    Sheep are fine, thank you :) Found another two wooden spoons today! One of them's so old it looks handcarved.

    Wow, loving the spoon chat. As I work in Wales so much think I should try and source a love spoon..maybe Igamogam could assist?? (It would bring me sparkle and joy! And is 7 spoons really so bad??!;))

    Large glass of wine at hand. Life is good :) Could go for a run, but will give it a miss. Still shattered and much more to achieve tomorrow. Quite a work week thats for sure.

    Good day today but still no run. Badly needed so maybe tomorrow..

    Freezing this morning despite wearing thermals :eek: but refused to put heating on. Did fire up woodburner at 2pm though..and that's made a huge difference.

    OH cracking on with DIY after taking afternoon off.

    Few bits at SM to try and get a MOV ...but trotted in at £49!! But did get some good offers but even so need to watch that. But a £6 off voucher safely ready for next week so that's OK.

    Also did some more business development work which is good, getting better at a regular routine on that score. Nothing yet, but some promising leads today.

    £4.07 on the panels :T Despite the cold weather and some showers. Did a TT and YNB is totally up to date. (Thanks OH!) just need to tweak the budget for next month as we overspent this. Big birthdays coming up next month and one after too.

    DD1 working hard for GCSEs. School staff working hard for them too. Fingers and everything crossed for exams and then August 25th..

    Thanks NOA

    Weird weather today - so many showers - only £2.69 on panels so far - but chickens loving their new larger run

    Spends for birthdays and gifts for folk doing us good turns too. But thoughtful purchases so not beating myself up about it. Huge (2/3 + off :T) discount off an item for DD1s birthday - was already reduced from price stated online but when OH went into the shop to buy (we are old skool for buying electrical items) it had a further reduction at the till taking it to £29.99 from £99.99... Whoop

    Have a good long weekend all

    Good days...work has gone well and more invoices in and approved. Doing more exercise which is long overdue. More OPs to the mortgage and one to the SIPP.

    Small bit of decluttering, 4 items to CS yesterday.

    Planning to do some decluttering today and put an item on Fleabay.

    An off grid weekend I think (no wifi) so will pop back next week, hope everyone's ok!

    11 items of clothing decluttered but not quite gotten to CS yet! So won't update until they have definitely gone.

    Quiet on money front. Need to push for some more sales and also think about sensible holiday plans which won't bust the bank.

    Hope weather is good for everyone. Think sun is breaking through here :)
