    Right my flow was somewhat stilted around 11, plumber phoned and said he could come and fix the world's most annoying dripping tap ever.
    However charity shop has loads of books from me and some clothes of DS2's that I had packed up for what reason ? Ah yes because we moved house...six years ago !
    Is all progress.

    Glad it's not just me - we moved 3 1/2 years ago and I still haven't put the pictures up in the living room. They are still stacked against the computer desk which is where I put them the day we moved in :o. I'm sure there's 3 unpacked boxes in my bedroom and there's definitely one in DDs room.....

    Thank you polesalot, is reassuring, I have just recalled I have set of pictures tucked alongside tumble drier, they are sort of 'hidden' there. They need to be, 80's/90's style coloured frames :o

    **Fortunately** I've just joined a really good library as my 'to read' list is getting longer, thanks for the recommendations from this, and inapickles thread I am getting lots of good ideas. There are lots of books that I remember reading that I want to read again.....if only I could remember what they are called. (wheres the shruggy smiley when you want it?)

    OH SH, that's a bit of a blow.
    I must admit I was an avid library member, but slowly drifted away, I must get back to it.

    So what does Fabby Friday hold for us all ?

    I have another day off and I will put the lawnmower through it's paces later today. If it wants to comply that is. No that's not positive, it will comply.

    Going back under the stairs for more charity shop drops in the book department.

    Quidco looks like it's a £17 pay out this month, ebay up to £19 with over 5 days to go.

    Have been looking at the snowball again, not changed anything but have 17 months of extreme budgeting until loan finishes. Now in that 17 months I will of course get a better paid full time job. But now is the time to prepare.

    So first thing on list this morning find and apply for a new job, followed by a little diary inspiration, PG Tips, and hang washing out.

    OMG I have a box of pictures next to my tumble drier too - you really are me, aren't you? I am convinced!
