    Well it's been another NSD and that's two car free days in a row too:D

    Now valiantly ploughing my way through the crackers and cheese left from Christmas as DS is out for dinner with his dad.

    Exams all done (well for this round), took DS for tea so no NSD today but was nice to catch up, still car free though much to DS's disappointment, I thought he'd have understood "meet me there, there's no point me coming home to go back out" as I shall be walking but I now realise I didn't actually say that. We came out of pub and started walking but I didn't realise he thought my car was round the corner when it was all cosy in my garage (it's only a mile he won't die).

    OP of £100 today, getting there but 30s are soooo close yet so far away now...

    lol, he then told me it was good for cars to be driven:D

    I had a drink in the pub too - was shocked he'd think I'd drink and drive! Yes it was just one but I never drink at all if I'm driving as sometimes I feel squiffy after half a glass:o
