    Pookey~~How is DD's moving going?

    Just waiting for an exchange and completion date, hoping for next week for exchange! She's so excited about having her own place, less excited about the mortgage payments! :). She was over the moon to get a hoover for Christmas and we've paying for a washing machine for her 21st birthday :)

    Hi Beanie, hope you aren't aching too much from the physio. Have you found any more nice gentlemen on your travels? :D

    I'm sure I read you were at the foodbank today and that it would be cold. Where is yours located? In the past couple of years our local one relocated from a very old mill to a unit in the shopping centre which is much nicer for users. Plus it's tucked out of the way a little bit so it's not obvious who's going in there.

    Anyway, hope you've had a good day. x
