    * Do RM Surveys. Done.


    * DW wants a trip to Ikea. Will try to be frugal. Not quite frugal...but within budget. :D Bought three new pet-cacti. Love them and they don't need much feeding! :rotfl: Car boot on our hatchback refused to "click" closed on the way home. :eek: Lashed it closed from windscreen wiper to towing eye with [STRIKE]rope[/STRIKE] washing line that I keep in the boot but had to drive home the long, slow way; didn't seem wise to take it up the M8. Treated it with WD-40 and two hours later it was working again. Please, Great Smurf, let it keep working. :o


    * Waiting to hear if a long-distance charity walker wants me to escort her on a leg of her walk through my neck of the woods. Free exercise. Done. Much photografaff-ing by my DW who is going to use the images to advertise the Elizabeth's Footprint round-Britain walk for free.


    * Dinner was a reduced-priced chicken which we roasted.


    Live long, live well and prosper.

    Happy birthday and anniversary Ziggy. I hope it's been a good one for you. I've had a pretty relaxing day, filled mainly with crochet, which is happiness for me :D
    I am, like Ally, dog tired after a long half term at work so it's going to take me a while to get back to my usual self.


    [STRIKE]:cool2: PAD[/STRIKE] Rounded down bank - another £8.64 to cc
    [STRIKE]:cool2: tutoring[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:cool2: take kids pokemon hunting if they want to go (I'm quite enjoying getting out and about)[/STRIKE] Just ds today, and he talked me into doing the £land challenge.
    [STRIKE]:cool2: lots of crochet[/STRIKE]:j:j:j
    [STRIKE]:cool2: bit of cooking[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:cool2: get the kids to muck in with housework[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]:cool2: mins game with the kids[/STRIKE] This is going really well so far
    :cool2: nap if I need to Didn't need to

    So my plan for the evening is to sit with a cuppa, dh, tv and crochet. Got to get up fairly early in the morning because the car is in for its annual service.

    [Legomum lovely to hear your plans. Don't forget cast iron work too and can be very versatile. Mr s had loads in our store massively reduced if you have one nearby. We have a le cruest (or however you spell it) that I got off fleabay for a bargain price as the seller like me couldn't spell it. ;) we use it all the time, far more than we ever did on our gas hob.

    I love our induction hob. One of our best purchases ever. I'm easily pleased :rotfl:
