He already left ~ school run. Then it'll be piano practice or swimming or some other activity that involves parting with mega money and driving half way round the county. I shall be doing that myself later. Minor is nursing his junior lemsip but Minimus is still to be collect from Afterschool Club at 4.30 and THW to be taken to Badminton Club for 5. Then there is dinner to prep and cook before collecting THW from BC and ushering wife in from her labours at 7 and 7.30 respectively. A hound doesn't get a minute to himself on a Tuesday afternoon.

I have finished after today till Monday and shall be doing feck all.  cloud9:

Change of plan ~ see earlier schedule. SWMBO has arrived home 3 hours early  eeek:
She was not very happy to find the lane to the back gate blocked by some idiot so she has had to pull up in the lane before reaching our back gates. I have suggested that she take the THW to Badminton Club and picks up Minimus en route as I cannot get my car out with hers parked in the middle of the lane ~ She has gone! 

Now all I have to do is peel some spuds or shall we have oven chips?  rubschin:

If you don't get that saxophone its also worth trying different ways of spelling it, wrongly spelt auctions can save you a fortune as they aren't picket up by the search engine as often.

For future use, go to www.fatfingers.co.uk for incorrectly spelt items. (I was going to put misspelt but if I spelt it wrong Darwin would take the piss)

Putting in "saxaphone" found fifteen additional items
LiFe - It's an "F" in lie

Misspelling works both ways, Nick will shortly take delivery of several sacks of foam.

Still, he could use it for loft insulation.  whistle:

No harm in placing your maximum bid now. Only you and Ebay will know how much that is and your bid will be increased automatically in units of £1 (usually) so as to keep you at the top, as others join the bidding, until they reach the limit you have set.  Ebay will then tell you that you must either increase your upper limit or drop out.
Don't forget to tick the "Watch this item" box.


What are you bidding for? Mine, who will be ten in August, wants a Cornet (plus lessons of course)
