paddle boat on a pond or a remote controlled miniature one :p I can just imagine you out on a lake in the sunshine with your picnic and wine, furiously paddling with your feet :rotfl:

    haha that's a great image, i can actually imagine me doing that too! It was totally out of character for me, i'm usually umming and ahhrring about a £5 top and then will tend to put it back. I think the sunshine went to my head! Can't wait to use it though and my stepdad thinks i could get my money back on it, so that made it easier to justify. How are you? Have you had a good day?

    A great day thanks Em. Nothing as exciting as buying a boat, but lots of sunshine and a nice chunk of lying in the sun. I have missed the sun soooo much!
