Travelling On

Karmacat

Exactly! That's what I'd buy if I was confident about the finances and the energy/attention, that's the only thing that stops me, I guarantee you

Absolutely, if you've got a full life, a car is the only way to do it - especially, as I'm finding out, in the ordinary or smaller sized towns - nipping over to the next town, 5 minutes drive away, is nothing, but getting a bus can be a nightmare.



Right, my list is doing well, sort of:
- putting shopping away.
- washing machine done. It's out on the line, I'm not convinced about the weather, but its there for now.
- one email written.
- SB pootling in the background. I've discovered I don't just have to do the pushbutton stuff while I'm watching tv. I've got it going on right now, in Explorer, while I'm on Firefox, and it's fine (you can't do it on another tab on the same browser).


Got to check the finances, get rubbish out to the bin, and clean up a bit for the bank holibob. And I'm currently searching for some papers .... I hate not finding papers. So it goes

Ooh, thanks for the reminder.... must go and put washing on line!

Here we have to get two buses to get to the next town - all local buses have to go into the town centre and then out again, even though it's the wrong direction!

It sounds an exciting time for you, KC, preparing for your holiday. When do you go? I'm afraid I've forgotten what you told us:o


I've had a nightmare of a morning! I'd planned to do so much today but OH has lost his mobile phone:eek:. Not a major event in itself as it's only a basic PAYG non-smartphone and it's not as if his whole life's technological needs are on it:rotfl:. He very rarely uses it anyway except for about 3 calls a month but he still wants to find it. The house has been in uproar ever since 6.30 this morning as drawers and cupboards have been emptied of whatever he had crammed into them just in case it had been put there by mistake;). As for his clothes, anything with pockets has been dragged out and searched even though some of the garments hadn't been worn for years prior to him even buying the wretched phone.


My bright idea of me ringing the number from the landline so he could locate it when it rang brought no joy because he never leaves it switched on anyway or even charged up most of the time:mad:. He's already searched every nook and cranny in his car and is now having a blitz in the garage. I wish him luck but it's like looking for a needle in a haystack in that Aladdin's cave:eek:.


We had all this performance with his passport a couple of years ago and after days of fruitless searching he went to the expense and trouble of getting new photographs taken and applying for a replacement. Then the original magically turned up in a place that he said he's looked in twice previously:rotfl:

I hear you, CBC! That's got to be deeply, deeply frustrating. It's one reason why I'm collating things now - I nearly always get some last minute hitch that leaves me running about like the proverbial :rotfl: Hope you can claw back some time for your own needs pretty soon.


As for me, my washing got rained on :cool: I suspected it might It's coming down quite proper at the moment.


I checked the finances, and my regular saver has been closed and put into a vacant saving account, so I've transferred wodges to my own savings account.


I think I'll do a swift bit of sweeping upstairs while the kettle boils for tea, and then loll about like a lolling thing, drinking tea. The next bit I *really* want to do is outside, and its seriously chucking it out there ...

:hello: Hello lovely people.


Had a bit of a day out today - there's a National Trust place that's only 20 minutes from me, that I only went to for the first time last year, so I popped back there and walked about the further reaches of the estate. It was good :j



Nothing else whatsoever has been done

Nothing else needs to be done darling KC!

:kisses3: Thanks honey!



It was where we went to the Antiques Roadshow last year, so also a chance to see it more clearly
