    Our holiday countdown is a way off starting just yet. We don't have a proper break until July!

    Put your 20p to good use.
  • Thanks for the link, I have a vague plan to watch just to see if I could make myself do any of it.

    I gave Mr SA one task to do today which was top up the pond. He switched the hosepipe on when we got back from taking the dog out this morning. At lunchtime I noticed the water was overflowing so asked him to switch the hosepipe off. Later this afternoon I noticed there was a lake forming on the garden path. Asked him if he was sure he’d switched the hosepipe off, he said he had. Just double checked now and no he hadn’t!  Good job we’re not on a water meter 😞
