    Heating man been and gone, part ordered and with a bit of look repair can take place on Friday. He even got the remote control for the boiler working again. :A

    I've sorted train times for tomorrow's outing to the Royal Armories in Leeds and I'm now cold, so I'll go looking for my cardigan and make some lunch.

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    I got distracted looking at videos then pictures about that festive event in December :whistle: I decorate my window using liquid chalk and I'll be needing to buy new ones so was looking for a little inspiration as I don't want to leave the planning until the last minute like I did last year. They can also be very expensive to buy so I'm also looking into alternatives ;)

    DD has had a sort through of her paperwork. She still hasn't finished but she's filled a carrier bag with papers so its progress ;)

    Now I guess I should think about getting on with some paid stuff:o

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Sorry I missed all the HHCs. After lunch I decided to carry on with admin stuff. I can fly after work if I have to, but phone calls are a nightmare to fit in.

    I have now phoned my bank before the Easter holidays, in the second week of the same holidays and I've made 3 calls to different numbers today. After all that I'm no further to my goal (temporarily reduce mortgage payments to minimum and use the extra funds to pay off loan quicker and save some interest - the advise I think they should have given me in the first place). The last person I spoke to promised to fax/mail my branch and ask them to contact me.

    Coming back from collecting DS2 I realised that our bin hadn't been emptied (it's full to the top). I filled in the relevant form on the website and live in hope.

    Maybe I used up all my good luck with the quick heating engineer call out... :cool:

    Plan for the next few hours:
    Stop eating carp (this may prove to be impossible)
    make jam
    make corned beef hash (because it's a cold day and we all like it)
    phone hairdresser
    locate GUAG (may need to be done first)
    plan food for day out tomorrow
    plan DS1's lunch/tea for tomorrow (when I've seen him)

    ETA At least I've successfully ordered catfood and I'm now toying with an AF order, although I'm not sure there's enough I need to justify the P&P.
