    Plans - let's just say they are up in the air but either way will work out to be good news. I had hoped it would all be done by now but the journey has changed again - all for the good though.

    Best wishes, Tilly x

    Hi BookWorm, lovely to see you, hope all is going well with you.

    Things are ticking along ok thanks Tilly

    Funny enough following on from the mentions of PC - I've had another survey come today. Perhaps they were having a summer break? ;)

    Bites are much better thanks Tilly.

    Re: RM surveys, I've done 2 x 6 month stints, one of which turned out to be 8 months long, I think sometimes they have trouble keeping up with themselves!

    It's lovely to think that you always have your mum in mind with your home. We joke with my mum about the henhouse being her granny annexe-in-waiting, but we know that the day may well come when changes need to happen to keep her safe and well (my s.dad is a bit older than she is).

    Well done on the weight-loss and for getting closer to the end of the email trail ... exciting stuff!

    Have a sunshine weekend! x

    Morning, dinner last night was delicious :)

    The salad was a 'chop it tiny' veg, tin of red kidney beans, tin of sweet corn, olive oil, lime juice, S&P. Potato salad with tahini and mayo dressing, large pieces of shish tawook, wraps and garlic mayo. One of those meals that took no time at all and we all loved it.

    Fun day ahead and I dropped DD to work at the crack of dawn. Off for an eye test, tidying the garage, sorting the freezer and menu planning. Out for dinner to friends tonight so no cooking.

    Tomorrow - kids are away :T

    This feels like the count down to holiday now.

    Ironing may be looking at me but I am studiously ignoring it :)

    Shopping budget for today £12 :eek::eek::eek:
