Natty's Kicking her Mortgage in the Pants Diary

nattypants

This morning, it feels like my back has toothache so will take another couple of paracetamol (I hate taking tablets of any sort, however will probably buy some Ibuprofen as none in the house - I have found a heat pad thingy though if need be:))

I am still in <insert open-mouthed-smilie> at the £15 bid as I had originally placed in the charity shop pile, however decided to stick on ebay so I had an even number of items:p

HDK - as long as you're in for the long-haul I would agree to spend the £££s to create the perfect home for your needs - if you want an open bath in your bedroom (as in the last SB 'Selling Houses' episode) you just go for it:D

Morning Natty

Glad to hear you are feeling a bit brighter this morning. Had to smile at your description of 'back toothache' though

Good Morning BW:)

Paracetamol has kicked in, and back feeling better which unfortunately means I have no excuse to do house-work.... dammit:p

Ebay sale at £15 has already been paid by the buyer, so I have written to thank him, and I will parcel today and post tomorrow.

Out of original six items, two will be re-listed during next FLW, along with new items. I like this game:D

I have finally ordered my tumble-drier which I am already excited about, mainly as I have washing-upon-washing on driers all over the house....and more towels in the machine. In approximately 6 working days or so, I will have fluffy dry clothes and an electricity bill that is sky high:o

It's a really grey day outside, so planning on having another LSD - newspaper and purchase of more brown paper - 20m for £1.99 at Ald* BUT THAT'S ALL:D

Oops . Have you gone for the Beko? Mine is arriving Tues am . Do you have economy 7 - one of my 'must haves' was a delayed start button which I will be making the most of (external timers don't seem to work). Life is too short to spend 1/2 the year with washing hanging everywhere .

Not quite gone for that roll top in the front window I'm afraid:eek: (can't believe she sat in the bath right in front of window, I know you'd close curtains but still...)

....Do however have a fab lights / spa bath which is larger than the average bath, as me and DH often share a bath. Or the kids will get in together. Money well spent in my opinion (but obviously wouldnt be everyones cup of tea) Had one (normal sized) in old house and I so missed it, so it was a definite MUST HAVE when doing up this place. Nothing better than a book, lights dimmed (yes, have dimmer pull cord in bathroom) and bath lights / bubbles on.


Have parcelled up singular sale so far (have 2 more items with definite bid) have relisted a couple of 99p items but also will wait till next FLW for other stuff.

Yes Beko same as you:D I ended up buying from Woolworth as 6 working day delivery date, all other dates were 20th November (I suffer from lack of patience:rotfl:), then they decide to email me to let me know that delivery will be 20th November!!!! *"%!!*&"

Hate having washing on driers so feeling all glum like this:( as I now have to wait for lots of days until I have fluffy towels which I think deserves another

Your spa bath sounds fab. I do love baths, although hardly ever have one - my bathroom is fairly bleurghhh although if done up would be great as it has a large window overlooking my back garden - which is v. v. private by the way:p

Doing up the bathroom is on my list of things to do, however pretty much after everything else....as you may remember I already discourage any visitors from going to the loo......:D

Sounds like a cue for candles to me :cool:.

I'll fluff some towels for you on Tuesday .

Already do the candle thang....in fact always have loads of candles on to the point, if the heating is on (which it always is!), the house gets too hot!!!

Thank you in advance for the fluffy towels. My address is;

At long last, tomorrow is pay day and we're moving into the month of November which is always one of my favourite months....the shops become really exciting, I can wear my Uggs all the long day long (well except during work), and the Christmas lights are switched on which makes everything look really, really pretty.

I have done a pre-check of grocery receipts and, with the exception of tomorrow's purchases for guisers, the total for October is...............drum roll....................... £296.29 this is all in (not just food) and also included a bird bath, bag of bird seeds and lots toiletries and candles so I am very:D:D:D:Dwith myself! Down over £100 for last two months and almost £200 down from July!!!!

Also wine was down to £13.47 for the month, thanks to £2.99 cheapo merlot, which by the way, I now find rank and the remaining bottle is for recipe use only, so I will have to off-set November's forecast increase.

I reckon I may be able to do a cheeky wee extra mortgage O/P just for the hell of it:p
