wow Bob - you had a great day - I got a lot done, but still more to go

* 2*tax returns (one up, one down - but the underpaid tax wil be collected in 2013 the overpaid tax refunded next Tuesday :-) :j:j
* premium bond letter written (only £50 - but better than a poke in the eye with a dead slug)
* complaint to PO Telecomms - grrrrr - :wall:
* some overdue legal paperwork - hurrah :A
* didn't really sort out builder but got lots of good advice so letter drafted :money:
* too late for NI reclaim, so thats pants but nothing to do about it now :mad:
* sorted out DD1 child benefit now she is sweet sixteen
* checked the bank account - even though I know where it all goes I still don't know where it all goes :eek:

Garden, cars, phones and curtain poles will have to wait until next week :o

Laptops backed up later today when everyone has stopped using them - so 7/10

Your day sounds just as good Mark:D

I am looking into my NI as well- but not sure about it.

My bank account- well i just look at that as a slippery slope- in it goes and it out it goes:rotfl::rotfl:

My garden has been done courtesy of DS- in leiu of payment of rent as he is skint. He does help out a lot,making teas and shopping and he didn't ask for it but i offered bless him he still said he would pay as soon as extra dosh comes in:D I think i have trained him right:D:rotfl:

Which reminds me, i need a new external hard drive for backing up of laptops- any good offers for cheapie deals?:D

Well today i am just busy shopping and finishing general tidy up of garden.

It is coming along nicely now- i am going to order new fence panels to replace old ones. I have made a couple, but quite frankly it works out slightly cheaper to order the ready made ones and less hassle- so that is another job today pricing up.

Cement and sand has been ordered so we are moving forwards on a lot of things, hopefully by the end of the week i will have broken the back of all the little jobs and just be onto the main ones. The house feels lighter already, so it must be working.

Beautiful day out there so i am looking forward to being out and about. Enjoy your day folks.

Yesterday very productive, but very hot! Washing got dried, garden had as much done as we could in the heat It feels great to achieve something- Mr.B did a lot as it was his day off yesterday ( i think he quite surprised himself) and DS also did. Between us we ended up doing a lot.

So jobs for today- well i am in two minds as to whether to go to a bank review this afternoon- they just try and flog products!
A few more tidying jobs to finish and that will be about it-washing as per and then i am going to start on the windows as in sanding down and re varnishing- may leave that one for the weekend though as the heat is building up again.

Or to go for a walk

So back to grindstone-have a good day out there.

Heat ... grindstone .... I wish that was my post! Not that I *want* a grindstone, but it would be nice to have that feeling of accomplishment. Okay, possibly I'd better get off mse!

Heat? Send some our way if it's too much for you!
