Thank you for that plant link Matymoo, I just had to be nosey and have a look. I have spent some pennies, I went for the fritillaria, some mixed hiacynth, and got the tete a tete for 8.99. Very happy with that:j
Well the car got fixed this week, £120 ending up with an injection specialist having a look, but wasn't going to find a second hand pump, and I did look, but I think this worked out cheaper anyway.
Pippi, I envy you your toddle up the lane with peedie and coffee, although I only have about a 5-10 minute walk to open countryside. It is meggy is so hyper when she it taken out it is difficult for me to manage both of them, so when dh is at work I usually go out twice:cool:
Well I am hopefully on the downhill straight with my course another week and I have to submit the test paper.
So I had better get started:DMy finances are work in progress.Normal veiwing will resume shortly0 -

Yay to Mr F arriving early :j:j:j
Can't believe how lucky I am to have Rodders :j Not a peep out of him on the way home (stopped twice to check he was OK), was a wee bit strange for an hour or so (but it didn't stop him eating his tea) and then he cried for 10 minutes at bed time before settling down for the night :T
Has been much more playful this morning but snoozing on my lap now
