Thanks Piq..yes you're right, it makes such a difference
DDs are missing riding though..it's not a coincidence that the stable time stopped when we had our LBM...but need to find a way to pay without going OTT. I will SO love it when that b&stard M&NA card goes into 3 figures from 4!MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Brizzle - I'm fine. Just had the week off work but been trying to do days out on a budget. We're not in debt but moved recently and have needed to spend money on the new house. Now comes the time when we need to pull our belts tight.
Went swimming today to a pool with great slides - kids loved it, but unfortunately we got caught in very heavy traffic coming back. Luckily, no one was hurt in the rather nasty accident.0
