    have a great day guys and gals x

    Yeah that's my attitude with padding too...sometimes it's better to do a wee pad and NOT use the OD than use the OD :p

    Good morning all, thanks for starting the thread DNMS and Pixie! :)

    Well, I have had the most fabulous weekend, we are in Scotland, came up on Friday for my sisters wedding on Saturday in St Andrews, it has been ABSOLUTELY AMAZINGLY WONDERFUL!!!! :j:j:beer::beer: Then yesterday we drove over to the west coast to the inlaws, and staying here till Thursday, so its a little holiday really :j:T

    No sunshine here today as yet.....but am lying in bed looking out at the sea :D:D which is really fabulous....dont get views like this at home!!!

    So my DFW lists this week will be a bit different - over the weekend was a bit non-dfw :o hotel etc - but now time to regroup :D

    This week - staying at in laws - so at home everything is off :D

    - checked online banking - amazingly still some in there :rotfl:
    - will do all my comps :D
    - should be a NSD as not going anywhere today - all too exhausted!

    Cant think of anything else for now!

    Have a great day everyone xx

    West coast...lucky you:)...Two places to visit are Rag Tag 'n' Textile in Balmacara...they are a social firm and some lovely stuff working with folk with mental health probs and training them

    Also 2nd place (bit more north) - if it's still there is the Hydroponicum @ Achiltibuie (somewhere north of Ullapool)...

    Are you doing a bun and long skirt count yet? Those ladies tend to go the free presbyterian church which is very strict and old fashioned but an experience if you get chance to go.

    Was in Fort William the other week and know it's gorgeous :D

    And save me a piece of Nessie steak when you find him for my dinner LOL..Inverness is also fab and one of the best charity shops in the whole country is in Dingwall - coffee for 70p and a jumble sale upstairs with lots of bargains (think it's called the Greenhouse)

    Don't forget to take lots of pics and post the links..it's rain and overcast here too in the Deen - where has the sun gone and I missed my shot :( cos it was this am and I thought it was the afternoon - oops

    Hi Guys!
    I've missed you all so much, I've had MSE withdrawal symptoms! Move went really well and back at work today with not too much unpacking to do. My OH has extra holiday, so will hopefully carry on the next couple of days and I can help when I get home.
    Our house is gorgeous, a real grown up house, I love it.

    x

    How exciting sibles :D Glad to hear you love your new house and good to see you back.

    My secret plan is to get mine on the market this month or next. Think if we can sell it we'll move to a bigger rented place for a while to give us time to save a bit, or at least buy without a chain etc. Oooh, tell us all your housey talk. Exciting!
