Have a lovely weekend"Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee5

You can't beat a good diet of frogs Beanie 🐸🐸🐸. I hope your car is fixed soon.
It has been such a difficult and bizarre year and it does seem to have been going on for ever now. This has been such a hard winter, particularly January and February. More freedom is beckoning though and the weather is improving. I'm loving the lighter mornings and evenings.
Have a lovely weekend Beanie 🙂.

67 parts for your car - 67 😱😱I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

Time to put your feet up and cuddle Miss Summer. Fingers crossed the car may be back next week.I did a long reply to SSs latest post on her thread . Knocked a key and off it went into the ether!I've been meaning to ask how you're getting on with the new laptop. Temporary replacement no3 developed the too dark to read screen issue again. I dropped it off before going into town to pick up youngest's meds last week and when I got back she'd altered the settings and it was fine again. One problem is she doesn't often explain how she did it, just says don't worry just bring it back if it needs sorting again.I'm interested in how light or heavy your new one is. I thought my beloved dell was heavy but this one is very much heavier. I have a bad habit of putting it on my knees at times and it's not helping the arthritis and fibro.I ordered a very cheap laptop tray a few weeks ago which is really good . I can use it in bed but it's too wide for my armchair which is across a corner with no room for the coffee table in front.Hope your weather is ok. We've had early morning sun but very wet and windy later each day here on the coast. A friend in Borders has allsorts of weather.My spring bulbs are flowering and some trees are blossoming but it doesn't feel very Spring like.Look after yourselfpollyxIt is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness.
There but for fortune go you and I.5
