    We went clothes shopping DGD and I , I wanted some new T-shirt's so went to the local M&S clearance shop being MSE , not much choice really . DGD got a lovely dress half price 😂. 

    Getting ready to go to parents who have gone on a coach break , apparently the driver is 82 yrs old . 

    After reading the new forum rules , I will try to make my diary more MSE . I am 350 points from cashing out YouGov again , have had a survey nearly everyday this week. 
    PA are few and far between as I am not checking in often enough so might try this week. Have a lovely Sunday, we got some much needed rain last night . 

    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    🤣 to the age of your parents' coach driver - it's a proper pensioners' trip!  Seriously though, you would think there would be a cut-off age for professional drivers!

    Here's hoping for some sun so you can take advantage of the garden🤞

    There is!  When you reach 70 & have to get a new licence every 3 years they drop things off what you are allowd to drive, but they don't let you know that they have.  I have a friend who owns lots of different size vans but is now only allowed to drive ones under (I think) 3.5 tons.  Luckily one of his sons warned him.  At the very least he should be having annual medicals unless of course it is a mini bus.

    Great about the pay out. Do you have plans for that money?

    After reading the new forum rules , I will try to make my diary more MSE . 

    Off to read the new rules myself as I need to have a much more MSE focused diary. Where is the emoji with the embarrassed face when you need it?

    Well done on the payout :)
