    Getting over another spell in hospital - all OK just a little flat and trying to find some energy levels. Phase 1 of House Project now complete so am researching/planning Phase 2. Going back to work on Thursday but have a week off next week so that will make return a little easier.

    Have paid off another 2.25% off The Debt and of course have saved on diesel bill since been off.

    Along with Phase 2 of House Project will come Phase 2 of declutter........I have a goal for it to be completed by end of August - its a serious clear out and reorganisation and a general change in direction, I hope, regarding stuff/possessions:)
    Be the change you want to see -with apologies to Gandhi :o

    Think I have a handle on where to start now............everywhere!! ;)

    No I will be a little bit more systematic/realistic. Best place to start is with a list which will comprise of 'must dos' and 'should dos' and finally 'want to dos' :)

    Also opportunity to apply for a bit more responsibility at work which comes with a few more pennies ( taxed to within an inch of its life though:( but at least its a bit more!) Only 2 of us can apply for it and unfortunately the other person has 'golden balls' shall we say.........really annoying but so obvious to everybody except the Idiot in Charge. So I am going to put case to together over the next week whilst I'm off........already started doing some reading:eek:

    Phase 2 of House Project now out of research stage and into planning although there is more than 1 possibility so things whirling around head at moment..........need to do some serious kondoing to get some headspace I think :rotfl:

    Hello :hello:

    Thanks for popping by and telling me the shocking news..;)

    A list is always a good place to start and then prioritise or traffic light within it.... House projects sound very exciting. Best of luck with the work role...I really really hope they see sense and give the extra points to you

    Enjoy the weekend and hopefully some decent weather

    Not sick exactly but needs retiring. Had it from new. Almost 8 years old now - OH taking it on as he does 24 miles commuting miles a week and we will SORN his car for now. I do 500 commuting miles a week so need something that is reliable and not a money earner for a mechanic, keeping it on the road:D So I will be picking up my brand new ALL electric car tomorrow and it will cost me about £10 a week to 'fill up' rather than the £50 the old faithful one did:eek:

    The purchase was always on the cards this year but we thought September/ October but we had an offer we couldnt refuse so went ahead:o

    Shaved another 0.75% of The Debt:rotfl: small steps and all that.

    Paid £40 in 20ps over counter in bank who tut at small change, onto CC debt:D I was amazed how quickly my 20p money box filled up...........its because I am using cash more.: taking the weekly £70 a week food money out and sticking to it but religiously putting all the coins I choose to save in their various pots, every time I get home...........still feels a long way to go though:o
