    NSD number 6 for me and another tomorrow hopefully. I stayed in today with 2yo granddaughter and made handprints paintings for everyone. After she had gone home:( I cleaned the living room windows including the curtains and slat blinds, hoovered and made dinner for DS and me.

    Tomorrow planning to do the kitchen blinds and windows, and if the weather permits cutting the hedge as its full of enormous stinging nettles:eek::eek::eek: Not going out tho a gorgeous pair of boots are finishing on Ebay tomorrow night and if I win them I'll wait a couple of hours (til after midnight) to pay:p

    :smileyheaHappy Engagement Slowlyfading - did he get down on one knee...was it romantic....did you have any idea....tell us tell us :j:j

    Thanks guys for the kind comments about that car, Kath - you made me realise especially that there are far worse things some of you guys are dealing with and that I really should stop wallowing. It is only a car, there's not too much damage, it's still fine to drive and still parked in my driveway - would have been so much worse had they stolen it (although when they obviously had that thought the dimbos didn't bother to read that it has an engine immobilser anyway ...morons!)

    Just back from Mr S - stocked up on a few bits for the week (errr...I am sure doughtnuts are essentials aren't they :o) and some kitty food too. All being well there will be a NSD tomorrow - car boot for me but NO SPENDING :)

    Congratulations SF what lovely news. Keri, you have every right to be angry about vandals who damaged your car, and sometimes it just FEELS personal. I have got into double figures its nsd 10 in chez invis no doubt tomorrow will be a spend day as I'm having a girly time with dd. Her hubby will look after mine for 2-3 hours. Looking forward to it too.
    Did some dismantling of old kitchen today, honestly you'd have laughed as I'm struggling to get various components onto a skateboard to move them, slip, catch, miss, swear begin again but eventually ,I gave up, admitted defeat and phoned painter paul to save the day.:o:o
