    Good :)

    Shangajimmi's comment about the cushions made me smile, Mr SA throws cushions off the sofa - it must be a man thing :)

    My dh does exactly the same with cushions - definitely a man thing.
    Beanie you are overpaying each month - you are doing so well - I know it is one of you big worries. Stop a while - look back and see what you have achieved - go Beanie :j:money::j

    I couldn't disagree more. What does that say about me? I love checking in on your diary :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Excuse me for popping in to your diary. I lurk and read and don't post, however, i think you are an inspiration.
    The reason for coming out of lurkdom is to say to Eager Elephant that your mailbox is full so I can't PM you .....

    Hey don't knock boring or having nothing to say - when I first started my diary it was very uneventful - then everything very spectacularly changed as well you know.
