Miserable day

Didn't sleep till 5.30 am then had to get up at 7!! I hate it when I get hit with these bouts of insomnia! I tried reading, playing games & watching iplayer but to no avail!
Needles to say come evening time I was like a half shut knife!
Took youngest to have her car serviced. Now in my day a service was an oil change, a water top up , check tyres and nearly always didn't cost much!! Her service cost an eye watering £398!! 4 new tyres, wheel alignment, change a bulb (the wrong one!) an oil & water change and oh yes they washed the bloody thing! Next time its due a service it goes to the local garage and not that shower of shysters! Waiting to find out how eldest daughter's service went! Needless to say hubby & I helped youngest as she's between jobs.
How can some folks manage to save heaps of money! My own mother worked as a waitress all her life, yet when she died, she left a tidy sum of money! Mind you she only had the one kid & she wasn't generous on what she gave! We have three and even though they are in their twenties we are still shelling out the bloody spondulacks!

Got a letter from our friend in Portugal that his wife had died last week, this was sad as when they lived in Uist, they were fantastic characters! Full of fun and laughter, we helped them build their crazy thatched house, you should have seen what we were using as insulation! and when we thatched it with heather, we were picking ticks off ourselves for weeks. Great times. Still she leaves us with fantastic funny memories.

Was at the really serious camera club tonight where we indulged in flashing!

Now will I sleep tonight that is the question?
