    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 :D 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
    Mr F wants 'garage time' again today so more painting and admin work is on the cards.


    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
    Determined to sit down this evening and catch up on diaries. I hope everyone is doing well.

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