    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    Glad to read you had a productive BH - and cleared out some more stuff. It's nice just to potter at home sometimes at the weekends after a busy week at work.

    Life is plodding on , not much to report apart from 3 eBay sales today . Need to do food shopping tomorrow and need petrol.

    Went to look at a possible new rental , a house in a nice area , but the kitchen was minute , you couldn't have a fridge in it of any sort . It said it had been refurbished, well maybe a lick of paint but looked like a child had done it. I will stay here for the moment .

    Have a good evening .

    Ebay sales are good :). Are you unhappy in your current home? A kitchen without a fridge wouldn't be much use!

    Did your dad help you with your cables? We have a drawer of doom in the kitchen full of carp. Last year I took all the chargers out and put them in a carrier bag and threw them on top of our wardrobe with the intention that if they were still there untouched after a year they could be binned - a couple of days later DH asked me where his charger cable was for his bike lights was :eek::eek: was very puzzled when I said probably on top of our wardrobe :D:D. I also did the same with all the loose keys that were lying in the drawer too! Xx

    Nothing wrong with plodding at all.

    Well done with ebay
