    Carboot's been cancelled as J's feeling ill. It is a lovely day and I am going to do some decluttering of my paperwork and dressing table after a leisurely breakfast and tv.

    That's a shame about the car boot SW, I am partial to a good car boot sale and went to one yesterday but managed to not spend much. Hope your friend is feeling better soon. Have a nice relaxing day, I am :D , just washing and cutting grass later.

    It's my day off today and so far I have mowed the grass, washed up, made two beds. Drawergate is over. I have bid £63 for the final chest of matching drawers They are £80 in the shop. We will be collecting them all on Saturday.

    I put on my old bedroom furniture on fleabay for really cheap prices and someone bid within 5 mins for the old dressing table and I am getting enquiries about the chest of drawers. OMG. I love fleabay. :beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:

    Here too. I have a flat roof and it sounds awful. It has been raining since about 2pm. I had my haircut today and also visited a friend in hospital. Total spend £16.80.

    I can't cope with our election as the newspapers are so biased and I think people believe them so I have been watching James Comey's speech about his encounters with Doooonald Trumpton.

    OMG. The guy is a total legend and for me to say that about a Republican is high praise indeed. I do hope this is used to sway people towards an impeachment which should be likely pretty soon. Doonald has been accused of being a liar by someone in his own party in public and an ex Director of the FBI. Holy moly. Exciting times we live in.

    I bought a diet fizzy drink at work yesterday 1.20 and also a tea today 75p. Yikes.

    OMG I was too scared to get out of bed as I thought Labour would have hardly any votes. I am so happy we have a viable opposition again.

    I am so biased and am wondering if Theresa May do more damage to the Conservatives if she stays as PM or if she steps down? Is there really any chance of Boris being appointed? The man is a nutter in my opinion. If he is appointed the Tories will continue to be the laughing stock of Europe and he will kill the NHS
