Oooh exciting times ahead SPEKY! Hope all goes smoothly x

Good morning everyone and middle of the month already :):)
Speky How exciting for you I bet you can't wait.Making a place your own gives you such buzz and home ownership makes it even more special.Our first home was a leaky three bedroomed victorian money pit, but I can still remember our first meal there on bare floorboards with second hand furniture.I thought all my Christmases had come at once I wish you well and how nice that the lady was so helpful in showing you the sort of bills the running costs would be .
Dumpling I do hope you get your Dds sorted out OK and do chew the CMHTs ear off she may be able to help and find a bit of a solution for you all. You are coming on so well over the past few months

Csarina baby steps missus no doing too much

Gers Take no prisoners with your truculent teens show them who's boss :)

T/A red pepper and cream cheese soup ,that sounds lovely, any chance of the recipe pretty please I adore soups and am always on the look out to try different ones

Well this morning is another bright and sunny day so I shall be putting on a wash load as If I chuck in my dressing gown there is just enough in there to warrant a load :), and it looks as though its going to be a nice drying day ahead.
The grass is really coming along now ,good job Mick, my great gardener chap will be here tomorrow morning to give the lawn its first cut.The daffs are all out and the tulips are coming up nicely as well.

I have a bit of baking to be getting on with this morning as well.NSD today though as I have more than enough in the cupboards and I an well into my Love Food, Hate Waste experiment no as its Day 15 and I have barely spent much at all this month, only essentials of things urgently needed so meals are a bit of a freezer roulette :):) but its using up some stuff which I had forgotten about I have decided that the cash I will have saved by Good Friday I will donate to the local food bank to give someone else a bit of a helping hand. So its a win-win ,the more of my own stash of food I use the more the food bank will get in donation. Seems a fair swap to me and a good way to keep on track for the rest of Lent :):)
Hope you all have a fantastic day and the sun shines down on you all

Cheers chums

Speky gosh it really is all moving along now; it's a good sign that the lady showed you all the bills and stuff, so you know what sort of living costs to expect. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it all comes to fruition without any hassle.

Need to pop into Stony Stratford shortly, for photo frames. (There's a shop there that does inexpensive ones). I could do with a new one for my dog-minders licence (as opposed to 2nd hand, tatty jobbie I have) and I also need to get an A5 size one for my shiny new First Aid for Dogs certificate.:D So I'll try to get them matching, I think.

Annoying thing is I have to negotiate with Mr LW to go with me; if I was fit and well, I could just hop in the car and go myself.:mad:

Afternoon all.

The main truculent teen was asked to leave the class, by me, as he arrived after the start. Been warned, didn't think I meant it! All was quiet and well after that, the rest are knuckling down to work. I did a little 'lecture' about it being their future and not mine etc etc - they'll be sick of hearing it though not as sick as me for saying it!

Got back home and then had to go up to the 'big house' to sort out a wifi problem which wasn't a wifi problem but a user problem. They were trying to connect to their wifi using a random / made up password. When I pointed out the password on the back of the BT router I could almost see the penny drop. Anyway, an easy task quickly done and back home. I even refused an offer of a G&T as it was only 1.30p.m. I do have my limits. :rotfl:

Now I'm waiting for the postie as he should be bringing me another Sonos speaker (sssshhhh - don't tell Camelot, it's all her 'fault') for the upstairs hall and a little Amazon Dot for downstairs. This house will be fizzing with technology - the other day I had my neighbours little four year son absolutely awe struck when I turned lights off and on by speaking. Lovely to see him and even lovelier when he tried it too. The innocence of the very young is still touching.

Well done Speky! First houses are always special, you'll be looking at and buying for it soon enough. I hope it all pans out for you.

Late to the party today.

I overslept this morning after being awake in the night so it was a rush to get up dressed and out of the door so i wouldn't be late.

I haven't read all the thread but did scroll through and saw news from SPEKY about the flat. How exciting :T..hope everything runs smoothly and the lady finds somewhere to buy soon
I trust we are all invited to the flat warming :cool:

Well I shall now scroll back and read everyone elses news whilst I drink a cuppa.

Have a good evening all
