    Morning all!
    Rotten rain here, and piles of washing to work through! Having a major CBA day, this coughy coldy thing is taking forever to go and I feel rotten today, but need to give myself a shake as the living room and kitchen look like a tip! If it dries up a bit I may head into town for a look at some holiday t shirts and stuff for OH and DS- oh, DS has an interview in 2 weeks for a college course, he wants to be a mechanic, but hard to get an apprenticeship, so everything crossed that interview goes well!
    Off to get dressed and tackle the midden that is my house! Have a good day!
    RIP Iain

    Good Morning All

    Absolutely stunning day here today :j

    Been out this morning with OH to drop his truck off at garage. Ran some errands on the way back & OH treated us to breakfast at our local Toby Carvery - they have a special offer at the moment - 2 buffet breakfasts for £5.

    Unfortunately I am in the office for the rest of the day but I will have regular breaks in the garden. OH is working out there today, I daren't, not until my back is fully healed.

    Got to go out this evening and move trucks around with OH so no cooking for me :j will be Taco Bell for us all.

    Thats it for me, have a good one.x

    Won't be long now before that other curtain will be open :T

    Don't think I am going to get finished today, which is a shame but I have done so much and I am proud of myself. Will probably need another day to finish.

    Ihave found that much Lego, it's unbelievable. When I started this there was a covering on the bottom of a 30ltr box, it is now half full.

    Feeling very pleased with myself, have sorted out, or am awaiting replies about 3 pieces of paperwork that I've been putting off! Some paperwork just seems to loom over me and I hate hate hate doing it! Have also been checking bank statements and it seems as though child benefit has stopped for ds, so have contacted them and they are investigating what has happened, as he should still be eligible, so yippee, I might even be better off! Kitchen is sorted and washing is whizzing around in the machine! Have also had a check on the tax changes and stuff and doesn't look like I'll be any worse off, guess when you don't have a lot there isn't much more for the gov to take lol!

    Now to sort through the pile of assorted paperwork that I need to file and dig out all the vouchers I've put there! Money saving is fab, but being given freebies is even better!
