    Brizzle, Can you please make sure you have spent all your rain in the next three weeks because I'll need the sun to be shining again on West Country in last week of August ;)

    Happy tidying:)

    Thanks beanie - feeling like a regular boarding house here but all good and it will settle down here when the overlap stops.

    Nice again - washing out :)

    It's so good to her positive lodger stories as in a years time I hope to be able to do the same
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    All good. Think it'll be fine.

    Not much to report on MSE front...but quick update of what there is..

    - 2 meals out yesterday as went to a big street art festival so burger lunch (although we shared) and then out for pizza...but no other spends at all. Today just some grocery spends and now chilling with the XBox :) :eek:.. Now we've bought it gotta use it :)
    - some drizzle today but otherwise all laundry underway
    - making a chicken and orange tajine with coucous for dinner..and had an amazing lush tortilla for lunch made by the Spanish teacher we have staying :)
    - OH had to despatch one of the chickens yesterday..she declined very fast and was in a bad way..massive prolapse. Sad but guess it sometimes happens.
    - done TTs every day this week and have stopped thinking about changing mortgage for now. Pain as I had a credit check but oh well.
    - stock market riding high but fear it won't last. Drip feeding money in but conscious more important to build up my emergency fund.
    - when I am away will try and think about some more work..for the Autumn. Need to pull my finger out and get marketing!

    Hope everyone is well

    Xx
