    The fountain of MSE must be the theme of the day! 

    I thought I'd gone overbudget for the groceries when in fact I'm under by 10 pounds which will prove handy at the end of the week when we need mylk & OH will need ham.  Am under budget as part of today's shop was for a work activity which others will pay for & another portion comes out of my lunch budget - salad topping stuff - seeds & croutons which keep me from defaulting to the local expensive sandwich shop.  So much better on the food budget front than I had envisioned! 

    We too are having a dry and somewhat sunny day, and as I'm working from home, will pop a load in now in the hopes of it drying outside by sunset.
