    Hello well done on carboot and DRO. It hasn't rained properly here yet just a few droplets earlier but the clouds are gathering.

    Steve and Andy had showers.

    I went to Mr A and bought some whoopsies. Wow! salad for 40p!!! 2 avocados for 90p, and a few other goodies!!

    Am in pjs now. Just debating whether i should do some unpacking or not? This is stuff that I took out of the garage that has been sitting in the spare bedroom for a few weeks! :o

    Have just done two bags of unpacking that took 5 mins! I have been faffing about this for ages. Silly moi!

    Off to bedski will do some more later.

    We are always putting things like this off and yet they are never as bad as we make them in our minds - well done for getting some done and for your whoopsied bargains too :money: :money:

    I have been doing the dishes and sorting the flowers Mr 3Dogs got me from the market/car boot - they are lovely, especially in the vase I got from Kit, Steve & Andy last month for my birthday ;);)

    Ever looked at your stuff and thought how much carp do I possess? I am going to have to be ruthless. I have lived without this stuff for a year. I dont think i want most of it and am giving most of it to charity.

    How much money have I wasted on expensive carp i didn't need????:mad::mad::mad:

    Am watching Come dine with me. :o

    You're right Kit, if you haven't needed it when it was packed away in the garage, you gotta ask yourself if you need it at all :money: :money: Says she with cupboards and boxes full of stuff like that :o:o

    Beanie hope you had a good day. Do you know any nice computer people by you. Our IT guys are friends with me and pop round when i need help. Can DS ask at his college for help to rescue the poor 'puter?

    I was in bed watching Come dine with me. I have found my shorts. Except they are a size 6 and 8! No blooming chance. It is easier to get rid of them. I need a good clear out.

    Well we shall celebrate it when we meet again. I promise.

    We have to celebrate you being 21! We are all 21 on this thread.

    I just rang my (unofficial) uncles family - he died of cancer. My phonecall lasted 6 minutes. 78 years old and all i could say was sorry. Put's life into perspective for me. I always feel down and this has made me think.

    We must be happy people there is so much to celebrate.
