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

It's not good for it to be driven short distances....like round the corner!

Exactly Butti, that's what I said! Also not worth the stress of driving around trying to find a parking space and he knows I bang on about the enviroment anyway so surprised he thought there was any likelihood of a lift - think he was just regretting offering to carry the bag of shopping I'd just bought when he realised how far he was carrying it!

Anyhow wee car is getting out to play today - heading out to meet folk for lunch about 40 miles away! Almost in Elantan land...

Enjoying a day of doing very little, had lunch - food poor but company good on the upside it was cheap:D

Got home to discover a dress I accidentally bought on bay of e the other night had arrived and it's lovely, not bad for a fiver...

Also found £20 I'd stashed a while back which will come in useful as I'd forgotten the whole new modules = new books bit about next semester:o
Hopefully I have suitable politics books but not sure about other subjects...

Anything on the kindle thats right for you? I mostly have freebies on my account, but I bought a proper counselling book the other day, sort of to save space in the house, and another one that was actually free - one on standards and ethics, the other on adolescent mental health.

I shall have a look thanks, still waiting for reading lists. I do like a book though in my grubby paws, there are usually some in the uni library you can read online but find it easier to use an actual book:o

Suppose I should get off this sofa and glam myself up a bit - off out with LM for something to eat in a bit...

Oh dear I'm shattered and heading out in an hour or so... cocktails should perk me up though:D

Work crazy busy today but that's good as it means money coming in and happy boss!

Got pension statement in today and noticed my death benefits are more than my mortgage so wondering if I should just cancel the decreasing mortgage insurance thingy... In other news assuming I have no mortgage I shall survive ok for retirement at 60:D

Day off today and I've been incredibly lazy:o In my defense I had a really busy weekend and I'm shattered.

DS's phone bill came in today and was £6 over so I demanded an explanation and he actually offered the £6 - did I take it? Of course:D

Think I might make some bread this evening...

Today I shall get organised - lots of ironing to do.

Have timetable clash for next semester at uni and it's infuriating having to keep checking emails and website, really hope it gets sorted soon. Then there's only seminars to sort out...

Using up Christmas goodies here so raspberry conserve in my porridge and brie and redcurrant pannini for lunch. Doing some volunteering work later so car will get another day out - 5 in a row which is very unusual for me but I am on holiday!:D

Have bought carrots to have a go at the carrot and ginger soup they make at uni, it's gorgeous but think I need lime juice...
