The revenge of the stripey socks - a DFW adventure

Pippilongstocking

I know what you mean KK - my life is very random (incase any of you hadn't noticed). Planning and structure - not really great at those, more of a fly by the seat of my pants kinda gal.

Seat pant flying however, I fear, has got me into this predicament!!!!


Morning

Pippilongstocking

HI All, trying to catch up. Fay, I'll pm you by end of today. Chasing my proverbial tail at the moment!

Pippilongstocking

Peedie update - first little tiny tomato seedling popped through.

Sent off CC+ application this am - so that should be back soon.

Worked out now that ex hubby has been silly and moved dates for kids that I can prob take them to Edinburgh and use work to pay as I have a course the following week - therefore take car and fill up on stuff for home - will help with planning and go for free instead of paying £200 myself.

Office mate now saying he's definately coming to move in with us - so need to thrash out t & c and then he's moving in either the day after B&B chap moves out or within a week or so - so I will drop a bit of income (but net income should be the same as I won't be feeding him) Hurrah.

Technically I guess that means I will be living in my house for nothing as they will more than cover the rent whilst I live there. How cool is that - more money for debts. (wee dance in seat)

Paid more to loan and need to seriously meal plan for next couple weeks - determined to tackle my food spends this month.

Brother is back so hoping he will contribute to log chopping and general wee diy things. Hurrah also.

Farm has lots of bruck in the way of wood that needs moving so offered my services for free (FREE FREE FREE) wood. Double hurrah.

More rewrites today - it seems, it is true, I cannot actually construct a sentence properly. (mutters in the manner of good old Mutley)

Need to bake tonight as brother is a biscuit machine and I am not buying them again.

Managed to get a computer desk on freecycle pick it up later this week - brilliant.

Hope you all good.

Morning! Hey, there's a *lot* of good news in that post :j Thats brill. Especially the tomato seedling, lol. I need to make sure I *use* the little veg patch I've made now - I'm not very good at following up on things in the garden

Karmacat i'm there with you on the great plans useless follow through for my veggie plot.
Now i want little tomato seedlings - i'm jealous!, i'm going to have to get busy aren't i?
Fay i need to meal plan a lot better, specially as we're down to a weekly food budget of 10 squids including the cats who are getting fussier and are in for a shock!

I changed my cat from wet to dry food - she sulked for about 5 days - then scoffed the lot happily.

I think of it as a challenge with a toddler - you can't give in - a cat is not going to starve itself.

HI LT xx £10 a week - OMG - read mazb quickly!!

Hey you! look at you with the meal planning, how cool are you?? You'll be out of debt in no time at all! Do you have an overall total or are you like me, doing it in phases?

That's a cheery update Fay - lots of good news.
And it reminded me that my garlic has started shoots :j
Still no sign of the broad beans (planted in October.....)

And I got a Haynes manual for DS1's car on freecycle :j
