  • Thanks Ali.. She's frail, and has lost a bit more weight, but is doing ok for now. She ate well anyway!

    DD off to London today on a school trip, so I dropped her off at school at 6.20, and won't get back til 9.30 tonight :eek: a loooonnnngg day for her. She was very excited though :D

    No MSE news today.. Watching those pennies very closely! I'm going to try and get through the week and not do any top up shops; we'll see, as I might run out of veg :o

    Hope the sun is shiny where you are.. It was glorious first thing, but seems to be clouding over now :(

  • Thanks so much for asking about TessDog and DD, HB and MeandO.. TessDog is *very* happy at the moment as now that I have cut off all the meat from the lamb bone to make my leftovers curry she has possession of the bone :D

    DD had a brilliant day in London, saw a musical (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) and walked all over the place. She's shattered though, and was happy to curl up in bed, bless her.

    And I've had a pretty good day too. Went on a lovely footpath walk (I get paid to do this!) and this was my view..

    I'm very lucky, it's not what I trained for at all but I'm a Highways Inspector now, which means I look at roads, and footpaths, and given that my patch is largely rural, I get to look at a lot of beautiful scenery, and see some stunning footpaths. I also get to look at lots of lovely potholes (although not as many as there used to be.. Lol!)

    Amazing job! Out of curiosity, is that field anywhere near Guildford (i'll take this out after reply) as it looks very familiar to a path I walked on last week with my walking group!

    Beautiful pic Stepster :)
    I wanted to let you know that ever since you told me about making those tiny payments to credit card I have been doing it every single time my account goes into odd pence :) Feels strangely rewarding, love it, and think of you every time I do it :D xx
    - on a mission to be debt-free by the end of 2017 - :cool:
