Hey up all

Hideous weather here - brrish indeed and windy and rainy - storage heaters are all off which means we'll be cold for at least a day or so after we put them back on.

Paperwork day for me and most of it a la homestead.

Puppies walked and DD to school bus
Eggs collected and hens fed
Cuppa in hand

Must check banks
Find car insurance doc as I've a crack in my windscreen - bah
Meet DD in town later for tea and then go to the show she's playing in
Bit of post to do
Tidy up
Must do a freezer list and munch our way through that
Keep wooly hat and salopets on as its freezing!

Hope you all have a good un, I'm off ot check the banks etc and see if I can pay some off my cc's

OK expenses are in so that money's gone across to my dd (£500) and I've done a payment of £200 to the other one from the extra garden work.

Job done for the moment - got timesheet to do for the college and two invoices to send out which are written.

(One for frog lady)

First tick of the day - might move through to room with printer and get on with that in a mo.

If you have fully comp insurance Pippi most companies will let you go through them without the faff of insurance. When the litte so and so (:mad:) tried to steal my car in January they smashed my window. When I phoned the insurance they didn't even speak to me just put me straight through to the windscreen companies. ...............If I ever get a hold of the little so and so that did it I'll beat £70 quids worth out of them (my excess I had to pay, but it was that or £500). The windscreen company was really good, the glass had to be ordered (apparently none for my car in UK and it was a choice of Holland or Japan!), they made my car safe and gave me all the paperwork I needed for the police. It took about a week all in and the install was quick and they explained how it would work. If the glass is just cracked they should be able to take it out in one piece, mine shattered as they took it out and I ended up with glass all over my drive.

Windscreen sorted £60- to pay and they'll phone me to tell me when they're coming - Uni - you're right - thank goodness for fully comp policies.

Frozen here - I need breakfast and to tidy up clearly as that might keep me warm - paper day today so I might go and look and see if there are any houses.

Also need to go into town but will leave that til later and do that before I meet up with DD

I've been doing the ironing while DD has been working in the "starnac sock pairing sweatshop" Exciting days all round :rotfl: although DD actually enjoyed herself and learnt a new skill. Who would have thought balling socks was such a complex skill?

Well done on getting invoices done.
