    We finally got some sunshine today :j but it's clouded over again now :( and it's very very windy. It's nice not to be as cold as it has been, though. Today I'm only wearing two layers instead of three.

    It was good to see the sun wasn't it.

    It has been so warm today that I've even ditched the thermals! I know how to live, me, lol.

    Well, I really pushed the boat out today. Splurged £2.65 on a spare part (replacement internal hose) for my Dyson vacuum. ;)

    Thanks mrs m, and also catshark, pink poppy and Radish. You're helping to keep me on track. :)

    After yesterday's extravagance I'm not sure if I'll need to spend any money today or not. I have a nagging feeling that I said "we'll have to buy a ....<something>" to my kids yesterday or the day before, but can't remember what it was. Oh well, expect it will come back to me if it's important.

    Happy Friday everyone. :)

    Nothing to say sorry for, pink poppy. Visitors are always welcome on my thread whether they post or thank - either way I get the encouragement of knowing somebody is reading. :) How is your MFW quest going? Have you a diary of your own? If not, do start one. Even if you end up posting inconsequential details a lot of the time (as I do :o) it's still a great help to staying motivated. :)

    Hello to misscousinitt too. :wave:

    Forgot to say last night - yesterday I did the "getting deafened while eating but being there to back up the dinner ladies" thing again, and got another free lunch. :)

    Hello to mrs motivated, Octobergirl, Peonie, pink poppy and Radish, and thanks for stopping by. :wave:
