  • Hi all. I've been busy with uni work today. Weather here was lovely and sunny, quite spring like. When my OH retired he got a part-time job with an estate agent showing people around houses. It keeps him busy and the money is handy too!

    Thanks for that Aggie,

    I don't know why I didn't think of that, I used to work for an Estate Agent for 10 years, and we had a couple of retired gents who did that. What are you studying at uni?

    Good morning everyone.

    Hope you are all well. I'm a happy bunny this morning 'cos its F R I D A Y ...:T:T:T.. and I have got the weekend to look forward to.

    Work today and just the usual things like shopping, although I am calling at our local market after work for some fruit and vegetables. They can be quite a lot cheaper.

    Just checked the bank account again this morning, and all is looking okay.:cool:

    Have a good day, and be back later.

    Nothing on this morning but decent priced job booked for 1pm so playing around on here.

    Hoorah......its Friday, and the weekend starts here. :T

    It's true what they say, that time flies by when you get older..... I can't believe its the weekend already. Just called in M & S and treated us to a M & S dine in for 4 meal. That will do nicely for Sunday, Roast Beef, Roast Potates, New York Cheesecake and a bottle of wine £15......but I only paid £5, cos hubby had a £10 gift card given at work, so we shall enjoy it even more.! I know they are a bit pricey, but it should have cost £24.96 for all that. We won't drink the wine, so that will go away for christmas, either as a gift for someone, or to drink ourselves.:D

    Not doing any housework today, will have a quick tidy up tomorrow. Just going to chill.!!:cool:

    PDD, you posted on someones thread, and I can't remember whose, but you mentioned that you have opened a building society account with a Welsh B.S. Who were they.....you also said it allows you to have little pots......how does that work then, ...I want to open another account to save for bills etc:A

    Hang on to the spare cash, we put it away and it was a nice little buffer just in case we had a emergency.;)

    What kind of work do you do thewad, and are you self employed.?
