    Have heard some real horror stories about pickpockets in Barcelona so I need a small cross body bag to hold my essentials, and some flat, comfy shoes as I think we will be clocking up a few miles next week.

    Thankyou all again xx
    I just Lurve Barcelona - but it is true about pps. I wouldn't take a bag at all if you can help. Put what you need in inside pockets and front trouser pockets and best of all try not to look like tourists. Hope you have a wonderful time there.


    Sooo sorry Charlie and hope something turns up soon You never know but it might be something better fingers xd.


    Hope you all have a fantastic Friday

    Morning all. Up early today and will hoover the mattress and change the bedding shortly.

    I didn't manage to get the garden done last night as the paid stuff unexpectedly went on and on and on and on...... It won't get done tonight either as I've voluntary stuff after paid stuff today and it has rained overnight.

    Anyhow, have a great day everyone. I am likely to me missing in action over the weekend as we are away. Depends how interesting the weekend is, I may get online!

    Last night DH cut the front lawn & NNN's. I sorted 1of 4 drawers in mbr whilst DS2 was in the bath as I have to stay nearby. Some of my computer keys are not working :( including the return key. Need to get dressed and do grocery order. Also need to see if I have anything to wear to the funeral. I need to shorten DH's new suit trousers too. I have to pop to Mr T or Mr A for bread etc and have promised cinema trip to DS2. Off to get started, laters x

    Morning all

    Cloudy here this morning but should be able to dry a load of washing.

    JTTOU forecast here for the weekend is fair so hope you have the same.

    Going to have my shower and then go to the shops, Mr S today, voucher, Mr M tomorrow smaller shop voucher and a few bits from Mr L plus I have a Mr S delivery later with a bigger voucher - every little helps.

    I'll get the washing going round first though.

    Last night's load of washing has been dried and ironed, ready to go over to the chalet, the mouldy cushion that I was going to bin has been bleached and has recovered, Mount Foldmore has been dealt with, yoghurt is on, Mrs Dog walked and medicated, Devil Cat is currently being cuddled on my lap - which makes typing v. difficult. Piles of gibble from my room of doom have been manoevered downstairs ready to load into the car to be whisked back to whence it came (and where it belongs) and once I've recovered from two hours mega-flying first thing, I'll be cracking on with more of it here while I wait for a delivery. Once that's arrived it's back to the chalet for the final push for tomorrow's let.
    Better is good enough.
