Gosh tis windy, had to turn back half way home cos a tree had fallen down and just before I turned into the lane another branch was across the road but I managed to sneak past. Have warned OH to come the long way round. Had to stop the car on the lane to help DS1 retrieve the bins but had a real struggle closing the car door. Think my lilac tree has had a bashing but will have a proper look tomorrow.

OH and the chaps have been at the workshop so progress being made. Last day for the builders, so hopefully we can put the glass in and we have sparkly internal doors.

OH managed to fix my top oven door last night (only been broke about 6 months) as I was asking him to order some new hinges which are very expensive, so very happy bunny and no more burnt fingers from hot knobs! Wonder if that last word will post?

Payday on Wednesday yabba dabba doo is all I can say.

My mum has fallen over and hurt herself, she has been to hospital but she wouldn't stay even though they wanted her to. We are trying to get a care package in place, not easy with the cuts and even harder when you are 3 hours away. Going to give her a ring as big sis said she didn't sound as chirpy.

Sorry to hear about your Mum L. Yay to payday and completely understand that you can't bear to see your totals increase. Glad to hear the shop is progressing well.

Very very windy here too.
Sorry to hear about your mum.
Hope you can get something sorted out for your mum.
Yah to payday.

New business sounds great and coming along nicely. Sorry to hear about your mum, hope she is feeling better now and is a bit more perky.
Hooray to oven hinges, my oven keeps coming open on its own so Im reduced to the fan oven at the mo. Its because we overwork them and are great cooks of course!

£200 sent to target debt from my wages. Hopefully a bit more tomorrow. DD1 annouced that her schools shoes were dropping to bits, hoping I can glue them as she's only got 6 weeks left at school after the hols and she needs new boulder holders (bras). We are still on the hunt for DS2s trainers which really are needed and DS1 needs to try on his stuff for the prom and see what else we need to get.

Glass has been ordered for the doors and is coming on Tuesday, luckily OH is off with the chaps and will be able to sort it. The DDs have got a riding lesson booked on the proviso their room stays tidy.

Going to booker, lidl and homebase tomorrow. DS1 has got his first exam and I'll have to take him in due to the schools brilliant organisation of having an exam on teacher training day and school transport. Managed to change my day off so sort of a long weekend.

Good stuff L. The shop sounds lovely. has it been expensive setting it up? Will you be selling the lawn mowers and things your OH has been selling on the internet? When's the grand opening? Fingers crossed for a successful enterprise.

lucielle

Yes that's the idea V, however we've never had the space to stock the lawnmowers, so people have bought out of a brochure so this is a big learning curve. It has been quite expensive as the workshop has been a car repair/MOT garage, so converting it into a showroom/office/stores and workshop has been quite a big job. Opening keeps getting moved and probably looking like mid June but it needs to be ASAP as the money is going pretty darn quick.

Been to Booker and spent £103.61, Lidl spent £54.78. Should be it until next Thursday when I go into the Toon to take the chaps for their eye test and then I'll pop into Asda and buy tonnes of breakfast cereal.

Called into Homebase to get some more paint and brushes.

Paid £105 off the cc.
