Glad you got some cheery cafe life in pippi! :T :T :T I love it (we often talk about that cafe! Think they may have thought we were mad taking pictures in there :rotfl:)

Can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to pack up an entire house to move <shudders> you're all so brave!

Hmm. 9.21 and still in my pj's not very bustly today

Another cuppa a look at my diary and then a plan for the day is required!

hope you're all well. I crashed and burned at 6.15 last night!

I taught soft landscaping (pruning) to students yesterday and we got on rather enthusiastically! We filled two large tractor trailers with branches and tree limbs - good fun.

If tiring!

Today a meeting in pm in town, a bit of a tidy/banking/etc inbetween now and then, really windy here - need to via womble land to check our compost bins are actually still 'in' the site. I might need to take rope and tie them up to the buidling.

Peedie and I have been locked in deep negotiation with O2 and the kitchen

02 due to the fact I'd like a phone upgrade (Iphone 4s - I can't have one til Oct 31
I need a better camera on my phone

After hour of looking and weighing up the dealz etc - and what our get out of our contract would incurr we have decided to get hold of a 2nd hand veiwity (£33) (5mpx camera) and then upgrade to our phone of choice in oct

job done

we've also been discussing our stupid kitchen and tables - we currently struggle to eat in our kitchen due to the enormous amount of cupboards - but there i one in the local second hand place for £60 which is a good size with pie shaped seats (the table is a circle so when the table is not being used the pie seats fit under the table all snug.

Off to ponder that and see if we'll get it.

Hugs to you all

Have a good un.

pippi, my mum's got one of those tables and they're fab for saving space, we may yet end up with one in our elusive new house. I think i'm going into town on Sat to sort out my first contract phone, it's taken me months to decide what to do

Pippi, that's my phone of choice too. i can get a free upgrade on 1st April and am counting down the days.

Well LT, you're more than welcome!

I'm on a dull work training call and making a plan of action for tonight. My acupuncture and massage I had at lunchtime have really relaxed and invigorated me and so I've told OH that he has to yell at me if I sit down and watch TV until even he with his very restricted vision can see a big difference! Poor chap....he knows I'm good at being distracted and distracting Could be a fun evening!

I've seen those tables Pippi, they're great for space saving. You must make sure you get the one that comes with the instruction booklet on how to place the chairs under the table for the kids. If they're anything like mine, they won't know how to put the chairs away!:rotfl:

I once embarrassed DS1 by saying I didn't want the hanger with the trousers unless it came with instructions, quite clearly how to use a hanger was not intuitive and needed written instructions, proven by a pile of unused hangers next to a pile of screwed up clothes.

love it Piq, i've given up bringing the hangers home when i'm getting stuff for OH as he's completely forgotten (if he ever knew) how to hang things up.

Morning all

Wild and windy here.

I'm off to pootle about a bit with banks and have a cuppa.

I bought the table glad I waited 2 days as they had knocked 20 quid off it

A kinda not really worky pottery day here today.

But, I'm sure work will creep in there.
