Pigpen do you still have your cleaner?
No she chose hubby over me and claimed it wasn't worth her bother for the money and she was too tired.. basically hubby whined at her that we had separated and she quit.. no worried cos I'd be strapped to pay her at the moment so really she has done me a favour.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

Hello everyone, I've got a BB signal for a little while again so may aswell use it.
JennyBee Happy Birthday
Had one heck of a week so far inc forgetting stuff, awning pole snapping due to winds (managed to replace it) now moved to sheltered spot, first day DP did his ankle in which was not fun at all! Because of that I've been unable to go see some people I wanted tomaybe next week when he comes back. Oh yes, I have a cold too but the good news is DPs brothers just took him home so me, the boys, the dog PEACE AT LAST!
