    quite happy to put yours out whilst i'm at it. I love washing out on the line, one of the things i want in my house is a garden long enough to have a proper washing line or two in, i'm stuck with a whirleygig at the moment and they're just not as nice.

    well didn't make it to the gym this morning but i did spend my time productively.
    Sorted out renewal of my car rescue cover - tick
    Rang up for redemption amount on Norbert - tick
    updated July/August bank accounts - tick
    sort out money for porch (work starts tomorrow but need OH to finalise this -

    details/ workings for Norbert:
    redemption amount £3697.12
    amount saved up £3278.64
    shortfall £418.48
    next months payment £322.91
    ultimate shortfall £95.57
    now just need to figure out where to take this from as i WILL be paying off Norbert by the end of this week!

    the only potential problem is i'm not quite sure where we're going to find all of the porch money without dipping into my savings for Norbert.

    well best get sorted won't be long before i need to head off to my appointment, hope everyone is well
