The Matrix - Re-Evolution!!

Memory_Girl

Positives flowing this morning - go for it Helen - but I love the suggestion of writing now. Its like the build up to a new baby - so exciting.

Marru hon it sounds like a plan, have you checked with legal bods that numpty can't step in at the last minute and scupper your dreams? There's only an hour or so's time difference so you will still have all the Aunties with you anyway.

Big Frog for he day is to fit the last bag of insulation and then drill and countersink all the noggins ready for assembly.

Then into the attic to get the "milk chocolate" wool to start DS2's cute cardi.

BM on and SC filled with dinner already (it will get put on at lunchtime so its in the fridge until then).

Need to go and buy eggs - so I will take a pound in my pocket and that way I won't be tempted to spend like I did yesterday.

Coffee time .................

I'm thinking all those things (except maybe candles- use too much beeswax for the return).
The plan is to start a blog, sort of follow the idiot whilst she attempts to restore/conserve this neglected SSSI whilst learning about wildflowers, wetlands and the art of hedgelaying. [/URL]

sounds amazing Helen. am quite jealous

your blog would do sooooooooo well.

I won a book about Julie and Julia, and Julie wrote a blog about cooking recipes from the French cookbook and she was amazed that so many people were following it and from all over the world.

Yours would definitely be one interesting blog

Also it is surrounded by neglected hedges and trees including hazel, blackthorn, elder and blackberries which I am allowed, in fact encouraged to restore which will mean free firewood provided I get myself a woodburning stove.

Walking sticks. Staffs. For big chunky bits, sell to a woodturner to become asymmetric, artisan type bowls.... if you find any other bits of woodland at these prices, pm me!

Helen, this all sounds very exciting. Get on with blog - would you consider taking this to the other side? My feeling is that we all can contribute ideas to help you get off the ground but this is not the place.

Just dropping in to find you've all be productive and Helen's news is very exciting! The conference is nearly over - I have my last workshop in half an hour and then we're on holiday for two days

TADAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

6 days prior to it being 2 years since "71p and three nappies" and

Today I received my Debit card from the Big Horse Bank after I got hold of a senior peep and pointed out that as I had been paying for a current account for 2 years and it was frozen I would either

1. Like it unfrozen and have the ability to use it again (my preferred option)
2. Would like the fees refunded.

So today the card arrived and I scuttled around to the bank to withdraw a tenner to check all restrictions on the account had been lifted.

So I now have an offset mortgage account to which I have access to funds in an emergency.

Time to shuffle around some pennies and start hammering the mortgage.

Little successes - but they make me happy, happy, happy

ETA and the other envelope was my Tescos vouchers £2.50 worth which show you how little I use the big supermarkets LOL. Still I can buy some yeast for the store cupboard

Morning all

Helen - it is fab news about your patch of land, remember you can use sloes (fruit of the blackthorn) to make gin and vodka. A blog is a good idea indeed and should be started now.

Marru - not wanting to see you leave, it would be great if you could get a permit to take your daughter out of the country and back home to Finland.

I was really restless last night and didnt go to bed until 00.30 and then lay awake for hours. My head is full of stuff - thinking about this hospitality course that I am going on which will get me jobs in hotels, there are hotels being built in Birmingham because we have a bed shortage (short by 500 beds) and we have olympic teams plus hangers on in Birmingham next year so the hotels will be recruiting extra staff:D

Before I went to bed last night, I had another look in another old purse and found tucked in the bottom underneath some receipts another £5 note:j I have decided to put this into my credit union account. I also found 10 baht and 2 euros, I am keeping the baht as a souvenier of my trip there in 2003 (horrid place which I couldn't wait to leave). My creditors are still being paid what I can afford too so those bills are reducing:)

Best crack on - I have minutes to type up and circulate from a meeting I attended 2 weeks' ago (I had forgotten about the minutes:()

Aesop

MG, can you pass me some of your energy please.

Not sure that I have much left today - I have been tricking my body by getting up and diving in to do stuff - but when I stop, Oh Boy!!!

Just a thought - but now that Helen is the proud owner of a teeny estate - should we not be referring to her as "Lady Helen"??
