    Have fun Bossy.

    I actually decided to take a little time out from the paid stuff today to make sure I had the 'me-time' that is in the list. I did my nails, feel a little more glam now.

    Just having a cuppa, will then walk and feed the dogs and enter some competitions before DH gets home. Easy tea tonight - burgers and sweet potato wedges.

    Piggers - how many suitcases do you fill with all that stuff. Think I would probably just stay at home!

    Catch you all later.
    Spend less now, work less later.
