Bumbling along to be Mortgage Free

Hope your back is feeling better michelle.

Have you tried a dandelion weeder to get them out?
I think that B&Q sell them fairly cheaply and they make life a little easier

Its lovely that you and your neighbour are good friends

My back ache is in spite of buying and using a dandelion weeder. There are just so many, and they seem to be poking out of the ground as quickly as i am getting them.

I've got images in my head of you chasing danelions round the garden :rotfl:

You're always so busy michelle! I hope you're feeling better today (hug)

Hi Michelle...

a thought re your water saving. Have a watering can with a big fill hole by the back door/kitchen door. This can be filled with 'used' water ready for the garden - this can be water you have boiled eggs in, from rinsing vegs/salad etc. Can go straight on the garden if it's cool enough!

(I just walk out with my washing up bowl and fling the water on the rhubarb/strawberries etc - and have been doing that this week as it has been so dry and I likes me rhubarb!)

I really hope mystery shopping is less time consuming when i get my head around it. I didn't mind doing it, so i guess i will look out for more. It's all pocket money anyway.

I find it better to book stuff if I'm going into town anyway or try and get a run of jobs I can do altogether. I've just booked 10 jobs in a little circuit over town.
What did you put your mileage costs down as? I put 40p per mile in my spreadsheet so even though my profit doesn't look massive it is bigger cos it doesn't actually cost be 40p per mile!

Dandelions - my neighbour told me to sprinkle salt around the garden and they won't come back. I think he was possibly hinting that I needed to mow the lawn as we are the only ones who haven't yet

Hope you get things sorted out

I was thinking of looking at MS, but there are not many times that I am kid free when not at work. My memory is also shocking so would probably forget half the things I would need to ask or look for lol.

Hope you get on ok with it x

That is such a great idea, I must waste loads of water that way, just running the tap/shower to get it cold/hot.
I am going to start doing this thanks for tip
