Morning Everyone

Day 7 of working on the trot. But a week off starts tomorrow:T

Yesterday I took part and covered a huge march in Eastbourne to save the hospital. Great atmosphere down there, but was kicked out of 99% of the coverage by my selfish colleague.

Got a free drink out of the boss for going. Then went out for lunch with my friend and her little boy, who decided to be a little bleep!!

Lots to do today, to make sure stuff's done whilst I'm off so better get on

Hope everyone's ok

Tootles - How are you feeling about the flat this morning? It's only natural to feel torn, but I'm sure you know that already. I'm sending you lots of hugs and hope that the decision becomes clearer for you.

Morning all.....(((((((HUGS))))))))))))) to those who need them

:T :T :T Congrats to Master Kaz:T :T :T

I know you must be very proud of him. Kaz, I am feeling a bit trepidatious, will be better once we have seen the flat, the thought of what we have to get rid of is daunting, but I do know its the right thing to do, just not sure if its the right time!!!!! Things will be easier finacially, I would have a bit more in the budget and would be able to save to get rid of our last loan which would make us much better off. The bus stops outside, so we can go into town with our free passes and we can also either walk or go on the bus to Tesco and the library. Will not be giving up the car, but it will have to stand out rather than be in the garage as it is now. But then up until we moved here the car has always stood out. Needless to say the garage is full of stuff we have to find a new home for including two gas cylinders, one of which is full!!!!!!!!!!!! I put the dryer in the paper so hopefully we will sell that this week.........the washer and cooker will have to wait. We get a cooker provided, its electric, , beggers can't be choosers, I have my combi micro which cooks very well, so if the oven is not up to much I can use that.

Nice bright morning, have stripped the bed, will wash overnight. OH is at the allotment, second day this week, tidying up....... we are drying beans on the plants for use during the winter, they should be ready by the end of the month.

Joannasmum - glad the car is ok.........hope you get it back soon and they catch the b*****s...............

Well I am off for my caffine fix, have some ironing to do, managed to make up a bag pack yesterday, but need to get more wadding for a second one, only going to do two, must admit it looks quite good, I printed off a picture of the bag to put on the back of the instructions. I also made up a beach bag, it is big enough to hold a towel, book and sun cream, longish handles to carry it over your shoulder.................
