    Hey chaps

    Today from sunny shetland

    Checked bank on phone for free (i love my phone)
    Paid BB lady in cash - my room was smaller and no shower (didn't bother me - bathroom upstairs anyway) - so I got my room for £20 instead of £35 - hurrah as its on expenses I can bill for the £35 :)
    Got some lovely local fabric to make napkins from a local shop - and a couple wee xmas pressies
    Visited a few places for work and made some contacts
    Talked to OH on phone about potentially looking for somewhere good for a bunkhouse/b&b and plant nursery for us to live long term - in the highlands somewhere an dhe seems keen :)

    Did a bit more digging into 'frugal ethical weddings' - Ie green wedding which costs nothing but the licence - we are now bantering ideas together - :)

    Aside that not much - working late tonight - all food claimed os far from expenses and didnt use any electricity etc over past 2 days

    Waves to all - up for a catch up :)
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:

    Hi all, Lots of exciting plans, especially for you Fay!

    Glad to hear Pip has escaped piggy flu.

    1) Went to work

    2) Sc x 50p

    3) Checked Quidco, bank, survey sites etc

    4) Went to library ( next door to work, v handy indeed!). Got a newly released novel and a book about sewing - which looks a bit beyond me to be honest!

    5) LSD. Just a paper and 50p on whoopsied veggie samosas.

    6) Will make a cheap lentil curry to go with them for tea.

    7) Packed breakfast and lunch!

    8) We want to go the pub and do a quiz but will have to sit in the garden cos of the kids. But it looks like it will pee down, so we probably won't make it . At least that will save a bit of money. One day I will have a social life again!
