Personal List

• Find 200 photo's out of 850 to get developed for Wedding Scrapbook
• Plant up (what's left) lettuce's, carrots, pea's
• Clicks
• Scratch *3 x fish = 10p, decided to try a scratch card, didn't win, never mind, hopefully getting a Complimentary £2 from TAB, who's guessing that will go into bonus?*
• Go shopping and stick to list

Have left the GH open again today, 2 of the lettuce's are beginning to stand so there might be some good after all but doubt if the carrots will ever get back up, never mind, you learn from your mistakes. Listening to Mum about weather reports when she is 450 miles away is definitely a mistake!!! :rotfl:

Hope everyone can enjoy the sun while we still have it

Morning Guys

Only a quick message as not doing too well and cant concentrate for long periods of time so I'll probably forget what I wanted to ask in case anyone has a look.

I have 2 credit cards that I'm planning on throwing everything I can at, which mean's that I'll be saving loads of interest but no money will be going into any savings. Me and OH might be moving again soon so obviously we will need money for that but I'm not sure whether I should just pay the minimum on the CC's for awhile so that we can save enough money to move when we would like instead of having to wait longer if I pay the CC's off first, or throwing half at CC's and half into savings or wether to wait till CC's are paid off (could be next year but then we'd have to wait another 6-8 months to move) I got no idea what I need to do so any idea's on what to do would be great.
The reason we'd need savings to move is because we will be moving back to Cornwall(400 odd miles), so we'd need a removal (or very large) van, deposit and rent for a few months and money for bills, shopping etc in case we don't get jobs right away. It's difficult to explain without telling the whole story but any idea's would be great.
Health not doing too good, ME/CFS has flared up again and earliest Dr appointment I could Pre-Book is next Tuesday at 5.20 as I need a late one after work (money first, health second at the moment) I just need some tablets to help with some of the on-going symptoms, took me 3 years to get myself back on track and taken me 6 months to undo it all!! :mad: So not a happy bunny at the moment, haven't been able to do much 'flying' or clicks, managing the scratch's but don't have the concentration to do the clicks, will do when I can look at same thing for longer than 5 minutes.
Hope everyone is ok and sorry for the moan

Feel free to moan! Sorry to hear you're not feeling good - just take care of yourself, I know work is important but don't overdo it and make yourself more ill, okay?

Also LOL@ floordrobe:D

You certainly have some fabulous lists to follow - as you may know I'm a huge fan of lists and you get a fair bit done don't you?

Take care x

Hi Bevan - I think I would make a moving budget and set some aside each month to cover it unless you are paying high interest charges in which case you may as well wait until nearer the time...?

Morning Guys

Still not doing too well, I'm absolutely drained. Didn't manage to get much done at all over the weekend, but I have finally planted my potatoes outside The veg that I thought had died the other week did, so I re-planted more seeds and I now have lettuce, rocket, beetroot, turnips and broccoli seedlings. Strawberries and blackberry plant's are doing well, left the blackberry out for the first time last night and is still alive this morning so think it can stay out from now That was all unfortunately, no flying done, although the house could do with it!! OH is at Disneyland Paris with his step son on a school trip, seem to be having a good time I managed to get halfway through the HUGE pile of dishes yesterday, got rest to do tonight hopefully if energy level picks up.

I'm dreading/looking forward to Dr's tomorrow, hopefully they will give me the tablets I need but he might try and tell me to take time off which I know I should do but there is no way we can financially cope on sick pay! So trying to work through it, luckily my job doesn't normally need a lot of energy as it's mainly computer based in an office But there is the odd time when someone needs me in the bar. Cant wait for OH to come home tomorrow night, he can take over with dishes and cooking for a few days.

The moving budget I have decided to still pay more than minimum on the higher interest CC but only half what I was going to do, will take me longer to clear but atleast we'll have some money left over in case we do need to move this year.

Jo_R I wish I could get through as much as I'd like to but with this dratted illness it can make things rather difficult It's been 7yrs now and I don't remember what 'normal' feels like anymore.

Hope everyone is ok
