    Morning all, hope you all had a good weekend :)

    Feeling unusually awake here - shame I have to waste the energy at work! Had a good 8 mile run on Saturday and lots of digging in the garden yesterday so completely wore myself out and had a couple of really good nights' sleep :D

    Morning all

    Was nice and sunny earlier but seems to have clouded over a bit. Busy day for me, have dropped B at school, atwork now, then need to go to tesco, pop to town to post office and do a mystery shop before picking B up from school...phew!

    Bookie have they sorted out your mortgage protection money yet?

    Still waiting to go out - it's chucking it down.

    Persuaded DH to do some write ups for some old broken laptops that he's got stashed away so that I can get them listed on ebay - they both seem to sell at around £20/40 as faulty so that's money I'd rather have in the bank than sitting under the bed.

    Squizz - What you planting this year? My garden is sooooo tiny so I can't do as much as I'd like - will be doing runner beans again as they did well last year...more tomatoes too as they were lush...oh and courgettes as they were amazing last year....got my strawberries in hanging baskets and a herb bed that my cats love to lay in.

  • I'm getting £250 a month Sally. Interest is just under £400. JSA dock me £18 a week because of the £250 'income' and I have to continue paying £20 a month for the policy.
