Indeed, what she said.

Very happy for you, Moo, but also insanely jealous. :T:beer::j
Just want to add that your amazing energy and can-do attitude is inspiring. After all your hard work, you deserve so much to be debt free and mortgage free. Enjoy your new life of abundance.

Wasn't sneaking off. Was splurging frivulously. Went to la supermarche with the OH and blew £66 on a weeks groceries and even bought a giant packet of completely unnecessary bacon crisps. Boy, do I know how to live.

Took the hairball for her annual prod and pole at the vets. She behaved like an entrant atCrufts. SHe sat in the car waiting for the boot to open instead of impersonating an envelope and attempting to slither out the instant there was a tiny gap. Then she sat at each and every pavement edge without being told. After that she sat att he door whilst I opened and closed it. Sat in the waiting room ignored all the other dogs and didn't bark once. Went into the surgery when called at heel with a slack lead. Sat whilst she was prodded. Lifted her paws when asked. Ignored the fingers poking round her teeth. Stood still on the scales on her first attempt, all 60kg of her, and didn't flinch when she was skewered in the back of the neck. I was suitably impressed.

We then turned to leave the room at which point she sat at heel waiting for the door to be opened. The vet told her she was a good girl to which she responded with a woof and followed through with a swift swipe of the nose to his nuts which left him bent double and in the perfect position for a face full of slobber.

Exitied rather rapidly to the waiting room where she proceeded to rearrange the funiture in hot pursuit of a loose chihuahua. Its surprising just how fast a dog that size can go in a 12' square room with half a dozen chairs, a desk and a set of display shelves in the way whist tethered to a lead.

Made it to the car before the giggles too over and spent a further five minutes sitting in the boot wiaitng for her to give up and get in. She was most adament we were going for a walk and I was most determined not to. Wish I'd had a book with me because theres no negotiating with 10 stone of petulant pooch. If it doesn't want to get in the boot then theres not a lot else to do but wait.

Came home to find OH had back filled Sundays trench and moved the landie chassis away from the washing line. We're now a third of the way down the garden with the cable with the most challenging bit still to come. We still need to trench through the chicken pen which means dong it at dawn or dusk otherwise I'll have hens in the ditch, hens balanced on the edge of the ditch and hens clawing through the mud mountain in search of unearthed worms and insects. That should keep me out of mischief for a bit.

Furture plans.... hmmm... I briefly considered a trip to the west end to see Wicked but the weekends OH has off are already jam packed with other stuff until almost Christmas....

Then I considered a cleaner. Briefly. But the idea of forking out £25 a week every week having cleaned the house so that its in a suitable state for a cleaner to clean makes this preposterous as well as adding up to something in the region of a grand and a quarter a year. So I'm currently daydreaming.

I'd like to have money in a savings account to cover all manner of unforseen occurances. If I could save £5K a year I'd be happy. 10K would make me ecstatic. Whether either is realistic is another matter. The DDs would like a horse. Apparently they'd be content to share one. Rather glad about that because there's no way they'd be getting one each. Suggested we compromise and get an alpacca (and a few friends to keep it company) but it seems thats not the same.

For the mo. I'm going to settle for getting through to the end of the month without any rash purchases...... although we're unlikely to make it to the end of the week as the OH has a day off to go to a model engineering show. I know he'll come back with several somethings because hes already debating taking a small trolley to wheel his purchases around in.

I'm holding off on my splurges until August when I'm going to a charity woolly wonder with the intention of having a go on a spinning wheel and splurging on the many amazing yarns that will be on offer. Means I have 3 months to come up with a short list of patterns and to save up a guilt free splurgable amount.

Then theres the small matter of pony camp for two and a school residential trip for DD21 which will make very light work of £500 or so.
