    Hi beanie - we're a long way off geographically, but I'm having trouble today too ... how you feeling now?

    Like I have been dragged through a fence backwards:eek:
    Been to physio, ouch, ouch, ouch.

    I would really like to have a sleep after that before my asda order comes between 6 & 8!!!!

    Your evening with friends sounded lovely Beanie - what is your favourite gin - I think they look so pretty...I still haven’t found one I like - think I’ll stick to my Bacardi and coke.
    Hope you get a better nights sleep tonight

    Thanks.
    My most favourite gin is Edinburgh raspberry :drool: :drool:

    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

    Emergency fund 1400/1000
    Buffer fund 100/100
    Debt Free (again) 25/07/2025
