    What does a typical service tend to cost you?

    All these expenses are making me very twitchy as a new driver!

    * ebayer picked up broken chairs no poblem
    * pony behaved
    * children apparently are asleep
    * a wee glass of wine later.

    oof!! Succumbed to homebrew and "deliverance" one of my fav B7 episodes.

    We have a large hole filled with rocks in our field. Soon to be a concrete base for stables I hope.

    DH spent a tenner on a dine in.naughty. I sold some shoes on ebay for a tenner. Pretty pleased. I am a bit obsessed with ebay at the moment.

    Today I am grateful for
    * puppy liking her vast squashy new bed a steal at £22
    * cake at breaktime
    * pony was good with a tractor
    * the family are well
    * bed early tonight.
