Funeral was a great tribute to a lovely person, around. 200 people were there. A lovely catch up with my oldest and dearest friend with lunch thrown in.
Yesterday was a work day , with volunteering in the evening , so not home until around 8pm, but a NSD to boot.
Today is payday , I have finished at lunchtime to pack for early start tomorrow to Scotland. I am packing for every type of weather , but hope the sun is shining on me.
My fuel bill has dropped by £8 a month and my pension increased by £4 a month . With the rise in C Tax I think I may have broken even! .
To save money I am taking a packed lunch for the journey and will probably buy a hot drink en route . I am hoping to spend as little as possible , most meals are provided as is transport.
EBay is going well , most of my items finish over the weekend.
All have a great Easter with plenty of sunshine.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.1 -
