    Unfortunately debt busting has to carry on until I get a payment from insurance.I am not making as many overpayments as nornal as we have a lot coming up before the end of July ....

    car tax...£150
    little paint job on car and rear light cluster replacing...£40
    DHs badge....£90 ish..if crb and medical not due
    car service...£200 ish
    pits test...£165
    full steam clean and valet...£150
    DHs tax bill...
    Accountants...£165ish


    These are just the extras....on top of subs,diesel,tyres,repairs etc that may be needed plus ordinary bills and payments....

    So I'll hold back on overpayments for now as need a fair amount of money over the next 7 weeks or so..lol

    I sat in the garden tonight and listened to the birds it was free and beautiful good for the mind and spirit, its amazing what we take for granted.
    When we are all rich and famous or even debt free we can do lots of pamper days

    Hi Taxi - what a lovely day. I hope tomorrow is equally nice and that you love your new haircut. :)

    Tonight we had a kind of indoor BBQ. It was very fun. That was my nice thing for today. :) x

    In haste as will be late for church! Sounds like a nice few days with chippies, TLC and growing potatoes plus hair and relaxation! Re the books it may be worth trying those books on tape - when recouping it can be hard to concentrate but with talking books you just lie there and listen (and drift off to sleep sometimes but thats ok) ....have a lovely day. Great that you are seeing teh beauty in little things...Ive just enjoyed a bird eating out of the bird feeder attached to my window...until Isoke spotted it and the bird she!!
