    Hi

    PenPen - your in-box is full.

    My internet is working again and I can't work out what the problem is. At least I've got the provider's number written down this time, so I can phone them if it happens again.

    Yesterday I went for my eye test, chose glasses and collected them just two hours later. :D I also sorted my budget for this month (must talk to NN about e-bay as I'm not managing to save enough), started to plan holidays for next year and made a start on the passport application for the school trip. And I decluttered 4 episodes of Bones from the sky+ box (last series :eek:) whilst doing stuff online. Not a good day for flying, but the other stuff needed doing, too.

    I won't be able to catch up with the thread, but should be able to keep up with it from now until Sunday. I hope everyone's ok and is having a good week.

    MrsCxxx

    I love the idea of a post van, is it one which takes you to other villages like Postman Pat. Oh I love Postman Pat - original not the new one. I am a cross between Mrs Goggins and Miss Hubbard :D


    Hehe, I love our post van too. Our post office closed down during the big cull so now we have a van which drives around the villages and is like a post office in a van. Brilliant but sad. Still the lady in it is lovely and my age too so can always have a laugh when I go there.

    Anyway since my last post all I have done is fetch in the wheelie bin and eat some soup. MUST MOVE!!

    Back hall now all cleared and christmas box finally up in the attic. Clean clothes folded and put away and WM on again. DW on and recycling put out.

    Rhys is away with my sister, hubby heading away now so i have peace to get on with our bedroom. :D

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    DS2 and I had lunch - pitta bread with cucumber slices, grated cheese and 'flat carrot sticks' (DS2's term for slivers of carrot done with a veg peeler). Followed by cuppa/biscuit and a bit more of MG's thread.
    Anyone need some target practice for mule flinging? I'm here. :o
