Better thanks. Wasn't what we all thought it might be!!! As far as it goes, the nausea was un-explained!

DH has finished the wall - yay!!! all he's got to do now is the gate and we haven't decided what sort we are going to have. I have told him to add up all he has spent on doing the front and I will transfer the money from our joint account (as there is enough in there now). Won't be too much probably about £150 - which isn't bad really.
Looking forward to putting some pots out there.
Going to do some more to it in the Spring - slab path and some gravel. But DHs priority has got to be to get back to work on his Dad's memorial in MILs garden so that's all sorted before any bad weather sets in.
Did a bit up the allotment on Friday, Saturday and Sunday - so extra done. Goal for this week is either tonight or tomorrow, Thursday and Saturday - but we will see how we go...Its not my back that's aching, it's my thumbs!!!!!
DH's deposit will have gone into the Joint Account by now - so £50 to add to the House Fund. (Saw a house at the weekend, but is still a bit out of our price range - plus, we have other priorities at the moment - just hope another one comes up for sale in that area as those houses seem to be exactly what I want).
There is also a £co payment of £5 due to come to me next payment run!
Shopping at Mr T and Herr A came to about £89ish. Got another £5 off £40 shop at Mr T which will come in useful when I stock up on wine on my next shop.
Lunches today are Ham Sandwiches. Tonight's tea is Salmon with Cream & Dill Sauce.
Hope everyone had a great weekend.
Off to update Signature.

Forgot to mention that DH had an accident in his car - he will be blamed as he was 'back of the queue'; but he had actually stopped and then his ABS kicked in and shoved him into the car infront!!!
Anyhoo, the company are coming to take his car away for inspection today - he is actually disappointed as he's pretty sure it won't be written off (it would be doing him a favour if it was). £300 excess...he's insisting on paying it, but I'm going to suggest the joint account pays at least half - wish me luck getting that one past him!
Been on to the energy people today to see about a fix till September 2014 - but need my metre readings from home. Will save a few ££s, but I am more concerned about the tariffs going up - how do you guys feel about this - do you thing the big 6 will put their prices up again?
It was a very nice bloke I spoke to and he gave me some information on what I can do to fix Mum's tariff too - need to look at this soon for her as we really don't want the same sort of bills this winter for her.
Going up the allotment for an hour tonight - who needs the gym!
Had to modify last night's tea as DH wasn't feeling very well - so we had Salmon with a Chinese BBQ Sauce Glaze with noodles instead of the creamy sauce.
Tonight we are going to have Spag Bol.
Got a few more £ coins for savings stamps so will be buying again at the weekend.
MWC has shamed me into wanting to declutter my dining room - Saturday Job! (Provided DH puts all his tools away first!)

PS We are finishing the lottery syndicate at work - so I will be £6 a month better off - might still have the odd go, but I don't think I will be putting it on weekly.Mortgage Free x 1 03.11.2012 - House rented out Feb 2016

Hi ag. I am glad I am not the only one that suffers from toolitus. DH has a cupboard in the dining room where he keeps some tools. But since he's been doing the wall they have been in the front room too.Mortgage Free x 1 03.11.2012 - House rented out Feb 2016

80p spent in Mr T last night on some bread rolls for lunch today.
I have a cheque for £189.99 to pay in the bank for the mower I purchased on behalf of the Charity - think I'm going to do this tomorrow - can't be bothered today.
Still need to talk to DH about his excess...
Have another £ coin for Mr T savings stamps - want to get up to date with that by the end of the month if I can.
Breakdown Cover on the CC is paid out of the way and for now I am going to transfer the money back from my other current account from my inheritance to cover DHs half - he's got enough on his plate right now without me asking him for more money.
Couple of hours done up the allotment last night, so resting today and will go up tomorrow night.
Spag bol went down alright last night and DH is feeling a bit better. - though still not 100% - I wish we could find out what's causing it - the only indication we have is cheese!
Tonight we have a Lamb Chop Dinner with Runner Beans from up the allotment and any other veggies I can find snoozing in the fridge.
Happy Wednesday everyone.
