    Lots of little niggly jobs and loose ends sorted today and been out for a nice lunch with friend. I paid for both of us and it cost a grand total of £16 so don't feel too guilty.

    Letters posted, and some of dad's admin also sorted/posted. Have also been to tyre place and they managed to fix puncture - only £21 so very happy with that result :T

    Have also got in touch with another old friend whose son was expecting results today and he has got his uni place :T - will arrange to meet up with them in a couple of weeks before he goes off to pastures new.

    Bye for now:)

    Thanks Robin :)

    So I shouldn't really be on here, I should be loading the car, but it was a very late night/ early morning,and I have let DD and DS lie in - they are still in deep sleep. I been awake a while and I've rejoined NT as will probably use it a lot this week, we had cancelled our long standing family membership a couple of years ago very reluctantly to save every penny we could. There is an offer of cashback so yours truly used that, so over £8 will find its way back to me eventually. Also got DD to join through her cashback account , so she'll get some back too, and we'll both get freebie binoculars :money: although not in time for this trip obviously:(

    Just looked at weather forecast and there a yellow warning for wind:rotfl: and its every rain every hour of the day. So need to throw in wellies and waterproofs instead of flipflops:rotfl:

    Hope everyone has a lovely week. Back soon.

    Happy Hols NOA. We did the same with NT. No car for 2 years now so no point. But its high on my wish list for when things improve. Hope your journey will be smooth. Enjoy making some memories.
