    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:

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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. :o

    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.
