    So Mr Z is an ecoooonomist sharing Mr Keynes's desire for the long run.

    Not exactly...Keynes needed a good slap for much of what he said - *especially* a good hearty slap for: "in the long run we are all dead."

    And another slap on top, just in case any of the previous slaps had been sub-standard...

    Have been teaching for last two days as kids have lost so many bank hols and college is scared the results will be affected. Still they keep feeding me sweeties so i am happy.

    All is good hope you are resting etc. So Mr Z is an ecoooonomist sharing Mr Keynes's desire for the long run. Never met an economist/undertaker before. Cool.

    I see porge next week!!!! If you get an emergency email asking you to rescue him please ignore it!!! Gotta go. Happy easter. Hope to be back in the next 2 days or so but it depends when IT Andy is back from his hols and can fix 'puter thingy.

    Good luck with fence, do chill if you are able and enjoy fab weather while it lasts.

    I was just thinking about you today and wondering where you had got to.:D

    Porge will no doubt be fine and survive..i will ignore all emails about being tied up and whatnot.:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hope you get computer sorted. x

    Well it was an expensive day, as i knew it would be.

    Car went in for MOT and full service- should have been £180 +VAT, i got it for £150 all in:D Don't know why i am smiling but there you go, not as bad as i thought. I did ask for a discount three times, as my 20%voucher ran out in Dec..well he gave it me anyway.:D:D I have to get my brake discs done at next interim service, but i have plenty of time to save up for that.

    It is DD2's birthday tomorrow, so Voucher and Harry Potter DVD bought.

    So that is me wiped out..

    Tea was rather lovely, HM wedges, salad and HM burgers:D Plenty left for tomorrow.

    Birthday Tea will be Lamb Henry, with assorted veg and new potatoes followed by Jelly- yep, DD2 loves jelly:D

    I am making muffins for birthday cake with a variety of toppings- which will be tastefully arranged.

    So that is the plan. One fence panel fixed, it is all i had time for today.

    :rotfl::rotfl:No it is a bit like one of those articles, where we get used to a higher price, and think it is a bargain if it is a lower price:o Even tho it is still expensive..there is something in that i think..:think:

    Well today is DD2's birthday, i have bought everything and made a rather luscious birthday cake :) So just got to do the obligatory running around after said DD and then we can have a nice evening.

    Mr.B has been away, so will be picking him up tonight- not sure what time he is arriving but i am sure everything will be ready by then.

    Hope everyone is having as nice a day as i am. Bob x

    Thank you Squizz :) I feel so very lucky that my children still want to spend their birthday with me. I do enjoy making their day special.x
