    Hi Mrs P

    Hope the meeting with the bank manager was ok.

    Did get Mr P to help you move stuff to the tip?

    Hope the weather will be a bit better tomorrow, miss being able to put the washing on the line.:(

    Really need to try to do some baking this weekend, who knows I might get round to the Lemon Drizzle cake I have been meaning to make.:rotfl:

    Payday today:j so have been busy updating the old spreadsheets hope this month will be a bit better and no more car problems (Dare I ask how are the lights?)

    Sending back the part from the breakers tomorrow so we should get that refund soon.:T

    Right I'm going to watch some Friday night telly (and try to catch up with all the stuff I have recorded) hope to catch up later.

  • Mrs PG I swear you could settle all your debts by selling the rights to turn your diary into a sitcom! It makes me laugh out loud every time. What with flashing window cleaners and Mr PG's lycra I can already picture the BAFTA.

    If it makes you feel any better a couple of my friends have been caught doing a LOT worse than that by the window cleaner. I'll leave that one to your imagination :-)

    :wave: Remember me? I used to post on your diary many days ago. :rotfl:

    Sorry I haven't been able to post lately. It's a long story. I won't bore you.

    I hope your back is getting better.
    I haven't read your full post today but I saw something briefly about Mr P in black lycra. :eek: That must be an unusual sight.

    Anyway I need to catch up on your diary for today.
    Take care. :)

    Hmm...hopefully I can stick to ice cream makers etc and other useful kitchen gadgets as birthday presents instead!

    Seriously he does cycle loads and hes like a rake. so maybe Mrs PG you can reward your OH with a nice pair of shorts as a weight loss incentive!!!

    It's a brilliant idea and every stressed out worker needs a good bike;) Even the idea of taking it abroad is a fab one. Hope he doesn't let this put him off. He does need to buy a puncture repair kit and some spare inner tubes!
