Hi All
Glad you've been able to get out and about a bit Ziggy, I guess this bright weather must be uplifting too.
Hope the school trip went well Ikesmummy?
Glad you are enjoying your garden so much Foxgloves, it sounds like you have it very well organised.
Good Advice - Well done on your sneaky heating turning off

Me today.
1) Checked banking
2) Used a coupon at Sainsburys
3) Did another load of paper work shredding so I have achieved shredding basket zero now
4) Organised lunch & World Book day outfit for son for tommorow.
Utter Fail of the day - Ran out of petrol! Never happened before, purely down to bad luck as I was on my way to do that next. Fortunately I had some nice guys that helped push me the 5ft I needed to be safe at the kerbside, then I walked about 1 mile for petrol. Annoyingly I own a petrol can but due to all the silliness with the car it was in our dining room. We are using a friends car I think I already explained, and he didnt have one. So I had to pay £6 to buy one. Not the total end of the world!
Anyway think thats it for now.
Night all.

Evening folks -
- Day started well - guest left nice and early so I could swap bedding over ready for tonights before I went to work
- Also got washing out on the line :jand this time it dried!
- Went to dentist, left £35 lighter but I guess its good in the long run (having missed for many years I am trying to make up now. But hygienist suggests seeing me again in 3 months - that is £10/month I've got to save).
- Posted ebay parcels. Little tip from man in post office, we made my long but very light parcel (it was just 1cm over the limit for a small parcel) into a tube shape with some creative sellotaping. Tubes are allowed to be larger dimensions than small parcels, and are cheaper than the large parcel rate. Worth knowing!
- Cycled to and from work, thus saving on parking near the dentist
- Took LTW, but boss had bought in a buffet style lunch for us as busy doing a planning day together. Very lovely. Lots of fruit :j:j I even ended up with two satsumas afterwards that will go nicely in DDs lunchbox tomorrow

- Cycled home in sunshine, it was bliss.
- To friends tonight for beans on toast tea and to cuddle her new baby. Meant I had to top up fuel tank but my DD was very happy to go.
- This evenings guest has just arrived - so I am sleeping in the lounge again!
- Inspired by Bons shredding zero...I have scaled the mountain of ironing...currently enjoying a cuppa at ironing zero. Woo hoo! :j
