Forgot to say that DS1 has got a new job and is in the process of moving out. Went to a local place and bought a new cooker, washer and TV, It should've been £950 got it for £890 and the they gave him a Tefal pan set worth £80. I've got serious pan envy!


After that we went to Ikea and he got a bed, mattress, protector, set of bedding and a tv stand. Think he's feeling skint now. He's got to source some metal panels to make his dog kennels and then I think He's about done. Managed to source some curtains pretty cheaply and I had some knocking around.

What a wonderful setting L. Is it going to be a holiday cottage again?
Congratulations.

For now it is. I was so excited yesterday as the cottage went live on the website on Friday and yesterday we got 3 bookings and one is for 2 weeks!!! So that's the whole of July booked.

Hello


Lots been happening as per norm. Been off for our girly trip and took my friend we didn't tell her we owned the house until the evening.


We stayed 1 night at Crieff, the next day we did watersports then drove to Kinlochleven and did Via Ferrati which is climbing up a waterfall then onto Skye. Had a great few days and didn't want to come home. Friend enjoyed her time as it was part of her 60th birthday present.


First payment of holiday cottage in so first payment of 1k paid back to loan.


Making progress paying the car off which is on 0% and aim to have that cleared by September.


Ready for our next holiday to Skye which is on the 6th of August. Got to go and pick a friend up beforehand from Millom as she's coming with us. DS1 isn't coming as he can't get time off work. He's moved out but keeps popping back to gaze longingly at the fridge and keeps eyeballing my washing powder!!!


Fed up with work asked if we were getting a payrise and we aren't because it was a poor start to the year. Yet on Wednesday all 'upper' management went to the races and had a night in a hotel. Have expressed my disgust and the office manager who's supposed to manage told me to take it up with the boss. Cheers spineless ****!


Have got some big ideas for next year. Its OHs 50th and our 25th wedding anniversary. Would really like to go abroad as we haven't been abroad since DS2 was 6 months old and he's 18 in September. Currently thinking about Morocco, anybody else think of anything?


Just done the park run but was late starting so haven't done that well.

Where are we up to? Hurt my heel doing the park run so not done that since and not much exercise of any kind unless eating far too much chocolate counts really need to get my head back in the zone.


Off on holiday a week on Saturday so been getting things sorted for that. Still not got bank holiday week booked but fingers crossed it will go.


Paid £2000 off the amount we owe so that brings it down to 58k. Struggling to get the student finance sorted for DD1 seem to have cocked it up good and proper. Also need to sort accommodation out for DD2 and paperwork to sort for that. The accountant seems to be avoiding me at the moment but I really need her input.


We've had new computers installed at the workshop and I've now got a laptop solely for accounts and business work, again I need the accountant to put the accounts on! I've got a mountain of paperwork building up.


Izzy is doing fine, she's learnt how to play fetch, sit and lie down but isn't brilliant at coming to her name so working on that.
