  • I had a lovely evening with the girls last night; drank a little too much, ate a little too much and laughed and laughed and laughed.


    I did moderate things a bit because I was determined to finish the Jag painting today and I did https://www.facebook.com/BeeGardenArt Tah Dah! The customer came over this afternoon to see it and is happy so I'll drop it off at the framers whilst I'm in town tomorrow.


    I had leftover Prawn, Pea & Tomato Curry for lunch and was invited to Across-the-Lane-Neighbours for dinner this evening. I took a bottle of red from the wine rack and stayed on to play board games after.
    Mr F has checked in and all is well :happyhear


    I'm back in town tomorrow so the housework will have to wait for another week :o


    I hope everyone has had a good weekend

  • I've had enough of Jury Service now. I'm lucky in that I've only had 2 days of doing nothing and have been appointed to 2 cases. But I have to go back in this afternoon with the chance of being appointed to another case. It's Thursday :eek: If I'm appointed to another case I'll have to go back in for a third week :eek: Not happy.


    Mr F is coming home tomorrow and I might not be here :( Plus he's off again next Friday for another week :( I will hardly get to see him if I'm still on Jury Service. This is one of the reasons why I gave up work!


    And I've loads to catch up on.


    Grump, grump, grump, grump.


    MS good news. I've only spent £2.20 on drinks as I took my own coffee in after the first day. And £1.50 on crisps and chocolate in a moment of weakness on Tuesday :o I should be able to claim £63.24 for each week so once I've covered my travel costs will have £22.84 of that left over.


    I've decided to use this year's Christmas card money to buy presents for the Salvation Army appeal. (We usually donate money to charity rather than send cards). I thought a heated throw and a couple of toys. I'd like to think a senior citizen will feel remembered and warm over the Christmas period. Might make me remember how lucky I really am and stop me feeling grumpy too :rotfl:


    I hope your Christmas preparations are going well.


    Take care
