    I could add a comment that includes the phrases "in the pic" "your OH" "power drill", but I will bear in mind that it is still before the 9.00 PM watershed, so I won't. My goodness, Flyladies, what *are* you thinking? :eek::eek::eek:

    We're off to buy DH's new ring this morning and do some other bits of shopping. Might even stop off at our local garden centre for coffee on the way home - have 4 free drinks vouchers for introducing a new customer to the club discount scheme (i.e. DH): the vouchers alone are worth almost £10, and he will get 10% off when he buys me plants :D (prices are on a par with those in our other local garden centres) :money:

    My study is a tip so I must sort a few things out as soon as I've done the food shopping list. Hoping to get out into the garden this afternoon and do some weeding and planting out.

    We have both got pics of the chariot on our phones but neither of us can get the email send feature to work :o but will try again later.

    :wave: to skinty and DD123
    :T to mrs-mp's DS2
    Hope Dusty's DS2 has got a [STRIKE]rest[/STRIKE] revision day today.
    Great news on the referral, Natty

    (((Hugs))), spoons and sticks all round, as needed.

    I can't believe it's Wednesday already :eek: I have been busy but just not flying :o
    Monday I took my parents shopping and then spent the afternoon with them as I haven't seen them much. My mum helped me with some knitting from my partworks that I've never got around to doing.
    Tuesday morning DD1 had her driving theory test, so I took her for that and her boyfriend and I mooched round the town, had milkshakes while waiting for her. She didn't pass :( That's 3 tries now :(
    Tuesday afternoon the 3 of us took the boyfriend's female chameleon to a vet that specializes in reptiles over 20 miles away (couldn't find anything closer) :eek: The boyfriend and I will be going back Friday morning (DD1 is working) looks like she needs xrays :( The boyfriend is very upset as it's going to be expensive and he has no money so DD1 said she'll pay, he's feeling very guilty but we both said to him she needs to be seen to.
    I have the back to work woman this morning and then I'll be back to work on the lists . . .
