Just arrived at PD's territory to price a job. Not bad getting here, only an hour. Will be two hours or more to get back via the car park aka M25!0

Morning all! I'm up bright and early for work today (ok, maybe just early
). Off on a road trip down to the seaside for some meetings. 3 hours each way if there's no traffic!:eek: It's going to be a long day, just wish I'd slept better last night but stomach ache and the thought of having to get up early was enough to keep me awake 
Fingers crossed I at least get a cream tea out of it!0 -

DH is away to Aviemore for 2/3 days to fix the fence Cottage belongs to a former boss who wants it fixed properly and at a proper price :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Good morning all, glorious sunshine at the moment but got down to -1.2 last night :eek:TrulyMadly wrote: »Apparently it's National Stationary Week:rotfl::rotfl:
In one of my old jobs I had control of the stationery cupboard, even my bosses couldn't access it without my permission
Well, I have a change of plan today, but a rather useful one, my friend can't make our normal Tuesday trip so that has been changed to Thursday, so I can paint today and get a second coat on tomorrow, which means I will be ahead of the game with the kitchen decorating (unless OH produces a job that requires my assistance).What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare0 -
