    Hi all, managed to declutter a lot of paperwork...well more like computer work today so starting to feel like I'm acheiving something finally.

    Also binned some mouldy bread...oopsy.

    WM x1

    Dw x1

    Booked tickets for Eclipse on friday, the girls and I are going so we can have a girly night.

    Then barbecue on sat for many folks in York which I'm doing so already prepared...burgers in freezer, getting a lump of pork and slow roasting it for pulled pork rolls, then some chicken and hotdogs and a few salads and dips and I'm away. :D

    Need to sort important docs.

    Get savings out.

    Convert to euros.

    OH has to inform AA and insurance we're going across the water.

    I'll keep fighting to download sat nav onto my mobile.:o

    Get some food packed as its expensive re the euro so we plan to take some food to save money. Snacks and drinks mainly.

    Erm, erm...that's it for now I think, hope everyone is well and dandy.

    Hugs to Piggers for being a weeble :p, Toots for your poorly wound and Lady L who I'm aware is still tryng to recover from Glastonbury. xxx
