    I am not rolling in money but find it much easier to OP than save and I really need to replenish my savings after the kitchen:o

    I am off on hols next week and getting paid, I'm sure they are reading my diary now lol:o hoping to get on top of the DIY and need to take DS to a couple of appointments (he could go alone but that means missing more school;)) and school is back next week here so might manage a wee lunch with him on monday on his last day off unless of course he has other plans...
