OK so now I've stopped slavering.

I've paid the Council Tax payment £96 to the cards as the lovely local council didnt take it

I've also paid another £5 off the cards as I've had another AF night

So I'm quite chuffed with that and like to thank Starnac and EH for reminding me that the council tax direct debit stops for two months

So debts now

-5023.43 with pengiun face
-4473.43 only CC's

So its slowly coming down.....................and we're trying hard to eat out the cupboards this next couple weeks. Thanks chaps its SO helping knowing that it means something to even reduce this by a fiver or pennies before MSE I'd have never known that the council tax only gets paid for 10 months so I thank you!



Nae job applications today - nothing is screaming at me and saying grab your wellies and run girl.

I'd like to borrow GP's three things for today that I'm grateful for


Seeing seals at the beach who followed us, we see them so much that its easy to just think, oh there goes a seal, but they're ace and make me smile.

For RG safe journey and sunshine whilst he got a wee bike treat ride in. I can't say that 18km up a hill is my bag so I'm glad he enjoyed it alone

For a sunny day allowing a wee wander with my student and seeing how many plants she knows now compared with only a month or two back. Its heartening seeing her so confident

Toddles off to investigate things to do with the Mr T vouchers and ponder.

ETA DD has a date for her driving test - I may need a wee lie down at the thought of her borrowing the car.

Sleep evades me.

This is not cool although its helping me catch up on blogs and writing something a bit more positive myself - so I must be feeling a bit better eh? Feel free to ignore my random haivers, most folks do

Hope you're all snoozing.

I'm looking at tesco's vouchers.......

So far I'm distracted by pop up greenhouses and pondering if they'll work in the teeny plot at RGs Kingdom Flat......

Or argh - vouchers for T&M

Yawns - 3.30am saw me still trying to get some shut eye.

Methinks I miss this RG more than I let on - shh don't tell him.

Must get on with the day - work meeting later to a 'free' trip into town and to a beach (we shall of course avoid the sinky sand beach for fear of our short legs being swallowed up by the beach - that would not be cool, if a bit of an adventure.)

Bright here - so wrigglagle is definitely needed.

Must make a plan for the diary once I've located my diary.

It will involve washing/work/walking - all the wubbleyous.



I must also find out if my work meeting is going ahead in the big metropolis of Inverness as then I might be able to coax the DS up for a sneaky day or two

Fingers crossed.

Reduced cheese, pizza,pate and f/r turkey fell into my mitts today.

Um, that's another 6.52 blown on my food budget,,,,,but lots of loot sand the tie,ey will do 4x2 people meals at the very least.

Ach well.

Also had an interesting chat at (learning factory) work today where they aren't adverse so some remote working. Do I emailed the other job too and put a toe n the water for keeping one/two days a week remotely.

Well, unless you ask you want know.

the RG and me were talking and he's happy if I work p/t to contribute towards university sprogs for which I'd need 1-2 days a week, I think, if I can clear me debts

Differnt way of looking at it, my contract runs out march 2015.......And whilst I'm just havering its helping me sort out my head :-) so thank you all.
