    ((((((((chev)))))))))) how very sad. Look after yourself xx

    <waves> hi pippi, and the rest of you lovely lot :) Glad mouse bites are going well. Remember I have time and eyes and am willing to use them... :rotfl:

    You'd be proud of me today - set the timer and repotted some of the seedlings that have been staring at me sorrowfully from the windowsill :o (actually, best not talk like that, or else I'll never be able to grow or eat anything again! :eek: :rotfl:) Anyway, didn't have time for everything, so just did the lettuce I'd rescued from the supermarket - 10 nicely largely lettuce plants now! :T :T Was Very Brave and planted 3 of them in the planter outside the back door :eek: (mainly cos I didn't have enough things to stand all the pots in on the windowsill :rotfl:)

    :D

    Note to self:

    Don't read when tired. She said MOUSE BITES, not HOUSE MITES :rotfl:

    Marru - woo hoo I got a lovely parcel today which will be very handy when I eat my boily eggs - she sent me a box of campervan egg cups - how wonderful - thank you!!!

    I am glad you got them. I saw them ages ago and thought about you :)

    KK - house mites indeed!

    Cheery well done on the seedlings - I'm hoping to use your eyes soon, I just need get things more coherent first!

    Fed up with the amount of bottles of fizzy water in this house - have waited on ebay and watched soda streams (asked on freegle first no go) and we got one yesterday - that should cut the waste down a bit!

    That all my money done though!

    £50 to Capital one card - balance on that now under 1500 (eek)
    £25 to Lloyds balance on that now under 750 (double eek)

    Od's OK - well a bit in the bank but not alot enough for dd's this month

    Need a tiny bit shopping today for Ds on study leave - but I've been mean and said - treats come from your money (!) to which he seemed to think that was not a bother and gave me his debit card - 'use that - they are treats for me'

    In shock I think

    Might speak to Mr s who's still here and see about working late again to let him come back in with DD and I'll stay at work til concert at 7pm

    Need take lunch in today been lazy about that one lately - although I've got potatoes at work and do a baked tattie

    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Gorgeous day here PIppi, and I can tell you from bitter experience that there WILL be MORE gorgeous days when you've finished - and they'll feel even MORE great for you not having it looming over your head in the background :j Chin up, head down (if that's even physically possible :rotfl:) and you'll be done soon xxxx

    Up earlier than expected, might see about repotting a few more seedlings - might be beetroot on the case this morning...

    Morning - well, things are really tough, but it sounds like combining activities - tea out, not spending petrol, doing one journey for several things - is working well. And ohmigod, yes, a soda stream for use with water! Excellent idea, and cuts down on plastic too, for the fizzy water bottles. Well done, in the middle of all this work :)
