    Spent last evening with an old colleague who can talk as much as me , three hours later I drew breath. Her daughter is a celebrity of sorts, that's my claim to fame. It was great hearing about how the other half live.

    Today I attended a funeral of someone I have known for many years through my volunteering. The service was a tribute to his life , but even I welled up when they played " If heaven was needing a hero by Joe Dee Messina .

    I managed a no spend day today .

    Tomorrow is childminding day , I can't believe half term is here already . The weeks are going way to fast.

    Think it will be an early night .

    It's lovely to spend time with a friend when the time whizzes by like that, it usually means they're a very good friend.

    That's very sad about the volunteer's funeral.

    Well done on the NSD.

    I have caved in , the heating has gone on this morning. However I am going to be very mindful this winter with it . I am determined to only use it when necessary.

    Hoping for a walk this morning to buy a Xmas present , and a few odd bits from HB .

    Last school pick up before half term yippee .

    Sounds like you’ve had a great day CL. I’m looking forward to replacing the gks baby toy box with a few more grown up toys to free up a bit of space in the spare bedroom.

    It’s a shame how most of the markets around these parts have dwindled to nothingness. The one in my home town used to be a great market but it’s rubbish now they’re trying to revive it with food outlets...I’m running my freezer down so I can visit a big market on the tram to restock with some meat and fish from there.

    Have a lovely weekend

    Love that your GD loves your 50 year old doll. Sounds like you both had a lovely day.

    You can't beat an autumn walk and a DGD snoozing in a buggy :).
