Happy Birthday Macpep - I *think* I have wished you Happy Birthday on your Facebook, too!
I have just had my annual phone call from my local councillor to invite me on the annual river clean, which long standing Flyladies will remember I've done before!
( I accidentally went waist deep one year *shiver* and drip dried...:rotfl:)
BUT I was supposed to go to the LSB's and meet the parents tomorrow. I can do that anytime - I can only river clean (with support) once a year so I hope he'll be understanding...the river clean is SERIOUS flying and my annual *put a bit back into my local environment* thing. Oh and we get fish'n'chips for lunch, free:money:
so to do
Phone the plumbers
book the restaurant
ring A and accept the invitation to her party
[STRIKE]Check price for airmail to Italy:T[/STRIKE]
Invoice sent. Much amused as it was in Italian so I could only understand about a third of it! (Don't speak it but can follow some of it if I know the context;) I did write grazie though :rotfl:
find stuff I plan to e bay with a bigger starting price than 99p :rotfl:
Thanks Kaz
