    Well that is all of the kids school uniforms bought - just shoes and stationary to buy! Feel worn out so I am going to flop on the settee all afternoon!

    Gorgeous day here - really sunny but quite blowy! After all the rain we had yesterday, the ground and grass is completely dry!

    Made more on that laptop in the end as the buyer pulled out so flogged it to my dad :D . Got loads of free stuff from them today so all in all i've not done too bad.

    Date number 5 today - too mcdonalds (yes she had her kids, thats why) so my total outlay so far is about a tenner. And to make it better we went to the shops after and grabbed some of the stuff on discount. Think i've found a keeper here.

    Someone up there is now either liking me or playing a very cruel joke :D

    Sounds like you've had a productive day sax :) hope it all works out for you.

    Hope your plants weren't too dry fire**fly! I only have the one plant (a money plant from dads cutting) and I keep forgetting to water it! :o

    That's great you got all the uniform in Bella! :) I got sons bag so I'm getting there! :D

    Well it's been lovely here today, a bit of a wind but the rain stayed off! I met Sheils & her DH at Redcar again and wingo embarrassed herself eating an ice-cream and getting it all over! :o I was literally covered! :D
    Had a lovely chat Sheils and it was great meeting you again and look forward to next year! :D Enjoy the rest of your break :)

    DH has just put a sweet chilli pizza in so my tummys beginning to rumble! ;)

    Here's hoping.Too late to back out now as all bought.

    I'll be under the Gazebo if it does turn bad :-)

    First chance to try a win from last year:



    Plus the old Gas BBQ as a fall back in case I am too thick to get the charcoal at the right temperature :-)

    We had sunshine & all was good.

    I did miss the comping for a few hours though.Plus the tidy up was a pain :-)
