    Evening all

    I'm back from Wales - we were in and around Cardiff juliejim :p

    Cream crackered after coach & 3 trains home...

    So glad to hear Mr LW is on the mend :j but please take it easy both wolfies xx

    Poor samuel & family, much love to all xx

    All day in the shop tomorrow so may be mildly fluttering later in the eve :cool:

    Oooh... Bonnie's unusual sight of the week: Group of men cycling round Cardiff in nude suits painted to look like they were naked, with fig leaves and everything :eek: they looked better from the back, even in suits :rotfl: ... couldn't get close enough to see why (charity ride??) but gave us a laugh. Cabbie next to us looked disgusted which made us laugh more.

    A level results tomorrow for DS, good luck to everyone else as well xx

    Nighty night xx

    Good luck to all awaiting results.

    Morning all.

    Bonnie, they have a naked bike ride in York once a year so maybe it was something like that. I always stay away from York on that day.

    Ok, so up and about, have eaten, about to shower and walk the doggies while its dry. Other than that will see what I can fit in today around the paid stuff.

    Catch you later.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all

    I've woken up on a mission this morning to shake our family life and home up - expecting a fair amount of resistance but nothing ventured nothing gained!

    I need to go and collect DS1's results later, he is already on a golf course and not interested but I need to know after 2 years of torment!

    WM on, next two loads sorted. Going to start with a horrid job, cleaning the mould off DS3's window frame.
