Thanks guys.
Good day on the panels. Exhausting week..but so nice to see the bank account swollen by the ISA cheque credits. Not cleared yet of course but you can see it pending!!:D
Seeing my folks this weekend which will be nice and maybe some friends on Sunday. Day off on Monday. Bliss...and I need to move down a gear.
Feels very cosy here with the woodburner on:eek: very strange to be putting the fire on almost the longest day but needs must, :TMFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Thanks Lucielle
Not a great day weather wise here and feel a bit flat. Maybe coffee and breakfast will get me going??!!
Plan to do some meal planning this week. Also watching the spends like a hawk...

The weather really is quite mad - hard to believe the wood burner is going in the middle of June :eek: Maybe we will have a mild autumn :rotfl:
Enjoy your long weekend, sounds like you have been pretty manic. Good luck on the menu planning - I find it really relaxing to sit and read cookery books. We're currently using a different book a week and have tried some beautiful dishes.

Lovely day here, if a bit windy. Washing machine on the go and about to go and mow the grass.

Hi all
Turned into a busy but rather lovely weekend..
Highlights included putting in lots more beans and some more salad ( which is doing exceptionally well under the polythene) whilst being rained on ( it did make me feel hardy:rotfl:) and earning £150+ on the camper van hire. We did go out for Fathers Day lunch but for a fixed and very reasonable price so all good.
Hope everyone has had a good weekend xMFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Yippedidoodah..
Signature now under £14k for the first time in a while...have set up the bill payments for when the cheques clear later this week. 2 CCs will be completely gone before the month is out and I will then close them.
Great feeling.
Also we have another hire for the van so that particular venture is trundling along quite nicely. Certainly even with tax it should pay for the overheads this year.
Not much else to report. Family birthdays this month but am keeping it very low key.
Plan to check in on people's diaries soon!

Cleared 2 cards. YAY:j:j:j:j:j:j:beer::j:j:D:j:j
Small problem in that the latest van hire means we can't do something but OH and I have agreed that needs must..it's cash we need for debt busting/ offset against other spends we have already made. It also means we will use a different vehicle which is much more fuel efficient.
Need to work today so off now to try and get myself sorted. Hope everyone has a good day
