Yet more financial faux pas and many other disasterous decisions

Love love the coat.
I would so wear it

Thank y'all! Am undecided whether its something I'll wear but thats irrelevant at the mo as we're in the middle of a mini heatwave. Went out in public in shorts yesterday. My legs are a lovely shade of glow in the dark white in and amongst the many bruises from lugging buckets of hardcore up and down the garden. The fab news is we've run out of hardcore and I can see even more front garden, the bad news is it didn't stretch far enough and I need to arrange delivery of another ton later in the week.

Managed to do lots of laundry yesterday and even made a start washing muddy rugs. Swept the floors and thought about mopping but couldn't muster up the energy. Forgot to wash horsey stuff so thats in the machine now ready for tomorrow. Keep being outbid on jodphurs on fleabay. May well trek to Decathlon in the hopes they have some in the sale. I refuse to pay a tenner for someones old jodphurs especially when they are described as having baggy elastic and small holes at the seams. Chuck 'em out people!

Went into school for a bit. Looked at the carnage left over from Fridays disco and went to do something else. Tis v. frustrating when people hire the building in an immaculate state and leave it looking like a bomb has hit. At least it will give me something to do this afternoon before the martial art class arrives.

Further plans for the day involve much domesticated drudgery and a spot of knitting since the discovery that attempting to knit a tight rib in navy blue in the near dark whilst watching telly is nigh on impossible. Need to get that done so I can continue with DD2s jumper tonight.

Also need to work some financial magic as theres very little money left and rather a lot of expenditure in the very near future having forgotten that I need to fork out £80 in childcare this week. At least OH is keeping an eye on them the rest of the time.

Being the first day of the school holidays its rained non stop since 8:30. Have scaled Mount Ironmore, still have an enornous pile of socks to pair but toerhwise the laundry mountain is no more.

The DDs are in mega whinge mode. The cereal cupboard is down to the part packets that they insisted were purchased but have since decided they don't like. Tough. Won't be buying any more until the shelf is barren. You'd think I'd told them that I wasn't going to feed them at all this week. Eating the stuff stashed in the cupboards is working wonders on the overall budget. In fact things would be going swimmingly if I hadn't forgotten about the school holidays.

Despite all the recent spending the overall debt is now hovering at the 2-2.5K mark. Wish it would nosedive faster but I haven't exactly been focussed on it recently. Must get listing tat on fleabay before the Royal Mails price increase takes effect.

Hiya Moo

2 2.5k is not bad at all Moo. Keep plodding. That coat is superb. Absolutely gorgeous, you really are a superb knitter. Is that DD or yourself that is modelling?

You must feel great after ascending Mount Ironmore...I am afraid I have lost my climbing gear and refuse to venture there :)

I am in the process of pulling every cupboard out looking for a book I sold on amazonia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looks like a bomb has hit the place. Going to through some stuff, throw out and make a trip to the tip.

Take care moo and enjoy your break off. We are heading to England and am so in need of a break.

Have a fab break!

The model is DD1, I have considerably greyer hair and much bigger feet.

Consider yourself lucky with the rain - having hit record high temperatures here last week (23 degrees, which is good even in summer), we're due to have snow tonight :eek:

Igamogam

Arctic here too today - so much so I cant scale Mount Ironmore without crampons:rotfl: Have decamped to conservatory to declutter much tat - only to find me saying - ooh that will go on Eb*y etc etc. So not a lot leaving the premises - might put a small table on fr88gle though

Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored. Spent a tedious six hours at work creating things to do, pointless mind numbingly dull things. Will have to do the same today and tomorrow and again on Thursday. Pointless me attempting to do the stuff that needs doing as we're having flooring leveleled which generates much dust. Means the stuff that needs doing will have to wait until next week. Bah.

OHs bro is due a day earlier than exected. Means I have to do a mahoosive bog clean and degrot tomorrow morning and hope like hell that it still looks the same a day later. Fat chance of that.

COuld happily go back to bed and stay there until lunchtime with a good book, any book infact but thats not going to happen either. Have to have both DDs at the stables ridiculously early which means kicking them out of bed v. shortly and hoping that DD1 feels ok after putting herself to bed at lunchtime yesterday and sleeping for six hours.

I'm vaguely contemplating this but would need to spend considerable time zumbaing before I'd dare wear it in public.

It's lovely! I'd like one too, if I also sneak in lots of choccies and it then didn't fit you.......
