Today’s Bargain of the day for one day only 20% off all Womens shoes at Marks and Spencer.

Mal and I decided it is time for a Spring clean and a ‘dumping’ session of some of the things we really won’t use again!

Our purple bush in the garden is looking lovely but I can’t for the life of me remember what it is called!

Now this is food for thought.

I was listening to “Steve Wright in the afternoon” on the radio and I am quite shocked that frost, snow and goodness knows what else is heading for the UK! Looks as though their early summer may be over.

Sunday 1st April 2012

Well, of course Mal had to do his usual April Fool! It was a cloudy, dismal day, as soon as the sun came out, it went again just as quickly. In fact in the evening we lit the log burner.

My sister rang and told me all about their day at the Olympic Stadium. Marion and my other niece Wendy went to support Julie. She said it was freezing there and the arrangements to get in and out of the stadium were chaotic, hopefully theyare making other plans ready for when it is in  full use. Or the spectators will spend half their time gridlocked trying to cross the road. They saw Princess Beatrice who was also running and many other stars.

Perhaps I should also add that Julie (who did the run) is running in the Reading Half Marathon today. She is a mother of three young children and a GP’s wife and she raises a lot of money for Cancer Research. Well done Julie!

In the afternoon we watched the Liverpool v Newcastle game followed by Spurs and Swansea. You have to admire Swansea and it was so nice at the end of the game to see the two Managers having a long chat pitch side.

As the weather in the UK is so good at the moment, there are some good bargains for outdoor furniture but they seem to be selling out quick, obviously with an extra 15% off!
