    I think part of the problem is there is zero grass in the field its really dusty, hate to say it but could really do with some rain :cool:

    *looks at Olympic-sized swimming pool in top two fields after the remains of two hurricanes hit north Scotland last night*

    *sends some rain south!*

    Sounds like progress with hoss :)

    Please send some rain, none again down here, got really dusty brown fields, more hay out for the hoss this morning, just a wee bit of rain would make it grow!!

    OH got paid today, £200, ok for 4 days work, need to check his a/c but should be able to transfer all of that to joint a/c, meaning next week should be able to put some to the debt :)

    Morning world :) Lovely weekend, friday went for lovely Thai slightly more expensive than planned £70 for the 2 of us, and only one glass of wine consumer :eek:

    Saturday did 3 loads of washing and not much else :cool: Then out in the evening, OH was chaffeur :) and only spent £25 :) Only had £15 in purse, so owe sister £10 but may forget it as gave her a load of dishwasher stuff recently so that evens it out.

    Sunday was a NSD, re-listed some items on ebay that didnt sell. Gave the bathroom, bedroom and kitchen a really good clean and got OH to complete a few small outstanding diy tasks, like finishing the shower off and putting new light fitting in bedroom. Slowly getting there. Had some going of oranges and lemons so made a drizzle cake with lemon and orange rind. Have some bananas going of so will use them tonight, mashed banana I think is on the menu :)

    Because of the weekends slight overspends OH couldnt transfer as much to joint a/c, just £100 but pay day again friday and a/c looking ok to cover bills. Not much for overpayments so need to up extra bits like evay, surveys etc to get these paid of. Mortgage out today so another small debt decrease.

Shouldnt need all of this poss £20 or so.

    £30.60 spent on groceries so a good spend and lots gotten with it to last until next months big shop :)

    Just switched utilities, stayed with same company but changed tarriffs as my one due to end shortly. Used £931.77 of energy last year for electricity and gas, checked uswitch could have gone with different supplier but is only £10 or so difference in it so have stayed, means can keep the online accounts and direct debits all the same, nothing has really changed. And get nectar points monthly for submitting readings and as one of our major supermarkets is Sainsburys makes sense to stay. So happy have crossed another thing of my to do list :D

    Been quite productive at work too ;)

    It wouldn't be the first wonky clip he's had! He's very easy to do, always goes to sleep, only waking for the bit round the ears.
