    You are doing so well money wise too! The card will be almost non exists ant by the time you move. I'm sure you can raise some more money towards the moving costs before you go too.

    Lunch sound yum. We had beans on toast as requested by DS. What he actually said was "beans and bread" but I thought "on toast" would be nicer ;)

    A few things to consider.

    I live alone with a teenager who barely speaks

    I have almost no friends up here (bar a few very lovely ones but aside those I'm really alone)

    I have a serious case of antus-breekus.

    :D

    COUGHS

    Mr and Mrs McB-Rock God would like to formally anounce their house purchase finances are all approved and himself (hitherto known as TRG) is awa' signing bits of paper.

    Keys were hear are likely imminent.

    Not 'eminent' we're no that posh, ye ken.

    Happy dances in these parts.

    So so so pleased for you both! :j :j

    Although I must admit I don't know what antus-breekus is, so I don't know if you should be quarantined or not??
