Karmacat: To Infinity And Beyond!

Kittikins

The computer shop is on the spur opposite Wilko's (hairdressers on one side and closed down kitchen door shop the other). It's quite a recently opened shop and if I weren't having my half dead laptop rebuilt by a kind MSEr's partner at the moment I'd have gone in there myself to look for a new one. I hate the computer chain as they just try and sell you whatever they're getting a special commission on and ignore your needs/ignorance etc! John Lewis or independent for me!

kc it sounds like you have settled in very well and having fun ... i like the ideas of ducks on bricks .... i dont pass those text messages on ... i get them often and racisist ones (what makes some people think it is acceptable to send those jokes) and just delete them ...

Hope you got on OK today - lots of lovely vibes here - ace on the dishwasher front

Very sunny day here - been out for a walk along the coast - then into town for a peedie bag of very unhealthy but lovely chips - walked around listening to the blues festival - whilst munching chips - popped into the co-op for ice-lolly and reduced box of bonio's (we know how to live on a saturday night!) and home to find another chicken egg randomly left under a tree? - am now collapsed on sofa laptop keeping me there!

sun going down in the sky here - well making the sky lovely colours.

*bliss*

Sounds gorgeous fay :j :j :rotfl: to random chicken egg! :T

I've just about managed to get my chapter into a state where I can leave it now :T Got to hand this one and the next one in together, so I'm leaving this one now, and tomorrow will start the next one, then come back and go through them both together. :T

However, just going to wrap up (not much sign of sunshine here!) and toddle off for a walk in the woods :T :T All very jolly. Then an evening of decorating, sewing, and sorting - my Saturday evening sounds about as rock and roll as yours! :rotfl: (Mr Daffs and mate both out with Ukewind (strange ukelele-based Hawkwind tribute band they're in :rotfl:)

Sorry KC, got all confused and thought I was waffling on on Fay's diary there, so you've probably got no idea what I'm on about! :rotfl: Do apologise :rotfl:

Hope you've had a good day and got all the stuff done you wanted to! (and that there isn't *too* much tidying waiting for you!) xx

Morning folks! I really wanted to come on here last night, but it was a toss up between that and cleaning a kitchen wall ready to paint today, then having a bath - I didn't have the energy to do both. So I chose the kitchen wall, which also meant cleaning the bathroom tiles where the grotty old shower rail was ready to put up my spiffy new one :jand putting up the three new lampshades I bought at Wilkinsons - total cost for 3 lampshades, shower rail, metal curtain pole and 4 ordinary bulbs to use with a dimmer switch, £37.49, which I think is really good value - thanks for reminding me, Kittikins!

The lampshades are dead basic, of course, and I'll probably replace the one in the living room eventually, but I just need background stuff right now to make it decent.

I couldn't manage to buy a laptop as well with having bought half of Wilkos, so I don't have that yet :rotfl: but I learnt more about whats on offer these days, so that was good.

The eco house was fantastic too - gorgeous modern wood stove with the area on the floor in front made of fireproof glass :cool: those six foot wide full length glass shutters across one wall, a freestanding bath with headrests at both ends, energy monitor, woodstore on the north side of the house, chickens in the garden. His delivery of wood was hanging from a big branch, and when I asked why, he said it got really wet and that was the simplest way he could think of to dry it out before it went to the wood store. Simples! He invited me to a public meeting next month in a local village, and I'll certainly attend.

Cheery - I *like* people talking about their own stuff on here!

Love the random egg, too

Right, got to sort out today, having trotted through the diaries ....

- another cup of tea
- paint the kitchen wall - I'm going to do just the broad brushstrokes in the centre right now.
- ring my business partner, as long as its after 11am - he sleeps in like a teenager, that one :rotfl:
- go to Sainsbo.
- do MG blog exercise.
- paint the fiddly bits of the kitchen wall with a little tiny brush.
- possibly the big bit in the middle can be painted again by now? If I'm not bored out of my skull - I get that way
- tidy paperwork - a literal tidy, and thinking about things.


THINKS: I'm going to check how much I've got in reserve, and think about not actually getting a mortgage again at all. Especially if I'm actually paying attention to Mr Big and whats possible for my income. Why pay all those fees if I'm going to quadruple my income in the next year? Plus, unless something catastrophic happens, whatever little bits of mse work I do (like, I have to go into town tomorrow, so I've booked in to do a mystery shop) are going to go in a separate, currently empty account - and thats the re-start of my pension savings, I have to start working about that again.
