    Oh yes, that's always present.. and lovely food :)

    A good MSE day yesterday. But as the kids had emergency pizza, not a LSD. That was the sole spend though. TTs done and money shuffle achieved. Used TCB for a train ticket.

    Sitting now in a quiet house... luscious. Kids and OH off and out. Just me. Best get a cup of tea and get a shimmy on

    Have a great day folks

    Aha! The skirting!! I had been wondering ;) and was planning to drop by for an update :rotfl: what will you do with your time PF when it's all done??!

    Currently away on a spa break with friends and sister...it's wonderful. So relaxing. We will put the world to rights, with wine, good food, laughter and possibly tears... and a good dose of a jacuzzi and some sauna time.

    OH is at home doing chores..he's good though, but still hasn't decided what to do re work..which is weighing heavy I know. He doesn't appreciate change like I do, let's put it like that ;)

    Have a great day folks and thanks as ever for all the virtual support. It's so so appreciated :kiss:

    Thanks all. Beginning my journey home now.. soooo chilled out, I may have to have a power nap on the train :D

    Not sure re the MSE progress over last 48 hours.. bottle of wine shared with friends last night. Must try hard to get some LSDs in this week otherwise slim chance of hitting my target. Sales not great but fingers crossed.

    Hope everyone having a good weekend
