  • Evening people

    Today I:
    * refused to pay £1 to withdraw my money from a cashpoint - rip off!
    * did an aqua class so making use of my gym membership
    * ate at my parents
    * collected jeans that mum had taken up for me
    * gladly accepted her gift of 2 butternut squashes which will be roasted or used in soup
    * booked theatre tickets using lastminute.com and got a real bargain!
    * checked online banking and everything looks ok
    * am babysitting for some friends who are out working tonight

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
  • Hello all, and Happy New Year:beer:
    Have been absent for a while, find December very difficult for various reasons, but hey - it is nearly January!


    Today we picked up the dogs from kennels (been on a long road trip to see relatives) and had a long walk across the fields. Made a list and did some shopping. Trying to catch up with the laundry (endless - did 4 loads on boxing day, before we left, but that was 4 days ago!) and made a curry.


    Staying in by the fire this evening, watching old films and drinking (gift) wine.


    Best wishes for 2015 x
  • And just to add we have made a vow to never ever again set off on a long journey without food and drink. On the outbound journey, from home, I took turkey butties, HM sausage rolls, biscuits and a flask of coffee. Lovely.
    On the last leg home, from a night in a B&B, we had nothing and ended up paying a small fortune for sandwiches and drinks at a service station.
    Could have saved quite a bit by going to a local bakery/shop before we left.
    Next time.....
