day of Rest???

Why is that everything seems to break-down at once?

Its going to be an expensive week – both showers have gone kaput, the washing machine wont drain and the tumble dryer has packed up!

Mind you I cant complain, they are all over 17 years old and have never been a problem! But WHY all go at once!!!!

So , today has been an expensive day – but for another reason – I went to Stamp magic at Doncaster – I wasn't going to spend a lot but then of course you are drawn in – I am a sucker for a stamp and a juicy inkpad!

Onto a challenge, well 8 actually!
