It's been a busy few days so a quick summary:
- everyday MS continues; Tillytidies, budgeting, meal planning, shopping around, etc. It's possible we may even be within budget on the fun money this month :eek:
- our guests have been and gone - the new bed got the thumbs up
- I have sold a Land Rover print
and am about half way through the car commission. I've sent the customer regular work in progress pics and she's very happy so far. What to paint next?
- lots of admin work completed. I am trying to get everything in order before I leave and my decision has prompted people to get things done before I go. My 'buffer' money will be looking very healthy come September
Hope you're enjoying the Bank Holiday weekend

Life is still speeding along at a rate of knots here. All good stuff but a bit full on:
- I have a prompt in my diary to sort out the agenda for the next meeting for my admin work - that will be my last one and I'm soooo pleased
- budgets are in hand with a good balance between saving, house improvement and fun
- finished the car commission (here if you'd like to see it http://folksy.com/items/6132051-Commission-Car-Portrait-Watercolour-Painting-) and I have a couple of expressions of interest for 2 other cars. Although I've promised Mr F I'll paint his Landie next :A

Thank you Tilly. We've just crossed posts! My first car was a Triumph Herald, I'd love to have another.
