So another bit of cash for the evil debts.
Thinking of using some of it for debt and some of it for a seriously good lawn mower - which I know is outrageous but we have alot of garden to mow and guess who might have to do it??

Sounds essential to me in the way a washing machine is essential when you have a family - it's a no brainer! Will it be a sit on and ride lawnmower, can I come and play????

Well that's the idea potentially - as DS wants to custom PIMP it with go faster stripes etc

I figure if it gets them interested in mowing the lawn then its worth every penny.

Slave labour is absolutely the way forward - uh hum I mean - giving the children skills for later in life that will promote their well being:D

Well finally gave in to my toothache. Appointment with emergency dentist tomorrow on the same day I have hospital. Couldn't have planned that better could I?

A pimped lawnmower?! Excellent idea, suggest you have some sort of sensor system put around the flower beds if DS is driving it....

lol about the lawn mower.
start my holiday today yay - it's been a long time coming even if we do have lots of jobs to do whilst we're off
found a home for my fishies so i guess that means we're officially getting rid of the pond.

Hi LT

Just been in the conservatory - previously the evil ice cave. Done some butchering - sorry harsh pruning of some plants in there - scary now cos everyone looks like they have been on a very severe diet.

Glad the fishes are rehomed - my tropical fish now live in the pond of the tropical house of edinburgh botanic garden - tee hee - long sneaky story - hope your fish went to a nice home.

So lots of plans for your time off - are you both off at the same time.

Mower, to be fair - we will need - we have been left a mower but its tiny and we have 4 normalish sized lawns and one at the back that is probably the sizze of quarter of a football pitch - the oddest thing today - was knowing exactly what money was in the bank, exactly how much would be coming in and going out and that I could use a certain card to give them a hefty deposit of half the full price - wierd.

Just suddenly realised that I may even be UNDER food budget this month - but I wont say that until I make it!!

What's everyone been upto???? Any naughtiness???

i darent show my DS the references to pimped up sit on lawnmowers, he'd be on the next plane up there, with great ideas, has a plan one day to have a garage that doesnt have cars in it, but pimped up granny mobiles, golf carts, airport baggage train thingys, lawnmowers and allsorts of strange things like that

been out late night shopping with my pal. Was bad, bought a gorgeous top. Feel a little guilty but its been ages since I bought non-work clothes. Had a nice night, no work tomorrow but hospital and dentist. At least its not early so I can have a bit of lie in. What's everyone else been upto?
