    Thank you for the birthday messages :)
    Lovely day had and Mr Watty didn't buy me a present just some flowers which I was strangely pleased about. I used to feel somehow let down with no gifts but actually the flowers were lovely and I think memories are more important these days. Must be getting old :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Thank you all :) Last night for the first time I loaded Most Handsome. Mr Watty has been doing it but he said it was time I had a go. And the little chap walked on easily. :j :j :j
    Should add this has saved me a quite a bit as was going to get an 'expert' out to help but looks like has all been done 'in house' :j :j :j

    :o Last week collected pair of boots from repairers and got home and unpacked them to find the ankle strap missing. Its a very bling ankle strap and missing from one boot only. Rang repairers. This has been going on for a week with me chasing them, he just sent a text saying it was probably a silly question but had I looked inside the boot ?? Errr...no ... :o there was the missing strap.
    Delighted boots are back but feel an idiot :rotfl:


    Now must go and read a 37 page report. Boring ....
