    Feel pretty much the same way and my sister is gutted. Chin up we'll have to deal with whatever comes our way.

    Thanks L. Comforting words. Can't move on. Not yet but seek solace in fact that others are also struggling to make sense.

    Shall we build a better world around your new place??! :p I am in to build Albion (as it were!) on Skye!! :)

    I despair to think where it will all end up.
    No one is in agreement about ANYTHING.
    Have never known anything like it in my whole life.

    Agree Lou, where are the grown ups? Your NS is looking the best of pretty poor bunch I'd say and yet we all knew it took what, 3 hours ? (Less?) for her to stand on a podium and announce plan for a second indy.

    Seriously, reckon we should form a battle strategy and take control? After all there's a vacuum currently!! ;)

    Indeed. Quite sure we could make a better job of it too.

    I was shocked by the result I thought fear of the unknown would cause a stay vote. We didn't find out until the afternoon as we were flying Friday morning. The country is in a right mess at the moment, think I'll stay in Majorca.

    SA, Is this a nice time of year for Majorca? I just googled it and the pics are beautiful.

    Why is my signature doing this? I changed my weight loss and now it's not working right.:(

    We couldn't do worse than the current bunch :)
    Yay, a holiday to look forward to. I will be in Cornwall for a few weeks at the end of summer. I'm going to start a little holiday jam jar for holiday treats :)
    Have a nice evening.

    Hey Brizzle just popping by to see how you are doing. Did you get chance to look at the spreadsheet for the mortgages? Have you decided, we decided yesterday too fix for 2 years but then today Carney says the rates may go down. What to do, what to do. We keep thinking that you only really know you've made a good decision in hindsight.

    Any new on lodger?

    Keep smiling. PF. :)
