    You're welcome any time. It's not that far to drive :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    For those who are interested, it's free listing on Ebay this weekend. I have a load of stuff that I've been thinking of getting rid of, none of it worth that much but collectively I should make about £30. I have quite a busy weekend planned though so I'll have a wee think about whether to list it this week or not.

    You might not be able to sit in at the cup cake shop.

    Souk~There is a nice place in Rose Street called Sea Dogs that is very reasonable & very yummy.

    Morning folks :D

    Well it's off to work in Fresian Towers again this week, but I'm getting paid for it at least - time and a half too :D:D

    I'm only working until 1pm then I'm off to meet a friend for lunch which should be lovely then heading home to make some cards and Ebay some unwanted gubbins. I have a lot of crafty things which are "extras" so they will be going.

    I am about to put dinner on - I have a Lump O' Lamb which is getting put in the slow cooker on top of tatties and onions. I'm then going to whack in some rosemary and garlic and throw on some lamb gravy and frozen veg. By the time we eat, the veg will have taken on all the lamby flavour and should be most tasty.

    I got some money through for cardmaking and some from Mazuma for selling Mr Fresian's old phone, so I'm £79 up this week :j Some of it is going to be spirited away for treats at a future date and I'm going to try and get to the bank today to make another mortgage overpayment. I have a decent enough "what if" fund now that I'm not worrying about paying the odd tenner into the mortgage account. As of next month the focus will be on replacing the money spent on car insurance and road tax though :rotfl::rotfl:

    Have a good Saturday everyone :)
