Glad things are returning to normality.
I'm doing to sort my paperwork this week.
I did it a few months ago, but I've been doing so much life admin, the paper has ballooned again.
This time, I won't let it build up again!!Early retired - 18th December 2014

Morning, up and put bright and early. Rain is pouring down and I moved three snails from my veg bed before leaving home.
As I can't drive at the moment I booked a taxi, asked for approximate cost beforehand. I was ripped off a couple of weeks ago so glad I checked:)
I'm planning a restful day when home, cleaning two mirrors, encouraging DS to finish the ironing and DW/WM catch ups.
£2.43 to claim from TCB
£6 from PC
Plus cereal arrived to test

Sounds good, Tilly, I hope you can close your eyes in the taxi and not feel you have to chat to sociable taxi drivers!**

I agree, chatty taxi drivers are fine when you're in the mood to chat, but a nightmare when you CBA. I remember a 30 mile trip to catch a 05:30 flight and the guy would not shut up. Every time your eyes drooped, out would come another topic of conversation :rotfl:
Poor guy, I'm sure that he was just trying to stay awake!0 -

OMG, I've just watched KM sock folding tutorial - how neat is that

As I'm slightly incapicated at the moment I can't start yet but I'm definitely doing that ASAP.
So where are we with money - £16 spent on lunch yesterday. Not as nice as normal 'ladies wot lunch' haunt but given I'm not driving, it sufficed. Much chatter, a few tears (mine), and a fair few laughs were had. I'm going to miss you GG - who would have thought a virtual world can bring such lovely friendships in RL.
I'm on second cup of tea so far. 33p Tilly Tidied to MOS
Out for lunch today and looking forward to a good old catch up.
At some point in the nearish future I'll be back to work

Now you've started me off

Love you Tilly xxxA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
