Have booked our campsite for the week after next, near Saundersfoot in Wales. A gorgeous area that we knpw well but havent been to for quite a few years. Tarquins first proper holiday:)

Tappers - I love Saundersfoot and surrounding area really beautiful there. Give me a wave when you drive past Llanelli! :rotfl:

Glorious day here again, but I'm stuck in the office. We are all plotting various ways to escape :rotfl: . Popped to Aldi this morning to get Super 6 stuff, and need to go to Tesco tonight for food shop. Also need to dye my hair tonight!

OS wise - dishes washed this morning, food shops, LO spaghetti for lunch, probably veggie chilli from freezer for tea.

Have a good day all

Hi all.

Hoppy Birdday Tappers and Snowy Owl.

Hilstep aw no, another fall.:( Take care; glad you dodn't hurt yourself too much.

JackieO poor little Mikey - I can well imagine he was terrified!

First day of Mr LW's course in Reading today; he left here at 06:00, and rang me at 08:48 to say he'd arrived safely. No idea what time he'll be in tonight, so I've made a quiche, and cooked some spuds up to do potato salad, so that if he's late, I can have my dins, and put his on a plate and serve it as soon as he gets in. It's going to be a very long week, but he has no choice but to do the course, it's necessary to keep up with the new technology.:o

It's just lucky that I have Ted staying at the moment. He's totally useless at helping round the house (he can't hold anything in his little paws):rotfl: but he's great company - he's sprawled out on the sofa, snoring at the moment!:rotfl: In fact he's dreaming - he's making little "wuff, wuff" noises in his sleep!:rotfl:

Another one who has been MIA back for the summer! Judi - so lovely to "see" you!

Happy birthday to Taplady and SnowyOwl

It's the summer holidays... bliss! I got so many LOVELY presents from my class at the end of term, which is really unnecessary but obviously I accepted them graciously. I received some beautiful flowers, which are filling the sitting room. Absolutely glorious. I haven't devoured the chocs yet, but I have just used a little notepad for my first "to do" list of the summer!

DH and I spent the weekend in London (on a deal!), which was lovely especially as we saw things which neither of us had ever done before.

I'm starting my summer job next week in a grain store for Harvest. I need to pay my car off in October and we have a leaky back door and garage roof which will need sorting out at some point. Joy. I appreciate that I'm very lucky to get a second, seasonal job to try to pay for these things but we do try to budget as much as humanly possible.

In fact, I was singing the praises of OS to someone earlier today. They couldn't believe how "little" I spend on food, but I know it could be less. At least I meal plan and shop to a shopping list as opposed to what I fancy. In fact, I did a "big shop" this morning and managed to use a voucher which got me £7 off. Not too bad, especially as I needed large bulky items.

Anyway, I'll let you all get on with your days.

Afternooon all,

Happy Birthday to Snowy and Tappers:beer:
Tappers we used to go to Saundersfoot when we were kids to a camp called Lydstep Haven I used to love it. I remember going to Caldy Island on a boat trip were the monks make their own chocolate:)
JackieO Hope Mikeys alright what a shock, poor little mite

Had a busy day ebaying and still more to do.
Tea will be chicken breasts as I have a couple that need using up, probably with salad.
Still need to make a store cupboard list, goodness knows whats lurking in the back.
Got a nasty email from my manager saying she feels very let down but I'm not going to let it bother me. I felt let down by her all the time I worked there so that makes us even!
No news from our viewers on Friday as yet. But I suppose there is time yet.
Anyway off to the post office with more parcels. Enjoy your afternoon
