Botanical blunderings on a budget - good life starts here.

Aw I saw that KC - how lovely he got there in one piece! The mini

spatulas are amazing - no kitchen

should be without one, especially a pesto addicted one.

Didn't get back here yesterday - did chidren in need with a chum after a day at work in town, an hour paid (the rain wa
sn't fun, but an hour was ok).

Ok today, a work day - which the now I'm surprisingly OK about considering I hate working at the weekend.

First 'womble' day - I'm at our recylcing
site today - which I'm nervous about.


Before that I'm having a wee internet fix and then I'll get ready to go


List for before work
Hmmm, had a shower, only need tog up in warm clothes, wear free work jacket and find a suitable hat and pigtails today I think, for extra bravery

Bank to do and check CC it was wierd yesterday - couldnt' see any transactions and I have made a few pad's to it - but it was nearly at its limit

Bake something for the kids before I go - keep them out of cooking mischeif

Make a piece up for t/break -

Mr F back on the plane and coming to work so we're hopefully having a bit of lunch together if we've time.

Learn lots and don't get scared of people - pigtails will help with people bit - notepad will help with the concentration bit

Take my own recycling and rubbish to the tip, its around the corner from work and I can do that before I start at 10
Later well - see Mr F properly and will be dark but walk the dog - I'm not taking him today, but I might sometimes

Think of a fun thing/yummy thing to do and eat in the evening.


Later over weekend write a very stinky letter to the chap whos written a stinky letter ot me from the tax office telling him I haven't been in touch when I've both phoned, cried and then written a letter to him. Berstwerd of no feelings.


the now I'm having a cuppa in bed, excuse the slovenliness - and a catch up.


Passes the tea.

You'll be fine, Pippi! You've already been there in your own right, haven't you? And pigtails are a brilliant idea plus you'll have MrF popping by I'm glad he's still with you (or only just gone, not sure of his schedule ) when you write the letter to the !!!!!! .... what a !!!!!! these jobsworths can be...

Love that you call your lunch a "piece" - the only place I've ever seen that is "Sons and Lovers", I think, that autobiographical book by DH Lawrence ....

Have a great day - I'm sort of at work too, tho much less interesting - seminar and committee meeting :eek:

Aw thank you both (three now KC there) - I'm going to try and not be mean to my evil horrible ex supervisor, who rather kindly comes to site every single saturday. And, enjoy being there and being paid, I've been there a fair bit before but always voluntary. xxx

KC piece a scottish or also a northern thing - ? My grannie always gave me a jammie piece, I love that word.


OK - banks £38 left in one, £90 in the other after a pad, better than they have been OK, tight but OK, and cc's PAD to both cc's gone through - captain now 1785/2100, lucifer 790/1000 - paid another £100 to captain - asds bought something on my card for 85 and gave me the money before he did it. -

Credit Cards (with payments off) are now £2575 and reducing

CC a bit better this month due to less petrol and a voucher for Mr T for shopping from visitors - means cc's had less battering.

Ooh, first day at Wombling Headquarters as chief Womble! :T :T :T :T Pigtails are, of course, entirely necessary Pah to daft evil ex-supervisor - remember he's only there every week because he's nosy and has nowhere better to be and people are too polite to tell him to go away! ) Hope you have stripey socks too You'll be fab, and hooray that Mr F is coming back! :T :T

Can't believe dozy twonk at tax office :mad: Do you have a photocopy of your previous letter? Perhaps send him that too, in with his own letter, and list your telephone calls - they might come up on your bill if you need proof later!

Pah!

Anyway, hope you've got the glorious sunshine we've got here! :T :T :T :T :T Have lovey day, cheery early evening, and cosy night with Mr F :T :T :T xxx

Hope you had a good Wombling day today Pippi...bet you were great, pigtails and all!!!

Sounds like that eejit @ !!!!!!*** needs straightening out, and you're the womble to do it!!

Still feeling rather sore and woozy (tablets fault here) today, but a bit brighter.

Sewing machine arrived this morning :j...it is so amazing!!! Didn't have a go on it today, but read the manual. It can do soooo many things, I really can't belive it is mine!!! It is back in it's box now, ready for my birthday on Monday. DH is taking the day off, and he is dropping me off at the beginners quilting group I go to in the afternoon, while he picks up DS2 from college. I won't be driving for at least another week...not that am fit atm anyway!!

Need to go and have another lie down...can't sit at this chair for very long.

Have a great Sunday everyone, neading out for lunch with family tomorrow, looking forward to it.

Certainly Northern, My Dad would interchange 'piece' and 'snap'. He was from Lancashire.
