Have grasped the nettle..........now to deal with the ensuing rash

I do love the sea Igamogam, but don't have good sea legs, I only like it from the land:rotfl: Some of our best memories are from days by the sea. Perhaps when we retire (if ever!) it will be a cottage by the sea.

Have a great week, that's a lot of extra work paperwork. Hope you get paid overtime!

£130 of sales at my local NCT NNS Also 3 things sold on Eb*y this week - all proceeds will go a) new pair of trainers for me and b) the rest to debt.....of course!!

Too sunny to be on here

Week to go to a couple of weeks off....feel I should be there already. Nothing planned except catch up with some friends. DD2 is away to foreign climes on a field trip and DD1 is working over Easter. So its just OH and me...the reality of chicks flying the nest........uuurgh:o.

Need to do a couple of big jobs over the hols which will involve getting a bit of cash in - have to do some plannning and I will have to persuade OH that cash will go towards a new-to-us second car - his head is in the sand unfortunately

Dropped off some 'clothes 4 money' and got £5.50 and find out they take books..... will have to have a good clear out some things waiting for fr**gle pick up. Treated DD2 in TeeKayMax, been to the dentist,2 loads of washing on line, made a cake,evening meal from stores and the sun is shining Feeling hopeful.............

Hello Igamogam,
I know you don't get overtime - it was tongue in cheek comment:p
If we all got paid overtime for the extra ours I don't suppose we would be in debt!:D I know lots of people in education just because the "holidays" are good to work around family.

Sales are looking great! you seem to consistently make a success of them. Keeping meaning to take a leaf out of your book....

It took me a while to get used to the empty nest, it has been lovely for the last to weeks because DD back home for Easter, and working on her dissertation at home Everything feels more normal.

Enjoy the sun, it's meant to be nice here too this weekend. Planning to spend some time pottering in the garden.

Have a lovely weekend:)

I signed up with the MSE credit club a while back - TBH I have never looked at until today when I opened up an email and had a bit of time to read through...............so now I have submitted PPI claims on 2 loans I forgotten we ever had,found I had an old MBN@ CC closed over 10 years ago that had a credit balance of £8.50 on :mad: - they have sat on that for 10 years. I know its only a piddly amount but that replicated many time over on a global scale......:mad: and I whilst I was on a roll I finally submitted a claim on the phone for PPI on a CC which I still have but the PPI dates from 1986!

Feeling virtuous and just a little bit :money::money:

:rotfl:

Meeting up with a friend later for a proper catch up over a cup of tea. NO cake as have a had a carby couple of days - always happens when I am not working - pasta/rice/noodle dishes 3 nights on the trot!! Will walk across fields and through woods to meeting place - community run tea/coffee shop - so will definitely get my 10 000 steps in and walk off those carbs

Lovely spring day here so morning spent in garden doing a bit of weeding/sorting. Dinner tonight will be from stores - have eggs bacon sausage mushrooms to use up - low carb :rotfl: so will feel back on track. happy to stay the same weight whilst I am off work but I really do not want it back on :eek: Really must look at what we have in stores re food and make a proper meal plan. Could do with saving a bit of money for the rest of the month............

Have a great break and a well deserved rest

2 beach walks completed and 2 friends caught up with. 3 out of 4 days achieved the 10 000 steps goal

A to do list as long as my arm and the energy to tackle it - go me! A very strange feeling I must admit as for more years than I care to remember I have had a great deal of intention but felt wiped out most holidays, so just spent recharging.
