Good morning everyone! OH has a day without work otday so is taking me for a coffee and cake in Tetbury. Never been there before so it will be great to have a wander around. Might not get so much done therefore today, but will try!0 -
morning!
Well we had a nice day out yesterday night, went off to codbeck with a picnic and acted like bears in the wood. Swainby was gorgous two and em ended up buying a dozen free range duck eggs for £2. Told OH at the last sec that the parcels hadn't arrived. His response, he gave me a hug, and said i thought it was that:o. He had the day off in the end as his boss was doing a course so drove to a little village, walked in the wet, had coffee and generally chilled out. He said he enjoyed himself.
Thanks for the birthday wishes peeps
Going to town today so put cheques in the bank and return books to the library. No doubt they will be a fine waiting for me, but not that fussed really.

Hey.... IT'S FRIDAY!!!!
A cheery Good Morning from the Stepford Wolf:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Winchelsea wrote: »Took him a chocolate orange and a nice card, as it was our 49th anniversary today!!!!
And a Happy Belated Birthday to Nannyboo while I remember to say it, too.
Gods know how I'm going to do today's list.... I can barely move in the [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] spare room.
The furniture in there comprises 3 bookcases, 1 video/DVD cabinet, 1 writing desk, 1 CoD, 1 wardrobe and a large wooden trunk. No problem there....
There's also, however, 1 crate containing all the membership stuff for an organisation I belong to, 1 crate of candlemaking gear, 1 crate of Dungeons & Dragons gear, including painting materials for doing the figures, a cool-box, a steam cleaner, the Dyson and the little hand-held vacuum, which live in there when not in use.... still no problem....
Add to that 2 crates full of HM jam, 1 crate of spare cleaning materials because there was a special offer on and I got them at 30% off, and a large carrier bag of baking supplies that won't fit in the kitchen.... getting a bit crowded now....
The crowning glory: 2 large suitcases and a cardboard box for food supplies for our 1st ever self-catering holiday.:D
Well, I shall just have to do what I can manage, and if Piggers chucks a mule at me, then so be it!:DIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0
