    Morning

    waiting on my washing machine to finish so I can hang it up then we need to go to iceland as I need bread, milk and butter.  

    Pinched nerve is easing a bit gym were great and accommodated my injury thank goodness as I don't want to stop.  It's actually sore when I sit down when I'm up and about its just achy.

    So after my walk to iceland I need to go to my grans as I have a estate agent coming round to get a home report for the house before I put it up for sale.  Need to sort out the linen cupboard as I am donating all the bed linen to a church who help the homeless and I have a lady coming round for all the towels as her child has special needs and loves baths and can have up to 5 a day and she can't keep up with the drying so I said I'm happy for her to have them.

    As you can see my savings are over £6k which I'm delighted with.  So far I have the following booked

    Full House Rewire      5th July      £3400
    Full replastering of the spare bedroom and living room £750
    Restoring and painting my cash iron pipes outside £600

    So £4750 so far is required no doubt the electricians will be more as I have a couple of extra things I would like done whilst they are here.  I want kitchen lights under my kitchen cupboards. And we are getting LED lighting all round both the rooms ceilings, me and hubby will install the coving.  Well no doubt I will haha

    I'm going to continue to save as I will need a new carpet for the living room and I thinking of upgrading my radiators in the living room whilst all this work is being done as well thankfully we have a plumber friend so we will get him to measure up the size of radiators we need and get that done as well.  Might as well.  Plus I'll need to pay a decorator to put up my wallpaper as I am not having him touch it as it's too expensive.......hope he won't be offended lol xx

    Oh and we are thinking of booking Florida for next year as it's our oldest son's 16th and he wants to go to Florida so just waiting on a couple of company's getting back to me with some prices and we will take it from there.....gives us plenty of time to get it paid off

    So busy as always, keeps you out of mischief though 😆 Have you had the rendering done now? What a fabulous trip for your son’s 16th. Surely things will be back to normal for travelling by next year.

    Rerendering is getting done at the same time in July so it will be madness here for a few days xx
