Excellent! Did you order from AO.com?

The flight is approx 2hours 20mins to 2hours 30mins, according to hubby.

I know what you mean about the new Poldark, but I'll watch the first episode and then decide. 

Thanks Velvet. I always worry that I've forgotten something.

I had forgotten to put in the card with the travel insurance numbers, but I now have it.

 

My memory is atrocious nowadays.

 I don't feel so bad when I know that others share the same problem.

Right, I'm going to get off. Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone. 

Be good while I'm away!

*night owls* another busy bee day here, and we ended up going for an impromptu tea after work with SIL & BIL- that's 4 times this week I've eaten out

Yogi I hope you have a wonderful trip and we'll all look forward to hearing about it when you return

Moonie I'm glad you've got a new washing machine, I'm guessing you'll have quite a few loads to put through once it's plugged in
Sunday's in our house are fresh towels day

Have a lovely holiday Yogi   

Hello night owl moonie

Hi Sweet  

Sorry you had such a busy day. Yep a mile high pile of washing  

It's ok, it's all been good or productive fun work is going really well lately

How did your team play today?

night yogi summer moons velvet

Night Ros hope your weekend is relaxing so far

Good morning everyone

 

Cloudy here and some rain forecast by noon.

 

Yogi, I hope you and Mr Yogi have a great holiday

 

Moonie, if you need some washing done before your new machine is installed, here's a temporary fix for you

Good morning everyone, a grey drizzly day here.  I hope Yogi gets off on time and has a super trip, I look forward to hearing all about it on her return.

 

Do you think moonie will go for your emergency washer EL? I hope you remembered the dolly blue (that will confuse peeps )

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, oops, I forgot, here's a couple for Moonie as he has a lot of washing:

And to help with the drying:

There you go moonie, EL has sorted all your problems Pah who needs modern conveniences!

And when I was young I did use the washing mangle to help my mother trying not to get my fingers squeezed between the 2 rollers.

 

If you go down to these woods today you could be in for a nasty surprise:

That would certainly be a big surprise EL, to be honest I would sooner have teddy bears.

So would I.

wow bit of  a blast from the past and the mangle EL -moons willloveeeeeeeeeeeeeeee them

night everybody and summer if you pop in

Good morning everyone

 

At present, the weather's OK here but some light rain is forecast for the afternoon.

 

Saw the first episode of Poldark and it's OK but as I never saw the original I can't make any comparisons.

 

Good morning everyone, it is cold and set to be drizzly here.  Off to do some test drives this morning with my grandsons, it's a big decision so I shall try and take my time.  There's a lot of choice.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Squiggle, I hope you have a successful morning wuth the test drives

Good morning I hope you all enjoyed the weekend, sorry I didn't get the chance to log in yesterday.

Love those old laundry tools, the pics are fab but I too would hate to be using them!

Squiggle good luck, I hope you have lots of fun and find a car that's perfect for you

It seems that Karl Marx spent the night near where I live the other day. He had been living the other side of Gloucester and is moving to the centre of town.

Lol El, I wondered what that meant let's hope he likes his new home

I hope so too I could go into town once he's settled and have a chat with him. Though he may be like his namesake Harpo and not speak

Let's hope that Karl Marx settles down and enjoys his new home, I wonder whether many will turn out to meet him?

 

Well I'm out and back but not sure I am any further forward. We didn't have a test drive, as the general feeling was we were not that keen on the Alto.  We did like the Swift and also the Kia Picanto.  I could get finance to buy a new one but if I can get a good second-hand one that would suit me better.  I am not in a rush and can take my time.

 

It's been drizzling all day although we are promised a lovely day tomorrow.  I hope the weather has been better for you both EL and Summer.

Squiggle, it's helpful that you are not in a rush to get a car as you can look around to find one that you like. From a personal point of view I wouldn't go for a new one as about a quarter of the value is gone as soon as the car leaves the show room.

 

The weather here is dry, but very cloudy, and the wind is making it quite cold outside. As with you, tomorrow is forecast to be a much better day and springlike.

 

I think you are right about not getting a new one EL.  I have found a firm not too far away that specialises in small automatics and I think that's worth a look.

Hi velvet, I have heard bad things about French cars though so I have not been looking at them.  Good tip about Autotrader.  I have a fear of buying from a private dealer, I want a firm with a good reputation.  It's a bit of a minefield, my grandsons are brilliant but of course I miss the wise judgement of my lovely hubby.

Squiggle, that sounds promising

I'm in agreement about brand new and french cars, I wouldn't want to buy one either.
I hope you do find something suitable squiggle

I'm waiting for me summer to get home. I was supposed to have the tea ready but got home to discover we've got no onions yes picking some up in the way back

My grandson's friend is selling a very low mileage Astra which he was bought by his grandparents, I am sure you can believe that I am struggling with the fact that it's a grey one Summer How girly am I? I will have a good talk to myself it's a good price and if it's smart with a good service history I will try to be sensible.

Lol I understand squiggle it might be worth considering though, especially if you know it's history. Grey is very fashionable right now too, I fancy a Graphite car myself but am a little shirt of the funds I need to get one with low mileage

^ I see that typo is more user friendly than my last one

Leaving goodnight hugs for everyone

night summer and everybody squiggle-a grey car is brill -it sounds  a fantastic bargain
