Milanns mutterings on this last milestone.

sounds like a great plan and some fun stuff.

Ended up phoning the loan company yesterday to see how much was left to pay - I was pleasantly surprised £1.350 and I transferred 1 bank transfer.... whilst I was doing that I had to remove a hearing aid - apparently there is a knack of using it on the phone which I certainly don't have LOL.When dh came home later that evening and I spoke to him - I realised I was an aid short of a pair LOL (my voice sounded funny) - I re-traced my steps trying to remember what I'd done with it - couldn't find it ANYWHERE - I had boxes of stuff out searching as I remember having it in my hand as I was on phone then went back to craft room sorting!!! One thought process led to another (I'm scary when I think!!) I couldn't remember what I'd done with £50 gift voucher I'd had as leaving pressie from work - so I was searching for both..... by 10pm last night - I'd emptied bins, been through boxes, up turned chairs - NO JOY.

I eventually found my hearing aid after stripping the bed back - as I'd sat on bed using phone I must have put it down and it slipped between duvet and pillow INTO the bed - and i'd put the voucher in a box with the cup that I'd had bouhgt me too - WHY anyway I was pleased to have found both...and how on earth did searching for hearing aid make me think about theatre gift voucher - scary LOL LOL LOL

Craft room is sparkly clean and fresh and I'm just about to do a bit of ironing and pack a few things for tomorrrow when I go to dd's. Am going out this afternoon to see one of our children and his mum from old job. So giving myself a 'talking to' the other day must have paid off

Have a good weekend everyone - I'm planning to

have a great weekend yourself and glad you found your voucher and hearing aid.

Had a lovely weekend at dd's but true to form it rained!! Didn't stop us going out though we managed to dodge the heaviest showers.

Arrived home at tea time. I was very good and had tea from freezer - I was tempted to go out and eat but resisted - am currently polishing my halo LOL.

Off to ds house for a few days to help decorate - just emulsioning. I am quite looking forward to it - I love painting. It is a few years since I did here and it will probably need doing by next year - think dh is pleased I've got myself a 'project' and not getting itchy palms to do here over the holidays.

I had the week painting with ds - hard work but very satisfying. We finished the week with a day out as he bought new accessories to set off and a lovely meal out. So a tiring but enjoyable week - it passed so quickly.

Over the weekend myself and dh just pottered all day Saturday and went into Wales on SUnday - it was lovely in the sunshine. Not very MSE though - coffee, ice cream and a meal out - OUCH!!

A friend from my old work came round today - we chatted and put the world to rights all day. By the time she went I couldn't believe just how tired I was - I think my busy week must have caught up with me.

I have a letter to go for a medical on Wednesday - for my new job. I'm hoping they'll pass me as I have handed my notice in, had leaving pressie and everything......quite what will happen if they decide in their wisdom I'm not fit I don't know. Can't go back - can't start new job!!!!!!

I suspect it is a formality as I have had to have medicals in the past - as soon as they see the name of a bone condition that affects my family (even though I only have it very mildly) they tend to panic. At least I can say I have done this line of work for several years and not had any problems from the kids - or they from me LOL. This same department certified me fit for work after my ops too - so hopefully I've no reason to be concerned - all the same I'll be glad when it is over with!!

I've nothing other than a little light tidying and hoovering planned for tomorrow. I might even get as far as making some birthday cards to have in ready for the hundreds of birthdays my friends and family seem to have between now and Christmas.

Glad you had a good if tiring week.
Sure all will be fine on Wednesday.

Hi Milann - hope the medical goes well.... I always panic when I have medicals too as I have a long term condition but have always managed to get thro the medical!

Sounds like the holidays have gone well despite the weather - I bet your kids have been glad of the help and the company even if they are all grown up!

Good luck with the medical sure it will be fine.
Sounds like you had a good week but tiring perhaps time for a rest now before back to work.
