Finances and stuff later thank you for popping in and posting its been a bit insane at home with trips to see folks of knowledge and friends not coming and their dads coming instead, very confusing!
Today - garden work for 6 hours, done half hour womble.
Invoice to write later in the week. Time sheet was in on Friday too.

Oh no your old jacket finally died?! :eek: Hoods are good though...my favourite Scampton winter weather-defeating get-up is hoodie, plus jacket with hood, and both hoods firmly up and in position!
Glad you're fully rebooted.

Keep it under your hat as a surprise for later though. Oh and tipI think she likes chocolate

EH how lovely to see you! I would say "where have you been?" But I can see you've been off gallavanting!!
PITA oh yes I was expecting my cards for a couple months as we're quiet and instead I got told how fabulous I am.
Altogether a bit unnerving. But I have been told to take some time off as and when I want so I'm finishing early on days that are decent enough to get out and walk.
So far though no contact or the mention of one.
Hey ho, at least she's seeing my potential fabulousnessness.
