Here's Tess watching her's and Misty's collie friends coming towards her.  As usual she had fun rounding them up and got very brave and tried to take a stick from one of them!  She didn't succeed.  Whilst walking along the marsh got a call from the boiler man who just so happened to be in my village so had to quickly walk back to the car and get back asap.  He was very thorough and I now have heating after he replaced the circuit board.

Had a stressful afternoon as my credit card got declined in the supermarket.  It was all down to purchasing the new laptop the other day apparently as the credit card company thought somebody else was using my card despite me responding to their text, Yes its a legit purchase.  I know they have to do checks and its good that they do but they also make it extremely hard to purchase goods over a certain amount!  I eventually managed to get them to unblock the card to enable me to pay for my groceries, was soo embarrassing!  They have still blocked the laptop payment ... we'll see what tomorrow brings, sigh!
