Some small steps forward:

• reviewed the budget in light of the new plans
• ordered a new DVD player from J0hn L£wi$ and found that they have a promotion on at the moment and I'll be able to claim £50 back :T
• mortgage payment has gone down a little due to the cut in interest rates
• first Tilly Tidy to the house move fund
• worked out how to operate the new TV and discovered we have free Amazon Prime for a month :T Lots of free films to catch up on
• Made Lentil & Sweet Potato Curry from the meal plan for supper. There's a portion leftover for the freezer too.

Just off to check the weather forecast. There's a severe weather warning today and I'm taking a tour out :eek:

Have a good weekend guys

Fortune how exciting about planning house move and that you are lucky to be able to pick where you live due to DH job being flexible. I love looking at r1ght m0ve even just to get inspiration for options

Imagine all the fresh inspiration for your paintings that you will get in a lovely county such as Shropshire.

Lovely shiny new tv and DVD too.

Thank you Greying - I'm drawn to things that make me smile or feel good so I'm hoping my paintings have the same effect.

Thank you Purp I've started to feel a lot more positive now I've made some decisions.

Love house hunting but find it a bit scary too. Such a big life decision.

Maybe I'll be able to find a house with a studio :cool: - that would be something.

Definitely a loaf day yesterday:

• took a tour out in the morning. Very blowy but at least the afternoon's torrential rain was avoided
• got a £10 tip :T
• went for coffee and cake with a colleague I haven't seen for a while. Spent £10 tip I felt I should share it with her as she'd helped me a lot with the tour
• did an extra little job in the evening and got paid £50 cash
• didn't have time to eat but at least that saved some £s and some lbs
• made some small TTs to the moving fund
• de-cluttered the last of a bottle of red

Mr F is still away at his 4x4 thingy but coming home sometime today. So I'm not intending to do much. A bit of housework perhaps and I might start another painting.

Have a lovely Sunday everyone

ooo - that would be lovely Fortune - I have daydream envy!:D:D:D

Would love love love to have a self-contained studio at the end of the garden...

Have been eyeing up diy kits at the shed store!

My OH is trying to convince me to set up our second bedroom as a crafting room / study - but having already had some family members & friends over to visit - I love that at the drop of a hat, they can stay overnight! - Maybe he's trying to tell me that my corner of the sitting room is a bit untidy!:o:o:o:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Might be a tad outside our budget RT but it's nice to imagine isn't it.

I did look at these for our spare room thinking it might make a good studio but they are soooo expensive.

Would work well though.
