    Morning Tilly,

    Dreary day here today so might as well sit at the computer and get some work done. Need to contact all my DD companies tomorrow to switch them over to S123, but as I have to stay in all day tomorrow anyway because a laptop and tablet are being delivered and need to be signed for, it might as well be done then!!

    Hope you're having a good day.

    Grey here too, hope the few miles between us has brought you some blue skies :(
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    So glad Mr. T has had a great first week ... and that you got through your grotty day too!

    Sunshine after the sand storm eh?

    It's darn chilly here ... I have vest and socks on and am eyeing up the central heating switch as a Sunday "treat" to self!

    Our heating went on last night for a couple of hours and is defo going on again this evening, in fact fairly shortly.

    I think it's warmer outside today than inside actually. :)

    Oddly enough, it's possibly the first warm and sunny day in Glasgow of the year!

    I am slightly cheating. It is currently 24 degrees and I may just be sitting in the sun, with a gin and tonic by my side :j

    Fabulous day, church service was restorative and we caught up with lots of friends. A little DIY shopping and both Mr T and I have been outside, doing jobs in the sun. When we eventually retire at least we can spread the jobs out.

    I'm off to pick some veg and then we're popping over to some friends for dinner.

    It's a hard life :) and it is SO much cheaper than the UK.

    Best wishes, Tilly x x
