I finally got to drive it this morning and my smile was from ear to ear. Just one item to be put right, new seat covers to get and I can have it. My only problem is to make my existing fuel last till then so I fill up the new one rather that the old one.I am seriously impressed by the insurance company who actually emailed the changed documents to me within an hour, so now I can go out tomorrow and tax it (another mortgage required).
My workdesk this week is really my whole house and my life. The first list of jobs, including the big one of the whole roof, is complete and the second list well on the way. That includes the base for the new greenhouse, rehanging a door, a new stair gate to keep the dogs penned upstairs with me, a new banister rail, a new door for the gas meter box, and two new cupboards in the porch. I do have a third list to follow. At the moment, I have yet another skip on the front drive, together with a huge van, which swallows up mucky, hairy dogs and spits out sweet smelling shorn dogs.
This the first one, all clean and fresh for the moment - not sure how long it will last, though. I am sure her first task will be to find a muddy puddle.
For those of you still reading, it is time I directed you to the head teacher's office, which you will find by following the bottom corridor till you find this link. Miss Julia will have a lovely long list of real craft desks for you to inspect and enjoy. Have a good week. xxx

Ah, what a lovely new toy, and it's black ... something I share with Henry Ford is a preference for cars that are painted black :) wonder if there's a little van that will swallow up a scruffy cat and bring her back looking pristine. It's not as though Bonnie looks for muddy puddles - water, heaven forbid! But she is getting old and arthritic and can't groom herself as well as she once did, and certainly won't let me do the job - well, not without anaesthetic! Your to-do list is big enough to crush an elephant and I'm exhausted just reading through it. You will need a holiday when you tick off the last item. Have a good week. Elizabeth x #61
very nice, sure the dogs will enjoy their new wheels.
Another skip? oh dear.....

Life sure is busy! I'm very envious about your new motor, I love those cars. Have fun driving it :-)
And has your dog rolled in something disgusting yet?? Lol

Hi Marg- I totally agree about the car tax! Ours is due this month- £260! I nearly fainted when I saw it. I'm sure it wasn't that much last year. By the way, you can do it online, you don't have to jaunt off to the PO, or sort out all the documents- they just check it out online.You are covered from the moment you apply for it too. Have a great week, Hugs, Shaz #45 xx
You seem to have jumped a week missing 219 - I left out the number completely today as I totally lost track of where we are!! Love your new "toy" even though I don't drive (hate it) - enjoy when you get it. Good to read of good service too... Helen 21
Happy WOYWW. Love the Disco! We had one as a courtesy vehicle earlier this year and didn't want to give it back. Good luck with all the other jobs. Ali x #56

Goodness, dear Maggie. That's some new work space (grin). I can see why you're excited.

Maggie, you are amazing. You are achieving so much. Each time we WOYWW you have something else ticked off!! Brilliant. Well done. The new wheels are pretty cool - hope you really enjoy them.
Take care.

Love your new wheels!!! I didn't get to join in last week as I was away visiting mum as my sister went away and mum still needs support. Not as much crafting going on as I would like but doing a bit here and there. Hugs Anne x #77
Sorry I'm late.
Hi Maggie,
What a GREAT new set of wheels! Way back in high school I would manage to put in 25 cents worth of gas and cruise all night - a favorite past time in northern California where I'm from. Right now gas is around $3.50/gallon.
Happy WOYWW
Peace,
