    Morning All

    Well Its quiet to-day, due to my rain dance working, even if it is a day late. I'll show you the moves at Stonehenge Herby, cos it would'nt half be good if it rained on their great big telly, and you'd get entertainment watching them run around trying to save it??? You need a thingy to shake though.

    Declaring early to-day cos still too grumpy to go out.

    I don't mind Wombledon, but I'd rather just eat strawberries and drink champagne until the final, can't really be bothered with all the other stuff, and all that grunting makes me feel nauseous!!! Hubert will think he's related!

    oooh and sorry about England, but Scotland kept the flag flying last night by beating Argentina in Test Rugby, a win and men in shorts with big muscles, what more could a girl ask for???

    Got my 3rd NSD yesterday.

    Am hoping to get my 4th today. Will be tough to reach my target this month but am confident I can do it.

    Woohoo, NSD no 9 today...and we made money too!!

    Got to the car-boot by 7.45am (far too early for a Sunday! :o)...with it finishing @ 11.30...only 7 cars "booting", but a few folk were buying...we made a profit of just under £80!!! That's after paying the £5 pitch too...so fantastic!! :j:j We didn't buy anything at all, was tempted by a couple of things...but resisted!!

    Gave the boys £10 each as some of the stuff we sold was theirs. Have kept £30 back of the loose change as the next float, and will exchange the rest for notes tomorrow. We plan on doing another car-boot on a couple of weeks since we have the stuff together already. Will have to root out more stuff, will no doubt find LOADS about the house!!

    Now, a question...can I use our profits to pay for the rest of the month's food etc, thus saving me from breaking my GC target? Or should I save it and use it on our holiday in July?? Still not sure about this.

    Right, off to do some more stiching...not got much energy to anything else!!

    Enjoy the rest of the day...before the rain comes (in case it hasn't arrived already!).
