    Car still running fine thankfully! Pay saga continues and feels never ending. Someone in the dept is telling porkies as they are claiming they have been given certain information and the manager denies this.

    I need to write a complaint letter to dental practice while I am still feeling annoyed to give it more oomph! DH has received very sloppy patient care.

    Am doing well with the OP's and savings in what as been a difficult and expensive month so that is encouraging. Onwards and upwards!!

    Letter of complaint written! Sold some more items so need to get them posted tomorrow. Baby having a lovely long nap in his cot so it's easier to get things done! Managed to cross a few more things off my 'to do' list.

    Almost at payout again on Superpoints. It's such an easy money maker!

    Parcel posted and money received for items I sold the other day so transferred that to renovation savings. We really want to start making this house into the home we really want. We have lived here 7 years and not done much at all apart from redecoration and garage conversion 2 years ago. We are thinking of extending above the garage as a cheaper way of creating bigger bedrooms then perhaps a sunroom/conservatory to create the kitchen-diner we want.

    Plan for the weekend is more decluttering and giving the house a good clean - that's about as exciting as it gets!

  • I am decluttering too this weekend. How wild we are.....
    Paid off mortgage nine years early in 2013. Now picking and choosing our work to fit in with the rest of our lives!
    Still thrifty though, after all these years:D

    I really need to block Rightmove off my computer!! DH just decluttered some items and popped to town to sell them, shame the money is going straight in his pocket!

    Ninth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Rightmove addiction is a serious thing. I had it soooo badly for ages and ages before I finally bought. Even after buying a house, I kept looking on RM almost daily for a while, and it was a few months before I finally gave up. Now I have to get my fix from looking on behalf of other people like Courgette. ;)

    We moved over a year ago and I still get daily RM alerts! I love looking at houses though, it's always been a hobby :D

    There must be something in the air, I'm having a decluttering month - hope you've made good progress today.
