    Afternoon

    Well i became a builder Labourer today lol, But didn't mind helping out, cause the bathroom is coming on in leaps and bounds :)

    feeling rather yuk now and my head is itching like made from cleaning the grout off the tiles in the shower.

    The shower base has had a silicone seal around it and hopefully that will have stopped the leak

    When I say left early I mean significantly after completing my working week hours, but early (just) for rush hour, so roads OK.

    That's a good thing katsu, when me and Pint go to my mum's, since we hit the M25, we try and make it before rush hour.....Pint wasn't last time and he got stuck in a 8 mile tailback before Dartford Bridge?

    Officially dead on my feet....I can barely move but have managed to dig about 1/3, rotorvate the remaining, plant potatoes, onions and construct 4 raised beds.

    You would have killed yourself seeing me with the rotorvator, it took 2 men to put it into the car (flipping massive thing) and then I had to get the thing out, start it up and push the dam thing. My arms have been ripped out of their sockets and tomorrow I wont be able to move.

    Anyway I am showered, clean sheets on the bed and Tea in the oven...wine and not much else tonight. Finally getting somewhere with the allotment, just need to keep on top of it. Oh and its been so hot today, we are all sunburnt !!!!!!, winter into summer overnight!
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
    Finally Debt Free...

    I've always been like it, even as a kid. Part of me can't ever quite believe I've been invited out of more than politeness...

    Cider, cheese and biscuits and book alone is much more fun than beer and teppanyaki with about 20 people right

    I'm like that too Luc-always think they've only invited me out of sympathy. I didn't have a hen night because I couldn't see why anyone would want to go to a party for me..same with my 40th that DH insisted I have..I had stage fright for weeks before thinking "no-one will come,why would they want to?"
    Debt-free...and staying that way...

    I'm staying in tonight - have been invited to 2 different night outs but have declined both of them! lots of reasons - firstly I know i would feel a little uncomfortable as I am thier boss - don't want to cramp thier style - secondly I have budgeted within an inch of my life this month and really can't afford it - It won't be cheap - meal and drinks but I know I would feel obliged to buy people drinks and taxi too! Secondly kids just back from thier dad's so would feel bad going out and leaving them! and thirdly my DD1 and DD2 are both out so I would have to ask OH to babysit and we are hardly speaking so don't want to do that!

    Would have been good to go out though - could have done with a laugh!

    Jack Daniels and rubbish TV for me - won't even be on here cos OH is having issues with me spending time on computer!
