    Great news re the bonuses, lets hope some of it is left over after paying THEM for a small reward.

    Those cottages look lovely, though I would most definitely plump for the French ones.

    Hope you are not too worn out by your exertions today.

  • Oooh - great news on the bonuses. Even better news that you can finally be rid of THEM. I am very impressed that you have undulated for two days in a row, I did some pilates and ballet. I will undulate tomorrow though. When you make your final payment to them, please let us know and I will mobilise the troups - I mean troupe and the belly dancing gang will all undualate together, while drinking a toast to our bessy mate, at a specified time to ensure that we are indeed undulating in unison (we will have to remember to lift up our veils of course before attempting to drink the wine)

    I love all your freedom houses, can we come for our holidays?

    I'm off to bed now, leccy blankets on and the kindle awaits.

    Night Night and we will speak tomorrow.

    Your undulating belly dancing magic hatted friend Dorothy xx:rotfl:

    ps I hope we hear from Robin soon, I am becoming a bit concerned.

    (now recovering and trying to breathe normally again)

    Great news re the bonus and finishing THEM off - please take something from the bonuses for you to enjoy - cheap and quick get away for an night or weekend somewhere? Dinner at a favourite place? You both need a reward having climbed that mountain!

    Well done you - I hope I will have booted this lurgy into touch so will be able to participate in the undulations and wine tasting ...

  • The houses look fab NL. I have been googling houses to rent in Perth today !! I have a distinct urge to up sticks and for us all to run away and start again . :D

    Great news re the bonuses, but as has already been said maybe oyu could spoil yourselves just a little as well.

    So glad you have managed to give some more the THEM ! I am desperate to start to make a dent in our tax but as no 8u$$£rs are paying us still its not happening. Grrrr !

    Hope you have a good day today x

    The undulations and the wine tasting could be quite an interesting mix combined with whatever medicine you are currently taking ! Not that I am condoning it of course, but it could give Dot some competition on the crazy belly dancing front !

    Hope you are on the mend soon x

  • Can do what? Undulate and drink wine through your veil by osmosis? If so, can you teach me please?
