    Morning all

    Thanks all for your kind messages...

    Weather is great down here so have got to make the most of it.. Can't wait to get back into work mode from tomorrow.. There is so much staying at home a person can take..

    Got a few bits to get from the shops later on and the rest of the day is all mine..

    Thanks all.. Just got back home..

    Good first day, looking forward to going back tomorrow.. I know it might sound weird, but it's nice to work with normal people..

    Need to pay credit card, book my car for service and MOT tonight..

    Cheers

    Monthly credit card paid off, however could not book my car in the garage I wanted, so I have contacted another garage that has been recommended to me.. Will see their quote when they get back to me..

    The rest of the evening will be spent on working on the project and I might throw in a bit of ironing to top it all off.. Oh dear, I live such an exciting life :rotfl::rotfl:
