Before I start today Shimelle suggested we play a little game. I have guessed how many words I think my blog post will be today and I would ask you to do the same. Have a guess how many words it is ….. and no sneaking down to the bottom as the answer is at the end of the post. Do post to let me know how close or far away you were.
I am now officially behind with My Freedom as I didn’t do my Inspiration page yesterday and I haven’t done my aspiration page today. I will catch up – but possibly not today LOL.
I have, however, been busy scrapping. Someone said they checked my blog to see if the month in my life pages had been posted or not – or maybe I had given up. I am still trudging my way through it and so far have kept up to date, doing a page a day. I think it is going to be interesting to look back on and maybe something I would like to try another time as well. Although in all honesty it is good it is holiday time as I have something to write most days!
So the 15th, 16th and 17th are sprinkled through this post.
Nigel has been off today which is always nice. We had no plans – just as well as the weather is fairly pooh again. No summer this year that’s for sure. We went out for breakfast at Asda. Oh yes – we know how to live the high life I can tell you. Actually Asda is good for breakfast as a treat – a nice full English for Nigel and egg and beans on toast for me. We had a cooked breakfast at the motorway services the other day on the way to the safari park and it was £14.00+ Today’s – just £4.75 including the 2 hot chocolates.
We popped into town and browsed a little and I managed to get 2 really comfy pairs of shoes and a couple of nice tops. Did I need any of it? Actually yes I did. I needed one of the pairs of shoes to replace my trust navy sandals that finally had to be thrown out after 6 summers of work wear. The other things – well I am not sure NEED is the right word.
We came home and slobbed around really – just so nice to be able to do that.
Now I am saying a tentative goodbye to you all. Virgin are coming tomorrow to replace our set top boxes and install a newer faster non set top box internet and a new wireless network. Our internet has been awful lately – off more than it is on – and so I am sure it can’t be much worse. Of course we may end up with nothing – but I hope not. Keep everything crossed for me that I may return tomorrow evening, faster, more reliable and – this is the unbelievable bit – cheaper.
If you don’t see me for a while you know it wasn’t a success.
So – how did we all get on. I guessed that I would write between five and six hundred words.
What did you guess?
The actual answer was (and I am putting it in words not figures in case you decided to cheat and have a peak) was five hundred and twenty nine words to the end of the proper post and before all the rambling about counting.
I soooo got it wrong, I thought you would be short and to the point so guessed 250 words, although I love what you wrote so it's a bonus for me. Looking forward to seeing your LO for today.

Love the l/o's - neat album you're making! I may have to try that one! I guessed about 600 words! A bit high!
