Thursday evening was lovely, we had a really nice, social evening talking about this and that and as Susanna is still breast feeding her baby everyone left in good time. The food was good, the conversation flowed and I got to bed in good time. What more could you ask for ( Read more... )

Lib and I had a good afternoon car browsing yesterday. I test drove a kangoo, but they are basically small vans and I don't really like the looks of it. That one had a rather pushy salesman too, but I rang him up later and told him we wouldn't be interested as my husband didn't like its looks. One advantage of not taking Simon! I've decided I'd ( Read more... )
