    Congratulations, really pleased Mrs PG...x:beer:
  • Brilliant news Mrs PG, well I think the thaw may have slightly started but it's going to mean nothing as we're due more snow on Friday according to the national weather. Off to Aldi for a snow shovel tonight me thinks.

    Got a surprise this morning as I left the flat as people are here to paint the stairwell, I'd had a letter from the maintenance company but completely forgot about it, had to tell them to quieten a little as the OH was still in bed, he doesn't start work until 11.30. Speaking of come Feb 4th he'll be on 1.30-10pm for four weeks. That's going to be hard but at least he's not on weekends.

    Right off to go sort out data.
    HSBC CC - £3000 / £3000
    Halifax CC - £1032.77 / £1032.77
    Mortgage currently at [STRIKE]£82,299.71[/STRIKE] £76,017.62 would love to overpay
  • Thankyou all for the Congrats. The day went well for Mr PG, he actually already knew a lot of people that the project is for although he didnt realise that until he arrived. He was home about 7 ish but then set straight to work again until about 10, but its all par for the course really.

    Mrs B - Yes, its great that he will be in London, it took him three hours to get to work this morning though ! Its the first time in 14 years I think that we have guaranteed UK / Local ish work so we are really pleased. It doesnt look like he will be going abroad until about June so I cant complain. :D

    Fallen, the painting sounds a nice surprise ! The hours sound a bit of a pain that OH will be doing but if he is around at weekends its got to be worth it. I would put him on housework duty though in the mornings if he wont be starting until 1.30 !!


    Other than that, we have had to stump up £100 for some software that we need for the job, the igloo is melting fast and I have the builders in today for the final look over what needs doing in the house. They will work out timings , costings, how much scaffolding needed and what rooms we need to ship out of. The loft needs to be completely emptied although I think they are going to put it all in storage for us,but even so I feel like I need to at least muck it out first ! You never know what goodies I may find to pop on ebay. Talking of which I sold a couple of small bits at the weekend , only came to about £10 but better than nothing The Kids Hunter Wellie socks have attracted 65 views since Sunday and have 18 watchers which I found surprising ! The last pair sold for £7.50 so we will see what these ones fetch !

    Right off now do boil the kettle ready for Bob the Builders arrival xx

    I hope Bob is here and ready to go :p

    I need to start working out splitting the chores more evenly and not feeling bad about asking him to do things, I don't mind doing the laundry etc but I need to find things that are his to do and then I think he may be a little more proactive.

    Good luck on the ebay hunt, I'm sure you'd have a field day in my flat.
