Love the hammock. One of my goals this year - which I did not realise until I saw your picture is to get my hammock up. It was a Christmas present many many years ago from a boyfriend and I have moved many times always with it. i have a field now and I want my hammock up - thank you Cherry.Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!4 -

Ha - we've carried ours round for many years too and moved house with it - finally put it up last year. Definitely worth it, although I never spend that long in it as it's a string mesh one and not actually that comfortable! 😂Watty1 said:Love the hammock.

Thank you all for your birthday wishes for Mr Cheery 😊 I think he's having a nice day. We are on charity shop number 183 (rough estimate 😂) and he's just found a hand tailored suit for £15 that's a perfect fit 😊6 -

Thank you all (including Biscuit! 🥰)
I have the next two days to myself so inevitably have an extensive list 😂😂 in a bid not to lose the whole time to the Internet I've scheduled the StayFree app to not let me on the phone Internet or social media until 10pm tomorrow😱 quite a scary prospect, which just shows how much its needed..
Will report back. Although I suspect some of the morning will be lost to a slight hangover 🙈😂😂10
