Double Trouble - Nothing by halves

Hi DT! I've just been burbling on FW's thread about how I got my paperwork mountain to go down by dealing with stuff immediately. I can't always do it, of course, but even doing *some* really helps.
Love the touring of TV transmitters. Not :rotfl::eek::rotfl::eek::rotfl::eek:2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Well I have sorted the mountain and got rid of the rubbish and the filing so only have the to do stuff left which looks far manageable
The problem with dealing with it as it arrives is that its not all mine and it builds up so quickly my stuff gets submerged - I did say to OH we will never be able to live in a minimalist house which would be my dream - he suggested getting rid of the kids :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I am thinking of running transmitter tours as a tourist sideline

So how on earth do you find them in the first place? I didn't think there were that many transmitters, can vaguely remember in the days before sky etc. that unless we had a massive great aerial we got all our programmes in Welsh,but thats about it.Debts at LBM - Mortgages £128497 - non mortgage £27497 Debt now £[STRIKE]114150[/STRIKE][STRIKE]109032[/STRIKE] 64300 (mortgage) Credit cards left 0

There are dozens of them and there are websites complete with photos we visited 8 over the weekend :eek: this is definitely an anorak pastime the only consolation is that because they are on the top of mountains you get a great view from them or at least we did on Saturday very cloudy on Sunday.
Coming over your way tomorrow we have had a change of plan so whilst OH's car has its MOT in Northwich we are going to our favourite retail outlet to see if I can get a suit and maybe even splash out on lunch it will be nice to spend a day with OH we don't get the chance often
Done two car insurances today managed to save a bit on each although one has a £50 cashback that you get in 3 months time so will have to keep an eye on that one just need to do the breakdown cover tomorrow forgot that runs out this month too it really is a mad car month :mad:
Have a meeting tonight which I had forgotten about and I am really tired so I could have done without it

You're having a day out today! Lovely
hope you've found a suit.
2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Hi DT, I only fell out of posting for a week or so and I come back to a new diary lots of positive plans and suit shopping shenanigans! :j
I shall have to remember not to be so slack in future
I too loved the idea of you all trooping round looking at antenna (you are truly a devoted foster mum xx):D
Hope the shopping and the MOT go well today, your certainly getting out and about lately
Hugs and positive vibes for the claim

Well I have had a fab day today went shopping on my own first whilst OH got the MOT done which went according to plan which it should do as the car has not done 20K miles yet - then OH joined me I tried on the suits that I had picked and he agreed so I now have two
both black which sounds strange but they are very different other than the colour and I am really pleased with them and the price both cost me less than the original price for one of the jackets one was from T.M. Lewin and the other is a Windsmoor.
So now I either have to get a job or go to a lot of funerals I am hoping for the former obviously
We also had lunch out which was really special as it does not happen often
And I have decided that I do like shopping now that I know what shapes to look for it is so much easier so thanks Souk :A

Hi DT well done on the shopping - but you've not put in any links yet!!! When can we see what they're like.0

Well done on getting something you like. As I've been burbling on about, its difficult if you don't know what suits you. Your session with Souk obviously did you a lot of good.
