A pruning saw? :eek:
Someone at work lent me one before but felt at £4 it would be cheaper than the double return journey to his (about 120 miles):D it's a kind of long blade but a bit curved, sometimes my loppers won't do the job...Mortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000

Amazing joy last night when LM gave me money for something he'd asked me to get in town yesterday (forgot I'd done that), I now have £12 and feel suddenly rich, may splash out on some mad frippery later...

Glad to hear that, I don't do short skirts so would have felt self conscious all day! but due to continued wearing of skirts and shorts (garden only for shorts) I have brown legs:D My peely wally legs finally look brown, not as brown as my arms but a lot less embarrassing!
Day out with DS today, I feel so privileged:p he has a party later so obviously we'll have to be home early...
New week moneywise and I have £2 left but put money aside for next weeks footie too so all good. Thinking of reducing food budget by a tenner for a few weeks as I have loads in the freezer and it might discourage me from buying wine:o:rotfl:Mortgage OP 2026 £350/2000Mortgage OP 2025 £7700/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
