Just found out it costs £4 for all day parking if I park in the right spot. Which is easy as I get in ridiculously early on a Saturday

That's 60p more than a bus.

I'm driving next week

I'll walk if the weather's nice, drive if it's manky

Very exciting we went to tesco last night in the car, got a sh*t load of food, I won't have to go out today, and won't have to go out
Except for the odd bit of fresh stuff during the week either

Daughter has a cold so plans for going out today are a bit scuppered, but we'll do something next Sunday instead....

Smartphones are brilliant. In the wait for my visually impaired student's parent to get hold of a score for me to transcribe onto sibelius and enlarge, I took a photo of it from another student, and transcribed it today, squinting at the photo on my phone
Job done!
Just need to do all the different enlarging stuff now....

On an unrelated note, I keep stalling the damn car :grr:

It's not the car, it really is me.
I've never driven a car with a relatively quiet engine before, and I can't work out how to drive the flipping thing without hearing the engine take off like something out of Houston when I'm doing a three point turn!

When did cars get this quiet?

I can't drive it in the rain!!!!!!! Can't hear the engine over the pelting noise!!!!!

Goodness. I've had to contact another teacher to see I they have spaces as I'm now so nearly fully booked I may need to pass enquiries for new students on. Never had to do that before!

School is open. Daughter is off school with a nasty cold.
Typical!

I'm now twiddling my thumbs and debating about going into town to cash all my cheques (nasty weather) and buying soya flour, or chickening out and driving to tesco to buy flour, and s*d the cheques till Friday

ChopinonaBudget

Sod the cheques. It's tipping it down. I've still got cash to bank and that's at the post office (1 minute walk)

Ar*e I've caught my daughter's cold
I'm feeling ridiculously sorry for myself considering I don't actually feel that unwell - not sure why, it's a bit pathetic really....

I've been in bed till now, I need to brave the day at last, check food supplies, bank cash, be in for loft insulation at 1pm, and start teaching at 3.30pm

ChopinonaBudget

Loft is insulated!!!!! I wonder how much difference that will make to the gas bills

ChopinonaBudget

Either this house is too hot with insulation, or I'm running a temperature ....
