The revenge of the stripey socks - a DFW adventure

Pippilongstocking

Peedie update
Money wise not much happenning - phoen bill to pay - 165 - (50quid calls from french student - but she's fine to pay them so its OK) paid a chunk of CC so will use the spare to pay the bill before we get cut off

Emialed german student about room and terms/conditions etc and to stress its an OLD COLD house in winter - ie bring jumpers. Have said £75 a week but can be flexible to a bit (ish)

Must pick fruit in garden and freeze but its chucking it down at the mo

Unsure washing machine is fixed as still seems a bit dodgy - can folks 'service' them?

Money is tight - jsut sent off one claim for about £300 quid expenses for Aberdeen trip - money is always tight after being away and trips to shops - ergh - lodger money in soon -
Have £150/160 to claim from shetland trip too

DD not started piano lessons again yet (£13 a week) but really need to remind her - she doesnt ask for much - but will see she was really tired last year too much on - so will talk about it

Need to look into going to France in Oct - didnt make it in the summer and for some reason its important for me to go before DS is 16 next year - maybe just in case they steal him, he's getting alot of pressure from the daddy monster to take time out to work on the farm - will see - am pretty nervous about it all.

Logical and normal - probably not, just a feeling. Can't shake it.

Work is OK - ruffled a few feathers here - ce la vie?

Hosing down today and am supposed to be in field - whoops - working on presentation instead.

Waves to all

Started up my spotty pot again (it was cracked open to help brother with house - that's where the money came from - he reminded me - so that's going to cc as it was for the holiday - I borrowed it to myself from my cc as I lent it to him in real life - that answers that one.

Must sort out the pressie boxes and stashes to see EXACTLY what we need to buy for xmas - I don't normally DO xmas - but this year we are all together

We might even stay chez orkney - big hooose - no travel expenses - I may even chuck out an open invite email - but need to see how the surrogate mother is fairing otherwise we will be in North Linconshire (which will be more expensive but fun!)

Oh I'm intrigued now! I thought perhaps I'd got the wrong book - didn't see how you fitted with international terrorists and suffocated Kuwaiti businessmen!!

We hold our own many folks are on remote islands for many many reasons

LOL that actually made me sound sort of interesting!

Paid £10 off evil edna - woo hoo - 5 days £50 gone

Paid another £50 off CC which we use regularily for food etc but it took a hammering when away (only a 500 limit) so chucking some extra into that to try and keep it down a bit til pay day when I can clear it

Paid 200 off the other one from brother money - sensible thing to do but smarted a bit - all my expenses are on that card at the mo - its sitting at about 750

Well it was til I bought a TV on offer in Mr T - which I don't need - but am so fed up with the only TV in the house which doesnt work except on one channel etc - was grumpy, hormonal and had been given a £50 voucher for Mr T from the lovely lasses who stayed with us.

No excuse at all - should have used quidco but thought - stuff it - whoops.

Old tv massive tv which will make someone happy now on freecycle.

Watched the news whilst getting ready for work, seems there is a conker emergency somewhere south.

You see - its educational

German student say's yes please to the room so our room is almost occupied.

:o:o:o:o:o:odeepily embarrassed :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o
found them in the car (having found them previously lost from the post session) and only found them again when unpacking the car to look for DD colapsable top hat (really not a lie)

Sorry Popeye is away again - and its not very warm here so maybe you might need the socks soon

Sorry to be such a rubbish tardy chum - promise to do better colours a bit dull but will be OK in the winter?

Enjoy and keep happy me dear. x
