Ooh - something I remember we found useful when we moved - might be helpful to keep an every-couple-of-days note of meter readings at the moment so that if (god forbid) you forget to take them on moving day you can provide an accurate estimate.
Happy worky day lovely - hope the sun shines on you! xx
Good plan and I think this is a great idea!
DD did googly fine thank you!Happy Monday & as EH says remember to breathe!!I did indeed remember to breathe and had a cheeky wee walk in a local park for 15 mins at lunchtime too between both jobs with les mutts.
Good advice there EH on the meter readings.
Pippi that is one HUGE list today. Don't forget to breathe like others have said. I can't believe how close to is all getting. I'm getting excited for you
Good luck to DD. She is a clever sort so I'm sure she will be fine. No harm in sending good luck thoughts thoughthank you me dear

OK so tonights progress
Chookie picked through and meat extracted.
Gravey made from the roast drippings
Stock a bubbling away from the bones
Did a nigella on the frog in the bog - squished out sausages as little bullets - was OK not sure I'd do it again although it made one big fat sausage go a long way
Also squished out some sausages as wee meat balls and cooked the other four as proper sausages whilst it was all cooking in oven.

Paid wine money to the card so £30 off the card for a few alcofrol free days.
