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

EssexHebridean

Get some rest is right - although Cheery, what on earth were YOU doing up at 7am on a Sunday? R4L related, I guess?!

I'm trying to picture 21 teenagers in Pippi's wee hoose and failing....did they sit on the stairs?! :rotfl:

I don't *think* your moving fund money does include the fire - pretty sure it was on £165 before that. You'll work it out though. :T

EH large dining table cleared - 10ft long - they mostly fitted around the table which sadly was directly under my bedroom floor - man til 3am it was a bit noisy.

However, Cheery no one died - last of the kids got taken home early doors this am and then DD and I hit tescos (bread and fabric spray and dug fud)

They had a blast and yup it was end of exams and bonvoyage type of thing.

Being 'parent on call' if required is tiring!

DD's still not gone to bed.

I'm lolling wth a cuppa before some folks come to look at van stuff.



I'll look back and tott up money raised thanks EH.

Coughs politely.

Just sold £100 spares from me old van. Cheque on fridge.



Off to fathom the total now towards the move.

Listing things sold (bold = paid)
Piano - 50
Piano - 40
Garage bits and tools - 25
Sewing machine - 50 cash
Trailer - semi-swap for hen house - happy girl
Heater - 50
Strimmer - 30
Strimmer - 50 tp
Fire guard - 10 tp
Tent - 40
Darwin spares - 100

Reserved
Printer - 50

Semi reserved - large mower (£500)

Listed but unsold
Stair wicker basket - £15
Scanner - 50
Desk - 10 (might end up free to a good home)
Exhaust for VW camper - £500 (can take if doesn't sell not stressed its brand new and will keep its value and sell doon sooth)


Also need to double check through tools and tents etc - we've 4 tents one's a family one - don't need that now I don't think.

Also pondering one 'non crucial' sofa'. Kipplan ikea replaceable. Might get 60 for it.

Also pondering the kitchen wee table with the 'pie' seats - its not that comfy although good in a small space. Ponders some more.

Garage is half full/half empty depending on your prespective!



ETA you'll notice the campervan isn't on this list either. I'm still pondering his outcome although I think we all know its real fate. Had a wee message about an interest in him must chase up.

House is clean and tidy nothing like a party to focus the mind.

If me sums are correct - guaranteed sells are £445 towards the move.

I've checked and checked again - that might be right.



Thanks for giving me a wee push. And telling me to rethink the 'important' - not so important bits.

When you move the guitars, amps, pianos, bruck, spare beds, out its amazing what you can fit in that big room

£1,845.78 on card.

£15 paid off towards card as no wine either last night or tonight nor tomorrow night either and £100 from the sales in the garage

Must sort out the muddle of paying the wrong card - doh - when my head is straight!

So that's now 1730.78

Tottles off to pay the extra 78p just cos RT will prefer that. Tidier - as Sophiesmum use to say.

Dog fud - 4.45
Bacon - £2.49
Crusty sour dogh - £1.40

Today's grub spends. Must put them on the list. And, update spends etc not been much this month.

Must also tottle off into the lands of the freezer and fridge as its t-minus 2 weeks here til FLITTING

£1730 is just so much prettier than £1730.78!!!!

Well done on keeping on top of all your spends in the middle of all this move stuff!

I must admit that details of spends elude me when life gets hectic!

:eek:Only 12 days to go!!!:eek:

WOW - just WOW:D

Scary biscuits eh?

Um in denial.

Overall denial is where I am.

Dd tip tapping away doing final prep for her trip. Fiat stop central scotland.

Wee tea tomorrow - then late boat.

Must rake through the cupboards for grub update.

:-)

Saas application one last bit to do them it's done.

Hi Pippi!! :wave:

I'm FINALLY dropping by to say hello - your diary moves soooooo fast its hard to know where to jump in!! I have subscribed and have been reading during the babba's night feeds, you have been keeping me awake and entertained

You are doing brilliantly, I am so impressed with the decluttering mission, and I too pay what I haven't spent on to the debt - yesterday it was £4 for coffee that never happened in a garden centre, so you're not the only strange one

Anyway, I'll be off, and will no doubt catch up at approx 2am :eek::p
