    It's nice to be back :D
    Had a pleasant weekend with the out-laws, returning with our Christmas presents and a goodly amount of cuttings from their garden.

    This evening I've been through our money, it will be a close run thing to pay off the interest free credit card before the offer expires, but if we're very very good we may manage it :D
    On the plus side the piano is sold, I've a few more things to e-bay and I have been picking up mystery shops recently. :D
    On the downside, there isn't anything spare for car-servicing (I should do that soon) or emergencies or expensive treats :o

    Ah, at last FK is not in the office and I can come on here ;)
    Work has not improved over the last couple of weeks, and added to that, the family are pressurising me to go out and join Popeye - :confused: do they hate me that much?

    I tell them I'd be bored (he works v e r y l o n g hours, and I wouldn't be allowed to get a work permit so would be home alone)
    I don't tell them that we're in debt still.......

    But it would be tempting to leave this office, not because I don't like my job, but because of the people I work with :o

    It is sunny and I wish I was in the garden sorting out the veg patch.

    In the meantime Popeye has:
    • sorted the shed
    • built 2 more raised beds which are now being warmed by some secondary glazing panels we had.
    • mown the lawn :jI hate that job
    • fixed a sticking door (washing machine flooded while he was away and the door to the utility room swelled)
    • heaved loads of potting compost to down near the veg patch :D
    • Admired all the stuff I'd done while he was away. :D:D
    He did NOT do:
    • the bookshelves in the hall
    • putting up the picture in the lodgers room
    • boarding the bit of loft that I struggle over
    • replacing the threshhold in the bedroom
    but he is forgiven.

    And I now have to think of my next list of things to achieve by the next visit......
