TallGirl's 5 year plan to own a 2nd home in her homeland

TallGirl

Thomas has finally decided that his posh bed is ok to sleep in now.

Off to the gym for pump second day in a row I have been. Feeling good.

Another day looms working from home really must hit the phones and get some appointments or I shall be so bored. Got a MS for tomorrow on my way to an appointment (pet one again) and then we are going out for a meal for my friends 50th birthday. Should be nice.

Saw Martin email about free energy monitors for EON customers and found it on their website as it them I switches too. Look forward to getting it but could take 90 days. Maybe DH will agree to switch off and use less he is so bad. Checked I am paying £44 and £112 in DD's which is a bit confusing hopefully the £112 is for both bills but will have to wait and see.

Not long til payday now not sure I can put anything towards savings this month but hopefully next month. Got paid for a few MS and have some expenses coming in but not that much. Really should get on with Ebay got the left handed club to sell for certain plus other things I am sure.

Been to the gym twice this week and not a drink either hopefully will be good today and then will have a glass tomorrow but have to drive so wont be too bad.

So glad its the weekend got past midnight before I got to bed and DH woke me up at 4.30 that is just so cruel. Quick MS tonight, then hopefully sort the garden and lawn out Saturday would like to get a bit of winter colour in. Sunday and Monday golf and that is that weekend.

Home insurance is due for renewal that more money to hit the poor old joint account. Never mind gives me something to do doesn't it. Take care all and have a lovely long weekend.:j:j:j

Just a bit of a to do list and what I have done so far for this weekend:

1. sort coffee table out and retreat - done
2. mow lawn - done
3. tidy garage to allow for fridge delivery - done
4. write up MS report- done
5. stain garden furniture (bought the stain)
6. pick beans (done)
7. wash bedding and make bed (done)
8. wash more bedding
9. tidy on top of fridge as new one arrives Tues
10. buy pansies and replant in pots (bought and nearly done)

I think that is enough should also re-list my left handed club in Ebay but cannot be asked. Will go and make some lunch now went out for breakfast at Weatherspoon £7.54 for two you really cannot beat that. Not that good for the diet but means I wont have much supper.

As well as that list I have sorted the dining room table out (well nearly done just dying now before final coat of soap. Got some spikes for my golf shoes which I have been meaning to get for ages, and got my driver regripped also needed to be done.

We also went through DH wardrope he never throws anything away and I got him to get rid of 4 big bags. Some for the bin and some which is nice enough for the charity shop. Just have to take it down to the recycle place at some point. Nice and sunny here been outside as well as inside sorting things out.

Take care hope you all enjoy the long weekend.

Playing golf tomorrow but should have time to do a bit more gardening

It sounds like you have been really busy this weekend. All I feel I have done is go to work and come home and then go to work again. Think I am feeling a bit sorry for myself having had 2 weeks off.

Played some really good golf this wekeend it was a team thing and we won 1st prize, £23 not bad for a £2.5 entry fee. Really had a good they up there.

Right off to the that last load of washing and see if DH will sort fridge out. Thinking of taking tomorrow as leave as I have 2 MS jobs needs to go and buy a present plus wait in for the fridge. If I did take the day off I could do two more MS jobs at 2 x £8 ok a lot less than I earn but feel like it.

So here we are Monday morning and I really want the day off thinking of taking a sickie which is so naughty and something I never ever do.

Got to wait in for the fridge freezer and have 2 MS jobs as well. Hope they deliver early but they are both local MS so could go out as they call before they deliver.

Made 1 small jar of pesto last night and got the rest of the washing done so that was pretty much my whole list quite pleased with that.

Off to check the banking now to see if my salery has gone into my new Santander account. Fingers crossed.

It had gone into the right account so an account swapped that started on the 11th June is now complete on the 31st August. Well done Santander no wonder you are voted worst for Customer Service but your rates are good so sticking with it for now.
