Congrats Tami! And well done on your meat win! haha

My LMH today is actually two. I got my new camera in the post today that my husband ordered for me! So excited to have proper weather to go out and play around with it! Second is that we had an open house. Only 1 person of 3 showed up, unfortunately, but that one person said they were very interested.
My, how time flies....

Thanks! If it happens, it happens. If not, we aren't in a rush :) They had positive feedback (and literally only live in the area directly behind us LOL) and they liked what we've done with the loft space but they are waiting for an offer on their place so who knows how long it could take if they DID want to go for it.

There's just too many shows to watch and not nearly enough time to watch them...Going to watch Ozark next I think.

I just finished Ozark!!! Amazing! There is nothing about this show that I don't like!

And Ruth..  [smiley=smitten.gif]

Meat raffle!!!  [smiley=laugh4.gif] [smiley=laugh4.gif]
I'm laughing, but I have to say... i'd have preferred meat to a lot of the other crap I've won in raffles over the years!

I ended up with 2 meat hampers because one of my coworkers won one and he didn't want it. (Like what?) Young pharmacy students too drunk to care.

Food has got too expensive to turn it down like that!  But more for you, so yay!

I'd never heard of a meat raffle before I moved over here, and my first full year here, we went to the pub in the next village, where they did one.  My husband bought the ticket and gave it to me to keep track of, and I had no idea what it was for.   Imagine, if you can, my total confusion when our ticket was drawn and I had to claim... a pile of meat?  But it was a decent selection of cuts of pork and beef, and we enjoyed all of it!
