Me too
I have done that with some postcards as I like the travel pictures but means I also get to keep the written letter with it. :j

Hi Tilly
I see the brilliant work continues on the home tidying front and I'm so pleased for you that you have found that card and that you are planning to frame it, such a lovely idea and I know you will draw comfort from it ((hugs))
I didn't have any major Bank Hol plans apart from trying to relax but even I must admit yesterday and today have been particularly lazy but I'm not complaining; the only thing I am a bit disappointed with is that I have not managed an afternoon nap :rotfl:
Regards

Hi ATT, there were a few tears when I stumbled across the card, but in a good way I guess
Days of relaxation are definitely to be enjoyed, we all work so hard, we forget the pleasure in just being - you'll have to add your nap at the end of the day and go to bed earlier :rotfl:

Feeling very content and I am loving the fact that we control our money, rather than making stupid decisions and money (lack of it) controlling us :T

No it wasn't me who sold a book then couldn't find it, think it might have been Courgette
What a productive weekend you have had, we have just spent a huge amount on a kitchen today :eek:

Morning, the sun is out although it is sooooo cold. DD has had two runs this morning with the hounds, so they are snuggled in their beds having a sleep.
I am loving the study. I had a few jobs to do before work and it was so much easier. No wasting time hunting for things :T
We didn't get time to try out the Amaz@n book selling thing last night, so that's a job for tonight.
I've sold one item on eb@y so far - a few watchers so may attract a few more bids. I do however, have a massive box of stuff to upload. This will have to wait until the next FLW but Mr T and I are documenting them tonight, sorting out the confusion which is the RM charges and then they can sit waiting to be uploaded.
Back to work but happy to be doing it, knowing it is helping us reach our goal.
