Commy Tommy

Tom went on an expedition to Manchester today, with 12 schoolfriends. He came back proudly wearing this t-shirt which he had bought. I worry about him. That's all I have to say about that!
Our dishwasher has died :( so I called out my trusty (and reasonably priced) machine repair man, who rescues my washing machine and tumble drier whenever necessary. Sadly he has suffered a stroke and although he's okay, he wasn't able to come and save my dishwasher. I found another company, but they were going to charge £70 just to look at it. The next man I tried was offering a free estimate. He came out today and said that it would cost £130 to repair. It is about 13 years old, and when the mood takes it it just refuses to clean things properly. The good news is that he's fitting me a brand new one on Monday, for just a few pennies more.
Anni and I have been in recovery from yesterday's long trip (and having to get Tom to the train station early this morning) and have been pottering. This afternoon we watched The Notebook with Chloe. I so loved that film; it made me cry.
This evening I went to weightwatchers and I have lost an entire stone (plus half a pound) in six weeks!
