    Good afternoon you lovely lot!

    Well rain has stopped play for now, well what we had planned. TD is on with towels from hols, washer is back on, both airers full and dehumidifier on to help.

    Called my gas and elec providers this morning, with correct meter readings I am £138 credit on gas and £110 on electricity so as we're moving soon I have cancelled the DDs to both, or I would end up needing bigger refunds. Which means an extra £110 in this months pot, which will come in useful!

    Right, still pouring down, more packing I think
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200
    Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb

    Afternoon all

    One load of washing done, dried and put away.

    Most of today's list doesn't apply to me so I won't be getting a star today. I did all the bedrooms on Wednesday so that's the spare room/s done. I haven't got 20 things to throw away in the whole house let alone in a room. Not that belong to me anyway. I can't throw away DH's stuff.

    Off to catch up reading now.

    Just reread the list and I made a fruit cake this morning so that's the baking bit done. It's still on the cooling tray.

    Just to warn you, this may mean they'll take longer to refund you, as they'll try to use the DD to do this... Did you talk to them and ask them to take next month from the credit, and hopefully the final payment when you call with your closing meter reading?

    Right... off to work out what to pack for a weekend with my parents!
