    Morning lands - a good nights sleep isn't that lovely.

    Mara - still time you know and the 'headless chicken' bit of the job I'm keeping so if you've a mind crack at and get that application form in!

    Beanie - how are you today love? After your tumble off your trike?

    Moomin - truth be told I hadn't realised how much it was until I added it up :) should get it over 5k before I go (the 450 I paid to the WRONG card is floating its way (at a very leisurely pace) to my bank)

    :) thanks all round for being lovely and frothy hot choc's all round.

    The sun is out here today.

    So a wee listypops

    Banks/cards and will the money which is in cyberspace back to my account
    Text dd - might be nice to know WHERE she is as she' currently 'on tour' in Scotland (no cello)
    Money (that she forgot to pay) to her driving instructor today
    Meetings in town so expensed miles
    Paperwork to do
    Doglets to walk
    Tea/lunch/brekkie will be something marvelous from the cupboards/freezer
    Tins to food bank today? I know what I'll not get through and what's in date.
    Try and do a couple more boxes but to be fair there can't be more than a couple left just the 'odds and sods' category left.
    Wash sofa cover - dry indoors
    Wash upstairs shower curtain - dry indoors (its got the periodic table on it - so whilst the new house is very co-ordinated this will nicely clash with the new house's decor :D
    Clean a room
    Message land lady with damp wall in one bedroom and photo of desk in down stairs office (new tenants want?)
    Tidy up desk at learning factory a bit as am in town
    Check the foodbank (if its open) and see how our leaflets are doing.
    Boxes to garage tidy up in there a bit too
    Put printer money in bank.
    Try and service big mower self if I can or book him into get down in town. Folks coming see him over weekend.
    See if I've stuff to make some sushi.

    FIND MR MRF's COMPUTER MONITOR before the boat tonight. :D

    That's more than enough for today I think.

    Mainly it will be meetings and paperwork.

    £1,485.00 current CC balance.

    No wine last night so I'll lob a fiver over there to be getting that figure down. Maybe it might be under 1000 when we leave?

    In fact no vino tonight either so I'll pop a tenner by.

    Depends if the money in cyberspace comes through.

    Slowly slowly catchy monkey.

    Last mobile payment off for the month too.

    :) no more dd's this month.

    :eek: Oh No! Not.....THE CREPE PAN! :eek::eek::rotfl:

    sending "get ye under £1k" vibes to that pesky card - I reckon you're going to do it you know, and I've not been wrong yet! :D

    Mum2one - FANTASTIC about that ring - you clearly have an eye for such things - are you keeping or flogging? You obviously liked it enough to pay that amount in the first place so....either way, whichever suits you will be perfect! :T

    Beanie - not surprised you're feeling a bit iffy - take care of you. xx

    LOVED your shower curtain by the way - it was funny seeing how many of them I remembered while I was looking at it! :D (And how many that were actually, now, complete mysteries....remembered Lead though, and gold!)
