    Morning Elfen and all who follow

    Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better Elfen. The weather was sooooo nice yesterday and it's all dark and gloomy here today.

    Had confirmation of the amount of the PHI payment that will hit the account tomorrow, it's double what we thought :eek: :j So will be debt free, be able to do the advanced payment + adaption costs on the new car and have proper grown up savings.

    It's not quite sunk in yet. :D

    Great news Pooky!

    I've just had a call to say my new car's arrived, I'm picking it up tomorrow, I knew I shouldn't have put petrol in the old one yesterday!
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Morning everyone,

    Pooky that's fantastic news, you and family deserve it. Are you going to do anything nice to celebrate?

    I'm a tad sleepy, had a really horrible dream; it was scary.

    I've got lots of stuff to do but realyl can't concentrate.

    Claire, I hope you feel better soon.

    Ames, what car are you getting?

    Lots of love,

    Just checked the bank, got to go and put money in before i get a bounced direct debit.

    gonna pop into tasco and pick up some stuff to do some baking later, ds1 has asked for apple crumble, ds2 has asked for rice pudding, and i fancy having a go at saltana bread that was on memory girls diary :)

    Then I'm going to try and update the website :) need to go though the jewellery and make sure whats on the website i still have ;) and hopefully add a load more :)

    Will keep me busy for a few hours, so see you all later, hope everyone has a good day.
