    Don't know why I'm posting in here really as nothing much happening.I've been quite tired the last couple of days since JJ went home so have had plenty of rest.My hip was really sore yesterday for some reason so I had to resort to taking pain-killers....it feels a bit better now....
    On the plus side I think I will be able to make an over-payment of about £240 on the Barclays card this week....so will be quite happy with that.Apart from that not much overpaying going on.

    Fab news on the payment. How are you doing with returning to full fitness? I hope you are fully recovered from your busy weekend last week.

    The weather down here is supposed to be good today and for the weekend, but today, although dry, is incredibly windy. Certainly not blue skies and sunshine! Oh well, at least it is not raining.

    Fantastic news Taxi - you're a star :D

    Hope all is well and that your hips are ok now and that you're not having to use too many pain killers.

    Hi you 2....thanks for the concern...my hip is feeling a bit better now and I'm not taking any pain killers..so that's good....weather is the same here dry but windy...but looks like rain...
    Had JJ yesterday morning as his mummy had something to do but what I had to do I could do in the car and he gets in and out himself so didn't have to lift him....so that helped...only had him a few hours though!!
    Have to keep an eye out incase it rains as my washing is out!!!

    HI taxi

    I've got washing flapping on the line too - what a relief after the recent monsoons.

    Take care of that hip and well done for getting under 29k, that must feel good.
