    Morning, the sun is out :T

    Air smells beautiful. I so love having a cuppa in the garden before the day starts. Fortunately, I don't really feel the cold :)

    Another £10 ish claimed from TCB? £90 direct OP made yesterday and 39p Tilly Tidy to MOS :T

    Mr t is clearing his shoes out on Sunday. We will bag them and put them in a charity bin. DS needs another clothes clear out and two pairs of shorts to buy.

    I think that's all for now - have a good day and thanks for lovely messages. I'm hoping I'm back on the home straight now.

    Evening, thanks for dropping by - it's been quite chilly today, but sun was still around.

    Another £42 is showing as confirmed on TCB :). Mr T has another half an HR of work, then we are making pig cheek casserole - ready for tomorrow. I'm using red wine and veg, slow cooking overnight.

    We have developed a room of doom - the study. Our plan is to take out all papers from the desk and sort, action and file in the morning - wish us luck :eek:

    Have a good evening and BH weekend.

    Will swap your room of doom with our boot of terror - 5 massive bags from Mr GG's mum's :eek:. Fortifying ourselves with wine ready to dig in tomorrow - will be thinking of you :D.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
