Hi brizzled :wave: and thanks for stopping by Target 1 in some ways is a really annoying target :mad: in that it is not interest free and i paid it off in full last year and have had to use it again to get a new boiler and radiators Sometimes life does just get in the way of debt clearing and the heating was broken for a very long time until it got to the point of being unbearable and having to be replaced - and obviously something like this isn't cheap But then again i am a little relieved that i had access to these funds otherwise the job couldn't have been done. Still at least i'm toasty now

There are soo many jobs that need doing on this house and they are essential rather than desirable changes - such as the guttering has failed and needs replacing all round the house but i have no money for this just now I guess i am pleased the heating has been done though as it was a major job that needed doing and so thats crossed off the list and doesn't feel like its hanging over me :cool:

Today however i feel rotten _pale_ I have a really painful sore throat and i was up most of the night with a very upset stomach so i'm also tired and my body aches (due to upset tummy ) Just going to have a minute and then tackle The Freezer of Doom!

Freezer audit has been done - much better than the last time i did it - i now not only know whats in there but i also know where it is This confirms we have enough meals in to see us to the end of March without too much needed for the freezer (do buy some individual meals for OH) So this should hopefully help me to stay on target with the food budget

Got quite a bit to get on with but its mainly stuff i can only start later hmm...

Hope you feel a bit better soon DDFW, I bet the new heating is lovely not having to battle every time you want a shower or do the dishes.

Aw thanks for understanding hon The ease of access to hot water is definitely where i've felt the biggest benefit - I don't know why i'm feeling so bleurgh - i think if i went back 4weeks my post would be similar - upset tummy has settled today but throat - which started hurting satday i think? is no better

Ok, so i've just typed and printed a letter that i had to do - so thats good as its a job that been being carried over to the next days To-Do list every time These things just hang over me so it is good to get them out of the way

And i do have a complaint letter to do so might just get around to that as well whilst the printer is switched on :cool:
