    Ok yesterday I found my first bit of "road kill" 1p. I immediately bent down and picked it up. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come!

    I will walk to the post office to post 2 birthday cards and pay £16 into the bank.

    Things are mad at work and I am trying to wrap some stuff up before my holiday but I am not sure how much will get done.

    It seems as though hurricaine George is headed towards my cruise! Everyone is hoping that the path diverts and misses it.

    Road kill is quite good fun to collect. I've found a fair bit around the pay machines in car parks, also a few people leave their change in the machine, so I rescue it :o

    Hurricane George will make for a very exciting holiday :eek: Let's hope it fizzles out before it gets anywhere near you!

    I thought it was Hurricane George. I was wrong. It is hurricane Issac.

    I know I am bit behind as usual, but NL just wanted to say have a wonderful holiday with Hurricane George or Isaac. You sound liek you really need it.

    I'm with Granny though, I dont do feet either , and actually I dont drink as much as you would think !! Mr Pinot thinks I make myself sound like a Lush on my diary which couldnt be further from the truth !!!

    Have a wonderful relaxing time, you need to tell us where you have visited, I am very nosey when it comes to all things travel related ....oh and well done on the Visa Card Gift.


    See you soon x :D

    Hello Newleaf, :) I finally got round to visiting your diary, and see you are on holiday; cruising with Isaac - wow! I hope you're having an exciting rather than frightening time.
    Sometimes I really enjoy experiencing nature's more forceful moments - it helps put everything in perspective. ;)
