Lucielle's daring debt free journey

Went to visit mum and hopefully got a new home sorted. Just waiting for a bed. We decided to let middle sister choose the home then hopefully she'll behave.
Had 2 days off this week and certainly needed it. Been knackered ever since I went to see mum. Went into the big town to get some jobs done and got a new top for tonight. Going to a 40th party. Also got my eyebrows threaded and the girls had theirs done.
Yesterday, went to local National Trust place that was opening for free during half term. Ashamed to say even though its only 15 mins away never been in the house.
Been having a lazy couple of afternoons and watching the Game of Thrones again. Can't wait until the new series starts.
Went in to town as the DDs needed their haircut, spent my Christmas vouchers on some nice ear rings which I'll wear tonight.
Had a visit from the accountant this week, she said things were looking ok.

I had an absolute ball at the party last week. Myself and DD2 were the last to leave the dance floor and I treated the DJ as if he was my personal Ipod. Arrived home just after 1 am to find the police following us in. OH driving and very sober me perhaps not so much so but not completely wrecked. They had received a 999 call from DS1s phone to say somebody had been assaulted and were trying to get to the bottom of it.
DS1 not answering phone. Luckily DD2 got onto the land of face and tracked him down. DD1 arrived home first and told us where he was, finally he arrived. Apparently he'd lost his phone and 1 of his so called mates had found it and made the call. A bit of straight talking was done and finally got to bed at about 3.30. Did put a bit of a dampner on the evening.
On Monday night went to a meeting about using the social media as an advertising tool. I have a real hang up over FB really not sure why. All the chaps have it, but it bores me rigid. I have a mental image of how I would use as an advertising tool but can't bring myself to marry the 2 up. Anyway had a great meeting and it was recommended that we start with Twitter. Well peeps this techno phobe has managed to set up a Twitter account. Now I haven't actually teeted, just one step at time you understand. Mind you till I understand it a bit better it could take a while!
OH had a meeting on Tuesday morning about selling to the M.O.D, could also be another potential income stream but needs some thought. He's away to a sale today as got a trailer to sell.
Had a lovely day off and met up with a friend. We went to a place called Craster (famous for its kippers, yuck!) had a lovely lunch, of some sort of crab thingy on toast with a sweetcorn chowder, which was to die for. Never mind the cupful I got I could've slurped a troughful. Had a walk over to the ruins on Dunstanburgh castle, a nice walk along the shore a bit windy though. Came back and had tea and cake! What a fab day!
Work has been particularly boring and I dream of the day when I can go and work on my own business full time, even thought the accountant doesn't think its a good idea.
Off to watch the Young Farmers play again on Sunday. Sadly they didn't get put through to the final but there has been uproar about the judging process. Never mind better luck next time.
Have pegged some washing out and now have the urge to bake.

Sounds like you had a fun night despite the fb scenario. Well done to the baking and hanging out some washing, that seems quite unheard of still. Today the sun is shining I feel like carp but you have inspired me to go hang out some washing.Visa £[STRIKE]5063 [/STRIKE]now 0. Loan 1 €[STRIKE]4885[/STRIKE] now 0.

Hi Turfy, great to hear from you, was wondering where you had got to. Sorry you're still feeling rubbish, is it time you went to the docs?
If it makes you feel any better the flapjack was a disaster. More like crumbs and perhaps ahould've lined the tin.

I still haven't got a washing line, so can't peg mine out:( The ground needs leveling before I can think about the pleasures of a washing line.
Sounds like a wonderful night out, shame about shame about DS1 having his nincompoop head on. Roll on the day we can implant their phones. My DS2 has lost so many it's untrue. I usually know when he's lost it or put it down as I get some random message from one of his friends written with the aim of maximum embarrassment to DS2.Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30
