    Thanks. :)

    Off out tonight with some work friends to celebrate and/or drown sorrows as appropriate.

    One more sleep until mortgage freedom. :D

    Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    Got the DW on, the washing in and out, completed a £3 survey.

    DH has taken DD1 to shooting practice on dead lane (!!)

    Need to do some domestic stuff. The DDs have developed a late enthusiasm for going to a show tomorrow. May have to spend some money on hairnets and black silks this afternoon but it depends on whether the trailer is ready or not.

    Ponyplops needs to lose 50% off her mane by then.

    We need to put ourselves to bed early but keep staying up late for the novelty value of being able to!

    :wave:

    I know what you mean about the staying up late Alchemilla, the difference between 'school nights' and non-school nights is time to yourself, and lots more of it!

    Good luck at the show, hope you have a great day!

    Is the mane now fully prepared for the event? x
