Mrs McB's countdown to adventures with chooks (and Rock Gods)

Cheery_Daff

YAY for cheques and hen houses and cheerfulness :j :j :j :j

Pippilongstocking

Aw thanks guys I've been very much LESS than cheerful over the past few days but Ive had a good class and whilst busy its grand being around folks.

Banked cheque between shifts yesterday. Which is quite efficient even for me.

Back late 10pm and succumbed to the call of the reduced aisle and brought home posh bread and reduced sausages, oh the decadence.

Another 3.67 on the groceries.

Banks to cheque and I do actually need to write a list that doesn't completely scare me. There's lots to do and works ramped up a bit (always does doesn't it)

Nice chat with the guru last night and both mutually sad at my demise/departure but that's life eh?

Lots going on family wise which I can't really discuss (but thank you for all your kind wishes - I'm a bit quiet on that front IYSWIM) and immersing myself in nonsense.

DD leaves home here in a little over 10 days and whilst its planned, its a bit sad and adventuring happy all at the same time.

New chapters and all that.

TRG as always is being a rock (star) and the hounds are helping.

Off to do money and stuff and maybe a 'small' list just to get today a bit productive.

Hope you're all good and a darn less grumpy/mumpy than me

Pippi (((((((((((hugs)))))))))))) for family things. Hope it'll sort itself out for you quite soon.

10 days til DD leaves?? Wow that's quick. When will she join you in your new home?

This is bound to be an emotional time for you saying goodbye to the life you have built up even though you know it's for a happy reason.

I know you have loads to do but make time for yourself too xx

Aw thanks Starnac.

She may join us in the new pad late in Aug/early Sept before she flees to uni inbetween times she'll be joining her other family for a few months doon in Chev's lands of NZ on a big adventure of her own. It will be a bit odd, but the manchild also returns home for the summer so I'll have someone to moan at and boss around.



Will be a bit odd though I have to say.

I'm lolliping the now and I've blogged nonsense as always - then a list and a cuppa and then off out and about to work.

thanks for the virtual hugs, I'm grand like you say all part of the plan and I'm sooooooooooooooooo super excited for her too.

Adventures are always fun.

Banks are squeaky but OK - wages not showing yet - as its a cheque I'll wait a wee while but if it doesn't show today I'll pop into the branch tomorrow.

Once those funds clear I can concentrate on paying things and being poor again.



CC's are sadly up but that's necessary spends

£1,990.95 lucifer

£996.89 captain (which has the highest rate)

Its bad but it could be worse and when the wages appear (as if by magic) it will be a bit better.

moving at the end of the month, so the likliehood of these being cleared is slight to nil - but I'll keep hammering them. My last proper wages hit the banks in July. Maybe that's a better timescale.

Ie not totally unrealistic as it is at the mo!

Massive HOOOGE hugs Stripes. Not easy for you I know - but things do have a way of working out, and I'm crossing my fingers that this is one of those times when that will happen.

I think you're right about the end of July being a better timescale for clearing the cards - it's inevitable that there are going to be move-associated costs at the moment, and some of that will have to go to the cards, but as you say, hopefully won't linger on there too long.

Posh bread and reduced sausages are always good - from your freezer list recently though you must be approaching having enough food kicking about to see you through to moving day though?

Fingers crossed to wages showing in the bank today too. :kisses3:

Big huggles Pippi xxx

Pippilongstocking

Aw hanks for the huggles guys

No wages showing yet PAH.

They have until tomorrow to appear or I'm in like a whippet.

EH - posh sausages in freezer so all well - we've a million and a half things out to eat. once TRG vacates the premises the meals will get a tad more ecclectic.

And cheers mucho for the hugs - card will be more realistic by then as you say bound to be moving costs and savings from NAE hoose which I pay for woo hoo finally this married woman malkaray might pay off

(that was a gino joke, I mean can you see me lolling and painting myself and toenails ALL day long til the TRG appears home again?)

Although right now it sounds ace to be a kept woman for a week or so.

Beanie waves too

I'm having a cuppa before I return to my life, sometimes I hide at work for an extra half hour - bad pippi.

Wrote a post earlier and then forum crashed, bah! You are doing well Pips, big changes on the horizon but in a good way, the other stuff is just minor irritations (or will seem that way when you look back LOL).

Keep your chins up Stripes. Feel free to PM if it will help.
