When life sends you Lemons, just bake a cake

Lemon_Tree

me too!!!! i keep hoping someone will just walk by, knock on the door and offer to buy for cash, obviously this hope was hoped whilst i had my short stay in cloud cookcoo land

Lemon_Tree

well we're officially on the market! we've done all we can do now, it's down to somebody liking the look of it and the estate agents selling it well.

Payday today for Mr LT and myself - yay! It's been a long time coming! going to have some fun tonight playing with numbers and also we're thinking of trying to book a long weekend away together, keep your fingers crossed that there's still some spaces.

I'm looking forward to the long weekend, unfortunately Mr LT is working Sat through to Monday but has Tuesday off so i've book that day as well so we at least get one day together.

I'll do my money updates later

hope all is well for everyone out there

Morning LT

Congratulations. That is some amount of money and such persistence too. Well done and you will get your wee dog too!!!

The_Dragon

Yay to sausage dog potential and :beer: on the debts cleared! Not long to go now

Lemon_Tree

thank ladies, at least on here i know that people 'get' why certain things excite me

todays update:
washing done on cheap leccy, another load done and they're both outside, just hoping the grey clouds don't release any water.
dish washer has been run, i need to empty it then run the cleaner thing through it.
think i'm going to bake the yogurt cake that's on Pippi's diary, and roast a chicken that we got yellow stickered last night.

update it's just bucketted down so all the washing's now in my hallway. My only hope is if someone does want to come around then we'll have enough time to remove the evidence of drying clothes indoors.

also got to find a way to get rid of the flies, they are my arch nemisis, i hate them so much but there seem to be so many indoors, the trouble is i can't bear to have doors and windows closed at this time of year.

Urk to flies! and yes I hope you have everything dry and away before potential buyers come around!
