    Bless you beanie :D:kiss:

    And to try and put the boot into debt even further...I have just chased that well known Spanish bank about a PPI claim (one dating back before I was even married...now that IS a long time ago :rotfl:)..no response for a month so I think a nudge IS in order

    PS. dinner smells lush :D

    :rotfl: indeed!

    Had to pay membership fee but TCB payout of £20 came in so more TTs today. Just toddlers but even so. Fridays seem to be my main shuffle days. Nice to have several days in a month when I can do this, rather than just waiting for a single occasion and then a MSE desert stretching out!! :D

    Lots of travelling this week but feel calmer. Only Wednesday of course but wonder if the better weather, some sunshine etc is helping?

    Hope everyone is good xx

    Thanks lovely visitors for dropping by. Hello L :wave: hope alls well...cold with you I bet?!

    A good day, but on a 5am train tomorrow...did I do something wrong in a previous life I wonder ;) :eek:

    Fancy my dinner and an episode of Line of Duty this evening..I dont get around to watching it often, but when I do its totally gripping.
