Gave up trying to resize photos, realigning font, clip art not working etc etc etc so instead of getting wound up - I ordered through Vista print & got 20% off & they are delivered to Mum with envelopes included. and Quidco tracked already.

:o:o And now I've noticed after paying I forget the wording of Lunch Party :o:o

So modest celebration will have to interpreted as Lunch party as at Noon

I have just been to the police station, as one of the places T's suggest for certifying a document and they want to charge £35 each one. It will take a while to get enough interest to make it worth it! Will have to look for some less expensive way to get them certified.

Do you know a civil servant? Used to get my passport photos signed by a friend who was a civil Servant or anot her one who was a police officer. Don't know if it is different.

just about to go and check mine but I think if you log on its in the menu left hand side and it's very quick, you can open the account yourself online.
after 12 months you ring up and the old monthly saver is closed and the balance moved to your first direct current.
then you can just start a new one.
I will check in a min - I got £116.18 in interest for 12 months - gross - OK not enough to set the world on fire but good enough - and its put aside for the 2017 spectacular

Good afternoon,

Finished washing all outside windows with the telescopic window cleaning gadget I got from Maplins for about a fiver! Just need to finish inside upstairs Windows, and blinds, then all done!

Gu puds have been a success this weekend. DD took some to friends house when she stayed over in London. We took them to friends Sat night, and had them for pud last night after takeaway. (takeaway was to say thanks to a friend for helping with garden clearing).

Need to go and buy milk. Was hoping to combine visit to shop, with visit to vet, to take doggy's wee sample in for testing. Unfortunately, doggy refusing to produce a sample😡
