Morning All


Lovely to see such as busy thread:D My list for today:

Clean carpet in spare room so we can put wardrobes up - have already vacuumed - need to pop out to buy some more solution for the carpet cleaner
Meals from stores - lamb stew in slow cooker already
check banking - update my spreadsheet - see if there is a way of getting excel on to my iPad (free or as cheaply as possible) so I don't have to keep logging on to my work PC whilst I'm off
Sorted out some more stuff to declutter - big box for charity shop - will drop off later if I can
Moved all books from one spare room to another (whilst loosing a few to charity shop)
Gas man finally fixed our water issue at 4th time of asking :j

Think that's about all, have a great day everyone

I have managed all the above apart from finding the excel sheet for iPad. Found one that is about £6 - may just think of another way.

I have also had notification that the subs I chased the gym for as they increased my DD when we are on a life time deal will be refunded and DD will return to previously agreed amount.

I have also given notification at DD nursery for her days to be reduced in half - saving £369 per month - at least for the next few months :j:eek::D

stitching witch I live just up the road from you (Andover way). Which craft fairs do you do? It's something I'd like to get into next year

This craft fair is in my village, almost opposite my house actually and I'm using it to see how I get on although, realistically, it's a small village and I've not seen much advertising so I don't know how busy it will be, especially if this weather keeps up!
We were only given 5 weeks notice so it's been a bit of a scramble getting stock done, but my friend and I are going to make stuff all year round to really fill a stall in town next year. PM me if you're interested.

And on a DFW note, the water company have sent me a cheque for fitting our water meter late in the spring, and uplifted it by £20 for taking so long in sending the cheque! I wasn't expecting anything so it's a £55 bonus :j:j

Ohhhhhhh I hate that - my last neighbours were a couple and I never heard them .... this lot, I can hear them thundering up and down the stairs, slamming doors etc ...... sympathies from me:(

When we moved in we had a fairly young couple like us next door & they were so lovely! I wish I had taken the time to get to know them more now as I miss them so much lol. The most we heard was the lady laughing or the bloke singing! He even had a good voice These people seem nice & at least when the child cries this time we can hear someone going to him instead of letting him wail for hours but I would like my sleep while I still can! When I'm ready for sleepless nights then I'll have my own kids to wake me up, haha, & in a house with thicker walls so as not to disturb the neighbours....

I am glad you've managed to avoid a return trip to hospital, hope you are feeling much better very soon, it sounds very serious x
