I enjoyed the Avengers film, but it was no where near as good as the first one. Especially as I'd watched the first one the night before on TV! It was a pleasant distraction all the same.
I really hope it doesn't take long to sort out the conservatory - apparently it's quite a common problem.
Quick Update:
- Still waiting for documentation off the solicitor.
- £156.50 added to house fund - probably my last decent deposit for a while.
- £200 left in joint current account for extra interest we expect to pay on our first mortgage payment.
- Appointment made with our Mortgage Advisor for Friday 12 June to finalise details.
- 20 years with DH today - celebrating by going through some more boxes from the loft lol (Got a nice meal planned and we will treat ourselves to a glass of vino).
Salmon with Herb & Lemon Crust on the menu tonight (Salmon from the freezer, Crust from a tub I found in the cupboard!)
