Happy Birthday MSGNOMEY, hope you have had a lovely day

LL hugs is all i can say, you can have a few of my spoons as well if you want xx
well went out today to DFS to look at sofa's, no intention of buying one and what have we done, yup bought one. However we have signed no finance, only paid a £150 deposit and have made them write on the sales contracts that if the house sale falls through then we just need a solicitors letter to confirm and we wont be held to the contract. We have ordered a 2 seater sofa, 2 armcharis and a pouffy with storage so need to magic up £1500 to pay for all that by next January as we are going for a buy now pay nothing till then deal. We will have the money it just means less going into the savings account which im not happy with lol

Done most of the tasks for today. DS helped out with dusting and the room smells great, having to resist the temptation to write in the dust though as his lordship might find it impolite!
Joy of joys, the missing library book has been found. I was worried sick about it as it was going to be very expensive to replace. Will keep aspiring to level 3 though for the next week and a half."A thousand candles can be lit from a single candle without shortening the life of that candle."
