None at all, he went to a cocktail party with his family in Newbury yesterday. I think he was so inebriated he didn't make it back.:rotfl:
He's over 60 years old. It is so funny. I was a bit cross when I couldn't contact him but its made me laugh. He invited me to Stonehenge with him last summer. He's a bit of an aged Druid. When I heard he was going to do drugs with the hippies to celebrate the summer solstice I backed out. :rotfl::rotfl::eek:Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
Hahaha well good for him for not letting age get in the way of a good night out!! Or indeed a drug-fueled ritual... Sounds like an interesting guy!0

He does really good building work though. I don't know why he wastes his money on stuff like that. Id rather buy a handbag. lol.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220

Can I just say it is really cold. I am on my third cup of tea. Heating is on full blast. I have to go to the garage and move all my stash cupboard in here so handyman will bring the cupboards later.
I decluttered garage. Now waiting for new bookcase to arrive and old 1970s cupboard to be taken out. I saw two spiders if any have come into my house I will totally freak. I am wearing wellies for next 24 hours.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

One just came and the other book case is coming tomorrow evening. My handyman will put it together for me over the next few days and I can tidy the garage. So happy it is all falling into place but I have just robbed the Christmas Fund of £50 yikes :j
Am not sure how much the rest of the job is going to cost though.
I hope you are feeling better.
I have been sent loads of lessons to write. I will start tomorrow. Quite excited to have something to do as it will keep me busy instead of becoming maudlin.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220
