    Good evening Happy Steppers Crew,

    This is my 3rd time of trying to post today after the computer gobbled up my entries into oblivion :mad:

    Yesterday was a record breaking smilie day for me with a whopping 14 smilies :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Today, I was up at 5.45am and Geocaching by 6.15am when I suspect many of you were still pushing up the ZZZzzzzs. It was a cache that you had to do in the dark and we needed to finish this one as we had started it a couple of weeks ago. It was wonderful because as the sun was rising the dawn chorus was beautiful - we heard many birds including an owl and a woodpecker

    Today I


    1. Put a £1 a day into my 'stash the cash tin' :D
    2. Put a £1 a day into my 'party tin' :D
    3. Geocached :D
    4. Shopped at Aldi and Farmfoods both with MOC's and I kept to my budget :D
    5. Picked up my DD1 and her boyfriend from the train station (they are home from Uni for 2 weeks :j) :D
    6. Partly cut down and cleared our friend's front garden :D
    7. Visited Amanda and Clive :D
    I hope all the Happy Steppers Crew had a super Saturday :grouphug:
