Well we have a new tutor for DS :j who is lovely and will be coming to us every Saturday, but it will mean finding a quite a few extra £'s each month. So guess who must start Ebaying later? Best charge up the camera.
Right, shopping list - check, DH with wallet - check, DS with coat/shoes etc - check, OK time for a supermarket dash then...:rotfl:
See you all later
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
