    OK about turn.

    Have had a chat with everyone and although I feel flippin guilty I am staying at my old job for another few months. The team didnt want me to go :o and DansDad is having very stressed time dealing with everything without me. This means I get it in the neck when he gets home!! So am having this week off and back to it Tuesday. I've still got to tell the new job though so letter to be composed and dropped off tonight (I'm such a coward)

    On the upside I'm having such a lazy time. Still getting up in the dark for Danny and Old Horse but coming home having a snooze then seem not to be doing anything else! I did take the long suffering dog to the poodle parlour on Monday and he is now naked (and cold bless him so he's in his coat) did some token housework and de cluttered the kitchen but apart from a couple of clops did nothing yesterday or today so far....:o So much for getting the kitchen decorated.

    Am fuming with old gas supplier, just switched and they reckon I've used 350 units (?) more than I actually had. Now theres got to be some big imvesigation before I get my new bill. Its like they think I'm lying! :eek:

    Should be able to do another OP on the mortgage later this week, just waiting for the bills to go out tommorrow then I'll know what I have left. Have sold two more things on ebay netting £51 :p so that'll help.

    This'll be the last musing for the day...

    Have added £9.37 to the Willie fund making a round £400 (A**l I know)

    Have amended the mortgage to end September 2023 total each month £426 inc interest and capital and of course OP wherever I can. :D Of course when interest rates go up then I may have to look again but I can manage that for now....

    I dont feel guilty for staying, but I do feel guilty for letting the new job down - but then they can now give it to someone else.

    DansDad and I snuck into the building (never locked) on Wednesday night about 10pm under the cover of darkness with said letter. Talk about feeling like a dodgy geezer! Almost waited for the whole 'I Say! You there!!....' But we dropped it off and made shifty sideways glances :cool: at the plod on the way out of the dock.... Phew.

    I have paid £39.67 orf the mortgage tonight although that could be done twice will have to wait and see.... :o

    DansDad has just decluttered a kebab and I have decluttered a 9 inch pizza feel like I need a mortgage myself after that. Just going to get my own postcode......:whistle: Is it any wonder that I have a small version of Versuvius on my chin? :p

    I have had a NSD today. Thursday underestimated some ebay postage :mad: so cost an extra £1.38. Will need to visit a Supermarket at somepoint this weekend. Glad I didnt go yesterday my local Sainsbergs was HEAVING at 1130 when I went to B&Cooo for a new barrow wheel. I also had the farrier out yesterday pedicures all round at a cost of £49.....

    DansDad currently auditioning for Sir Alex Fergusons job on the sofa next to me.....

    Happy easter xx

    Twit!!!

    I'd transferred that £39.67 twice..... Tidied it up now so Mortgage now £54100 nearly in the £53's :D

    We had a massive clearout of the sheds at the weekend. One huge trailer load gone to the dump. How jobsworthy are they there now!!! Its like having small 'policeman' hanging over your shoulder telling you where to put stuff. :mad: But the result is that the bikes have more room and I can now use the bench in my shed to pot things again.... And I found a bin bag full of stuff for ebay so will have a play with the newly installed turbolister ready for a cheap listing day :D

    Back to old job yesterday. Like putting on an old pair of slippers....

    What a beautiful day today!!

    Have managed to pay myself something today so should be able to add more to the Willie fund and a bit more off the mortgage Monday I reckon.... :D

    DansDads bike gets picked up tonight I have to make sure he doesnt fritter this money away. I know what he's like! He has HP to pay off on it which he must do tomorrow morning. He has a £3k credit card on 0% til July and a £2k overdraft currently 17% so I suggested he pay the £500 off the HP, £500 off the credit card, £1500 off the overedraft which leaves him with £700 toward the new bike which he's got to get for work. He must be from Mars as I have no idea what he plans to do with this money, he's always been very tight lipped about it...... :o

    Heard from my friend who got me the new job which I didnt start... He's got in trouble for it which it isnt his fault at all, it was my decision and now I feel really really bad... :( He's in for a lesson on Saturday so hopefully can have a chat then.

    Spent £36 today on the cats and long suffering dog and £11 on bits from the supermarket. Danny and Old Horse can have a night out (no not on the tiles!!!) tonight as its nice, no need for them to come in which means I dont have to get up quite so early tomorrow. I'm looking forward to Sunday where I'll have my second lay in of the year so far as I'll be Old Horse free and Danny can stay out with his buddies :D

    I hope the sun stays where he is too!!!!! :p
