    Hello AFK

    I have been working on the balcony, bit cold for sitting out still.

    I am closer to revealing my plans. I hope to be able to do so in the next week or so. :D

    Have had a busy but good weekend. Bit more to do this afternoon, then a lovely bath.

    Have good Sunday afternoons all. Very impressed with your OPs AFK. I confess I'm not a TT girl either.

    Bexster :). NSD 3/6 this month.
    I just knew it !!! out on that balcony making me jealous :)

    Plans - have a few scenarios - I like to try and predict :)


    Busy then bath - :o not sure last time I had a bath :eek: always shower, when I get bathroom refurb - can't decide whether to do away with bath or not - but it is a 3 bed family house, so the argument with myself continues :o Did I mention I have a jacuzzi bath :D filled it up when I moved in, and switched on just to see if it worked - yeap it did :j Never used since.

    Impressed with all my wee o/p's - you would be knocked flat out if you knew just how little I earn :o I always look in amazement on here to see others o/p and think - it would take me 3 months just to earn that, let alone o/p that in one month. Yes, small o/ps but i'm getting there :)

    You have a jacuzzi bath and you never use it?!

    ( shakes head in disappointment) :D

    The change of plan is related to a very cool job I was offered just before Christmas. I haven't signed a contract yet but it starts in the autumn. There are liads of reasons I couldn't say no but a massive pay rise was one of them. Don't want to say too much yet, but expect to sign a contract in the next couple of weeks :T

    So now you know ( sort of!)

    Bexster :)

    Patience is not my strong point as you can gather, but will wait for the exciting details ...... :T


    To be continued ..... :cool:

    Ha ha ha! Would you judge me if I told you I was sat out on my balcony and the ice cream van has just gone by with his music on?
    ( that means he's sold out right?!)
