    Glad it's not just me with the woodlice KC :rotfl: :rotfl: I was going at it with a hammer and chisel, so needed to get them out of the way rather than give them an almighty headache! :eek:

    Look at my new signature :D

    (Mr Daffs gave me £30 towards last month's diesel last night - straight into patchwork fund :j :j :j)

    A good way to start the day! :D :j

    Nice start to the day indeed! Oh the woodlice - when we were chipping the old concrete off the wall there were loads making a run for it, and a millipede that kept hiding in the next bit of wall over until I got there and disturbed it again - slightly embarassing that I noticed the neighbours were out in their garden when I was going "come on Mr Millipede, go that way... no, that way.. silly millipede" :rotfl:

    Just came back in to chatter away about nothing in particular and spotted my signature and felt all proud :D :rotfl: :rotfl:

    In fact, hang on, there's some more to add to it! :eek: how did I forget that?? Best sort it out :D

    Right, that's better, another £20 into the Patchwork Fund - that's the last of last month's diesel from Mr Daffs, and means the Fund is up to £308! :T :T :T And my goal for the month was to get it to 25% - so that's nciely done too :D Probably won't have too much else to add to it this month - although it does get my spare train fares, which may well be £48, which will tip me over to 26.1% - hooray! :j :j

    (from now on I'll be adding £400 a month to it, so it should grow pretty quickly!) :eek:

    Working working working today, and getting nowhere fast :o Sneaked off for cuppa with friend earlier, so should really stick around til 6.30 - not too long now. Pulling fingers out for a productive last 45 minutes - I know how much I can get done in 45 minutes if the fancy takes me! :j :j

    Then it's a nice run in the sunshine, and a leisurely evening of preparing for Scary Weekend adventures :rotfl:

    Run done :j :j :j :D And cornflakes eaten :D

    Futon, duvet, crocheted blanket, patchwork quilt, and a big pile of cushions in the car :D :rotfl: Blinds are all fitted (black on the outside (stealth mode), gold on the inside (glamour mode :D). Have made a cover for the inside of the windscreen (pretty rudimentary, but I'm on a campsite, so don't need true stealth this time).

    Just about to have a quick bath, then need to, er, do things like directions, clothes, and finding the darn flute! :rotfl:

    Sorry, bit slow but is this your scandinavian weekend or a weekend with Mr Daffs? Love the sound of the conversion for the ex guinea pig mobile. Very luxurious. It reminded of a caravan site that I read about in the Guardian travel supplement and have longed to go to here I just got my little travel notebook out to look it up. Must put it onto my list.
