    So ran, had wee walk with pal during the day then wee walk with LM in the evening, think I'll have a rest today although shall probably have a walk with LM later - we like to have a wee walk down the beach before a coffee or drink, got told off for being late home by DS last night just because he was on time for once:D

    It's cold here today, I may even close the windows! Hoping it might warm up later as I was hoping to sit in the sun and finish my current book:o DS wants me to take him into town first to buy shorts so expensive and ugly you would not believe it - he is paying though but bet he doesn't buy me lunch:D

    Well I had to spring for lunch and some tshirts and "oh I need some PE shorts..."

    I've been having a look at rail ticket prices as although the bus is cheaper it's notoriously bad for delays and winter is a nightmare, also I can't read on a bus so at least I could do something productive on the train:o looks doable. Also been thinking about a target so by the time I finish uni mortgage should be around £39K but I'm going to aim for £35K:rotfl::rotfl: aim high!

    Applied for a wee part time job today - was told I was over qualified but who knows, it's not a no yet and she thought I was capable...
