Morning everyone,

Very sorry to hear about DD's dog Hester they are so precious aren't they and its tough when we lose them x
Hey Speky
Sorry Silver-Oldie but I did lol at your Mum's comment re coming with you!

Late up this morning after another rubbish nights sleep but gradually starting to come round after coffee with eggs.
DOH has announced he is taking the day off so we can go to the races :j silly to live so close and not go more often so will raid my treat fund for some betting money. It's a bit cold and overcast but no matter, will be lovely to get out and about.
Have a good day folks x

Good afternoon everyone, thanks to nmlc for starting the thread and hugs to anyone that needs one.

It is the first day of the kid's summer break here and of course it's pouring (and quite chilly):(.

I'm having a quiet day today as recovering from my balance session with the specialist yesterday so feeling somewhat unsteady and wiped out (think fun fair rides but without the "fun" aspect :eek:), so a good excuse to catch up on some admin for the voluntary group I support:).

Given the weather I think a comforting pasta dish may well be in order for dinner tonight:D.

I hope everyone has a good day x

Afternoon all,

Very overcast here today, no rain yet.....we might get away with that today.

Expensive day yesterday, had to replace 3 tyres on the car.....€180, ouch!

Hester....sorry to hear about DDs dog, very upsetting.

We are having fish, veg and maybe chips for dinner. Bought some local strawberries while in town, will have them with cream as pudding.

We had breakfast rolls and tea after OHs hospital visit this morn ing, went to see DD4 and family afterwards, the girls are so cute, but full time work as they are into everything.

Going to wait until Tuesday to get a new phone, will be accompanied by DGS 2 and DGD2.....not sure thats a good idea as money means nothing to them and they will no doubt be pushing for the most hi tech phone available!

Hugs to all

Marie

Nels its a bit nippy at the moment, it was quite nice first thing ,now the clouds are getting thicker and its quite dark so we maybe in for a drop of the wet stuff.

Its true we do have warmer summers in the south, but the downside is we get quite a lot of extremely dry weather and I am a fresh air fan, so when its hot and humid I am looking for a drop of rain to freshen the air (no pleasing some folk is there.

I like it at aound 18-19c with a slight breeze and overnight rain to freshen the land up :):) (don't want much do I )

Well I had to spend half the morning on the phone trying to get through to various departments about my change of car number plate. I have an exemption for the Dartford Tunnel, and like all government, and large corporations its press this button then press that one next and it takes forever to get through to an actual human being Grr.

But eventually everything got sorted and I have just done my six month budget accounts from Jan -June and happily its come in at less then the previous July-December budget by around £60 odd :):) actually had six months food budget of £60 per month =£360.00 came in at a tad over £299.odd so I am pleased that my Love Food Hate waste seems to be paying off.

The residue from each month has been swept into my holiday accounts, so extra Happy Cash for the holidays :):) win-win I think . And I sent a cheque to the Trussell trust at Easter with my saved Lent money as well .:):):)

So new 6 month budget starts on Saturday 1st July hopefully if I keep on track and food prices don't rocket too much ,using up what I have before buying more in will again bring me in under budget

I had a result from Virgin yesterday as well and got a reduction in my Virgin bundle for the next year as well. All working out OK so far, EDF are fixed at a reasonable price as well I am combing through the accounts with an eagle eye and cutting bits where I can:):):)

Have a good afternoon chums
