    Morning everyone

    its a bit cloudy here at the moment but looks like the sun will be out later.

    JoJo sounds like a great time and well done with your first bass lesson - if you really want one I am sure you can put your mind to paying for it -you have made a great start with your 'swaps' already.
    Toots I'm glad you had such a grand day. I never knew you ventured out of old style!
    Dusty honey - you are right I very seldom stray from our thread or OS - I wish I hadnt as i was horrified:eek: that people could write such spiteful/horrible/downright nasty things on a public forum about someone else - it certainly put me of going on the discussion threads.
    PenPen thanks for the suggestion - will have to think if I can word a thread - dont want shot down in flames!!!! Its good to hear that you have had brilliant service from your insurance company it certainly helps to get over the trauma of the burglary far easier.
    Mumto5 glad you had a nice day - it far easier when you can get everyone roped in to help - hope they 'oblige':rotfl:
    rach thats great about working from home - that should be so much easier for you - what a good boss - not like your last one!!!:D
    Valli well done at the quiz
    Holly you are meant to be taking it easy so why has your extras list grown:eek::eek: hope you are feeling better.
    pigpen you sound brighter today - did you sleep better?
    G&B hope you are feeling better today - do you still work at the weekends?
    mummyyof5 hope you are feeling stronger today (((hugs)))

    I am tired after my day out but only intend to potter so should be fine - cleaner here in the pm.

    so far.......

    1 x WM on
    recycling out

    I am off to water the garden as i didnt have the energy to do it last night

    see you soon
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    You may know this already, but if you ring for a DLA form, you'll get it dated, and if your application us successful, the benefit will be back dated until today :) You have a few weeks to get the completed application in.

    I've already done loads in the garden :j (washing hung out, polytunnel watered, all veg now planted out, strawberries netted). I'm going to do a downstairs whizz HHC 10:40 - 11:10 then more coffee :j
