  • How much more can there be? I note also that the day I am taking the whole year group to the park for their fun day and picnic it will be elven degrees with patchy rain. Fabulous.
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    Off to big smoke on choo choo later (wifi pirate :) ). Raining here, not there. Freezing here, not so cold there. What do I wear? Am perfectly warm and cosy in my PJ's and dressing gown (since 3pm yesterday :rotfl:), considering cancelling the meeting :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    :rotfl: Yes, and am STILL dressed now :eek::eek::eek:.

    A bit of a trek for one meeting but a good catch up with a major client and he liked what I suggested :T. Just as well as was planning on doing it anyway :rotfl:.

    Our non-food and recycling bin was full of maggots :eek::eek::eek:, some food must have ended up in it I think. I put it in the back garden after it was emptied and lifted the lid - the robin and blackbird had a great time :T. Will need to give a good clean at the weekend - as Natty and Ed would say - boak _pale_

    Tough couple of days coming up so could do with some light relief - where are you Natty :D.

    This goes so well with your signature about a positive attitude underneath it, made me laugh out loud!
