Preparation for our holiday

Backblipping this on 15th March


Had a bit of an upset this morning.  We are investigating getting a wildlife pond in our garden, and this morning, one of the people whom we had contacted for a quote, shocked us by quoting £17,000.  When he visited us a couple of weeks ago, he had given a "rough estimate" as between £8000 and £12000 - and even these seemed a bit steep, but he had impressed us with his enthusiasm and his knowledge, and we were looking forward to his final figure.

Oh well - back to the drawing board - we've rung round for a couple of further quotes.

I then went off to work, and returned to a parcel of clothes from a catalogue.  Most of them will be going back - wrong shape, wrong size, too long etc etc.  But quite a nice "maxi dress" amongst them.
