    How wierd is this, I've just double checked the address on the post and I recognised the surname. It's my friend's dad so I know where it is and can safely return it - spooky as he's the only person I know on that whole estate of about 200 houses!

    Well done Sal. Did you manage to get B into the local school or on a scholarship. I missed the end of that tale. It's looking like its all starting to line up nicely for you.

    I am still trying to clear the house. On Friday I go and see the Halifax to get a few months payment holiday until I get a tenant. WHERE'S MY TENANT?

    Pepe, that's a close call.

    Sal, it sounds a great job where you can take advantage of your craft knowledge?

    Well done Sal - that's great news! Bet you can't wait to start now.

    Everyone else....will catch up properly when it's legal (ie....when I'm not at work :))
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Sal, that sounds like a fantastic job, and right up your street.

    Pepe, hopefully it wont be too expensive, but it's got to be cheaper than dealing with a burned down house!

    Butti, fingers crossed you get a tenant!

    Travel training went well, just got a bus into town, had a coffee and mooched some shops and came back. Tried to pick up my prescription from Boots but surprise surprise it wasn't ready.

    Going for a nap now before my drum lesson. I'm sick of it taking an hour and a quarter to get there in rush hour traffic so I'm going to go a couple of hours early and get on with my OU work in their nice comfy waiting room - kill two birds with one stone.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    good afternoon

    Its sunny blue skies and a sun trap in my back garden, so just doing washing,

    my neighbour just ironed some curtains for me and her hubby has taken down ones that need washing and put the clean ones up, plus he sorted my tumble drier :)

    got a few packages come through the post this morning so hopefully its what I need to finish the earrings.

    Sally congratulations on the new job!! Making jewellery gets addictive by the way. *dreams of having a shop of my own*
