    We started doing car boots when our circumstances changed about 5 or 6 years ago and would not have managed without them. We did them for a couple of years or more, then stopped as it was getting too much for me with my arthritis, etc. Late last year, Mr 3Dogs started doing them again, on his own really, under Permitted Work alongside his Incap Benefit. There are always people who will buy your disgarded gear ;)

    Yep. it was great. A bit fed up with my sister. I asked for her help with something and she let me down. Again! Why break the habit of a lifetime hey.

    I might have an early night. Very tired and long day tomorrow. George emailed he is recovering from illness last week and trying to do his project but finally realising he is exhausted. Poor guy. He deserves a looong rest. I sent him about 10pages worth of a letter of stuff he should do to put himself first for a change.

    beanie: Im behind! but i kind of like to be, i get to prolong the joy of the programme a bit longer. I love fred too, its the accent!! I'm watching the one where they've gone to the ritz and they're carving at the table. Oh and the £20,000 bottle of wine! I'd love to buy a bottle of wine from 1986, don't think that will happen!!
    Talking of wine, when i went to Paris, matt and i bought a cheap bottle of wine called concorde for 1.50 euro. A year or two later we're in asda and we see concorde listed under english wines!! Ha. It wasn't as cheap here.

    Have a good night sweetie. Bless you. We are all in the same boat maybe that's why we enjoy being here. No stresses and we can chill.
