Good luck.
If you have 3 Halifa@ accounts, may have a go. Did you have any problems or just opened them all on line? Thx

Thank you, my method of planting and hoping for the best didn't pay off then!!
Re: the banking, I think we opened a joint and one in my name originally and then I opened one for DH after discovering this forum. I don't even leave the money in the account, switch it around straight away.June 2025 - part 1 - £19,145 part 2 - £21,973 Total - £41,118 29 months to go!1 -
Hi Cah, good luck with having another go a rocket. I tend to plant rocket, coriander at the same time using short rows (under 1m long), as I use both in salads, it allows enough for salads most days.
Can you believe the weather :eek:

Good morning, we have woken to storms and rain. Frantic day at work yesterday and I came home and went straight to bed. I felt faint/wobbly and that sounds like too much adrenaline coursing round, so thought it better to relax. I slept for 12 hours :eek:
Have woken to start a new day and to receive a voice mail from a good friend of mine who is suffering. She is accepting too much work and is struggling to say no. The type of conversation required is better performed by a counsellor or coach, as it's a hard message to hear from a friend. I will call her this morning and see how the land lies.
Working from home today, home made pizza for supper, with salad. A little ironing to be fitted in between some calls. I want to finish on time today and my last call finishes at 5pm, so I will be logging off.
I missed the bike ride yesterday due to feeling quite ropey but we are off right after work today, come rain or shine.
Have a great day. Tilly x2004 £387k 29 years - MF March 2033:eek:

Woken to a bright sky and no rain :j
No lodgers next two weeks as one is on holiday and one studying. Money in and no guests, can't be bad. Off to L!dl for a small shop, fruit, veg and a chicken.
I have put aside £60 to cover the next two weeks essential shopping - freezer and larder well stocked and veg growing well so should be fine. Thinking about this, I won't need that much so will OP remainder.
I had another £co payment so that was OPd, and I have started OPing lodgers food money. As they used to pay cash I used it for incidental spends, but as they are both BACS transferring it's going straight off the mortgage.
I haven't ordered from Superdru& before but they have some offers on things DD needs, so will use TCB and have a go.

Just loaded the car up to go to the tip whilst on route to L!dl - looks like Mr T has had a quiet sort out. A boot and car full - where does it all come from.2004 £387k 29 years - MF March 2033:eek:

Mornin Tilly
Hope youre feeling better and your friend is ok, I think its easy to get stuck into doing way too much and /or taking on too much and have certainly got into situations where I notice it only when as you say I have way too much excess addrenalin racing round the body!
Sleep and work from home sounds like just the ticket!:)
ps love that you are counting down till xmas already :rotfl:1 -

Mad, you're all mad I tell you
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Morning TYO, feeling back to normal, the sleep did me good. I am fortunate that I love what I do but there are some days when it becomes overwhelming. I did the right thing.
I am keeping a watching eye on Christmas, I think the weather isn't helping as yesterday was quite autumnal I thought - in June :eek::eek:
Hiya GG, I will be in the sun for Christmas :T. There had better be sun in the UK over the next few weeks, but until then I will have to keep counting down.
Tip, shopping, unpacking, washing finished. Fridge stocked with beer for the footie and I am going to have a lovely time cooking this afternoon. DD wants to fit a run in this afternoon as well which I don't feel up to as I did catch a chill. She may have to take a dog
Looking forward to Germany vs Portugal tonight, wish I was in Portugal to watch, but will have to manage with Bratwurst, German mustard and chicken piri piri so that we cover both sides
