Evening bubbs:)

I got so excited today.

I found a womble with this bad boy on it:T:T

A v T

1x Aberfeldy Highland Single Malt Scotch Whisky (70cl) £36.00 £25.00


I knew as soon as I saw it that it was going to be a great womble.

Unfortunately, they also bought these.....

3x Nescafe Azera Americano Decaff Instant Coffee (100g) £9.00 £17.67
2x Nescafe Azera Americano Instant Coffee (100g) £6.00 £10.98

I bumped into the lovely elaine today.

I was coming down the escalator as she was at the bottom....I ushered her upstairs as I'd just been told that most of the stuff on the sale rack.....and all the shoes.....were being reduced to £1 and scarves to 50p.

So she was then on the way up the escalator as I was at the bottom as she was telling me about the self scanners.

We talked....shouted...until she was nearly at the top. You can tell the APGs are ending .....we've lost all our inhibitions:rotfl:

We received our quote for this year from our existing home insurance provider. It had gone up 60%:eek:

Popped onto TCB to find out that the cheapest quote was actually cheaper than we are paying now:T:T

It was from our current provider plus £15.75 cashback

We rang them to ask if they could just match the online price but no....:o we would have to go on line and do it:o
And set up a new DD:o

Another hour of my life I won't get back:o

What a waste of time and energy:o

Hi JuJu,

We've got a chopped up cherry tree that some friends had felled earlier this year, but that's it at the moment! To be honest things have been so hectic with all the building work going on that we just hadn't thought about wood! I'm going to have to put some thought into finding some free, or at least cheap wood.

We've been visiting friends down by the sea today, what a lovely day! We picked up the free O2 screenwash on the way.

Tomorrow we're doing a 30 mile walking event on Dartmoor. The forecast is looking dry :-).

Some wood can take a while to dry out, so getting ahead of yourself is so worth it. A few years ago a we had a eucalyptus tree from a friends garden, but it took 2 years to dry out. We have just got some apple, and loads of oak last friday....helped a friend move house yesterday and we had all the walnut logs from her garden as no use to her now, so we are well stocked up, as we already had sycamore. We made our log store from pallets, with sterling board roof which is then felted.....painted with a dark stain and they really good.
We also invested in a hydraulic log splitter....much easier than an axe, if you get into it seriously.
I am going to send you a pm..
