    Not good about the car. Loving the personalised outlook though. You’ve had beautiful weather 👍

  • Back from a lovely short break , never ever want to come home. Even my car saga doesn't put me off . 
    This week I start having youngest DGS on Wednesday, Thursday afternoon and all day Friday as his other grandma is sunning herself abroad for a month. 
    Today we have been asked to book our Xmas leave , best get on with shopping then. 😂. Back to work to tomorrow for one day . 
    I have bought an air fryer and completely love it , it is definitely an asset in my kitchen.

    I’ve had an actifry for years but only do chips in it. The paddle turns. I don’t think the newer air fryers have paddles do they?
