    YAY to card clearance! WHOOP! A lot of hard work has gone into vanquishing that card - brilliant!!! :D
    Pay deposit for a wee lovely beastie for the new hoose - thank you Greying for introducing me to Quirky Bird. (wedding money)

    ^^ This is not ringing any bells with me. Whilst I love getting thank you's :D Are you sure that it is me that deserves them? I'd hate to purloin someone elses's Ta's and bask in the glory of *positively useful*-ness. Most especially if it was due to someone else's hard work and direction pointing :o

    Humungous lists there again madam - PLEASE remember to breathe!

    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!

    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.

    Emailed council tax folks

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

    :)

    DD had a driving lesson
    Doglets went to the beach


    And, aside petrol a NSD today.

    Packed up a few wee bits into drawers

    Decided to leave off putting boxes into the garage until I'm done with the crazy sanding.

    Stoor everywhere. Bleurgh especially bad in yer drawers!
