SO you need to be half dressed to get the mail?

Having an outdoor mail box means you can consider a puppy of a the mail chewing variety in the future too.

Not if you were fully dressed to start with!

I like it very much indeed. We need one as our post gets eaten.

In our next house we won't have a letterbox at all. They let too much heat out. This house is full of holes, it's getting cold already.

On the subject of outside letterboxes... One other thing to remember is if you go off on a long holiday to get someone to empty for you while you are away as they invariably overflow. One of the few downsides.

In another life where neither of us are married I would happily accept your challenge. Mail here has got later and later and now arrives after lunch.

I pity any thief who considers our rather lax security a challenge, it would be very hard to acheive much value from the contents even if you garage saled the whole lot.

Security here is the opposite michaels. That's what you get when the person you're married to works in safety and your BIL runs a security firm. I dread locking myself out as I swear something akin to Indiana Jones will happen if I try to enter the house. I'm off to bed now to have a nightmare about being chased by a big round boulder.

Negotiated the day of work today for short notice rescheduled school sports day from wet July as even though had meetings scheduled at work they just had just extended my contract so I felt safer in mucking them about

AM was DD2 in infants, she was very pleased to come second in running race and then in the afternoon got moved up 2 levels in her reading so was really happy. Then fetched DS from preschool, his 3rd day but first time having daddy fetch him so he was pleased then PM it was DD2 in juniors and her team won obstacle relay so she was happy and she also had cycling event at cubs in the evening so we all cycled her their so generally a happy family day (did I mention the bit in the morning whrn all the kids were at school with only DW and me at home?)

My point is, what a shame work normally gets in the way of enjoying life.
