    I did a wee favour for a friend at the weekend & they very kindly gave me some dosh.
    So I have started the scooter fund.
    Very mixed feelings but it is what it is.

    Happy Tuesday everyone.

  • Hope the flights all went to plan for people. It's certainly made me think twice about the idea of booking with that shower again...unfortunately living near a certain Essex based "London" airport our options are often limited.

    Good news that you've kicked off the scooter fund Beanie - if it's needed it's needed.

  • A dress? A scooter? Both excellent ideas Beanie :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    I was saying this a couple of weeks ago. I put a jumper on which surprised my Mother greatly...

    Life gets very short if you get too cold.
