Sunday is Mike's abseil.
He was very optimistic that he could make £1000 with all the "friends" he has. It is very clear now how good some of those friends are! You can also donate by text message in the UK by sending a text with the message:
MPDG55 £1* / £2* / £10* to 70070 (* donation amount as you see fit).
I have started my own little business selling retro items online and at fayres. It is early days still, but I enjoy meeting people at the auctions and even better talking to those who are passionate about the things I am selling.
A major fly in my personal ointment (strange saying!) was a letter that my youngest daughter wrote informing me she was pregnant. This came about a week after I found out she had not done at all well in her A levels and was not going to go to university or college. I was mad about the exams, furious about the letter and I will spare you the details of what was said when she calmly assumed I was going to let her carry on as if nothing had changed. She has moved out now.
Mike thinks it is great that we pretty much have the house to ourselves now. Toni isn't so happy.
