    Grins at the first one - Haven't been to court for bad behaviour in a while.......;) I put this down to my ace running skills :)

    Fish was the main courses at w'ur place. Tell me of this other place you speak of (the one that doesn't make you boak)

    :D

    Ah, that's what got me - I'm going to have my sacroiliac joint crunched back into place tomorrow, so I'll be quicker off the mark next time ;)

    The other one is the Upper Deck, the restaurant over the Ferry Inn. Menu here if you want to have a quick dribble: http://www.upperdeckscrabster.co.uk/menu.asp

    Hey up Karma :) the money's just cleared so maybe it helped? :D

    Lobs a pancake.

    I need a lie down - just put £705.58 to cc's.

    Lets just say the coffers are a bit empty now that they've cleared but whilst I was asleep I did have some wages.

    Money paid was expense money
    Cancelled dd's
    Wine money
    and the balance of 5.58 just to tidy me account :D

    Richt = I need a boot up the derrier.

    Need a list

    Done banks
    Paid CC's
    Hung up bedding
    Had pancakes :D more later :D
    Had a bath
    Walked mutts here
    Phoned about car which has a comedy fix, but as it didn't involve a new clutch I'm a bit embarrassed but happy. :D £10.50 :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    To do
    [STRIKE]Tidy up room upstairs and get rid some bags[/STRIKE] and texted DS to see if he needs his Sixth year folders......:D
    [STRIKE]Make a shepherds pie for tomorrow[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Take out fish for tonight[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Soup for lunch
    Tidy up more books (yes more books)
    Another load of washing[/STRIKE]
    Box up summer clothes for Mr RG's house
    Finish a job application after I talk to a mentor about it - great job hourly rate is not good (ie almost half of what I'm on now) so have to talk to mainland garden guru and see if its a step in a good direction to consider too.
    [STRIKE]Tidy up[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Fill up log baskets[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Bathrooms to sort[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Floors to sweep[/STRIKE]/mow - its raining so no indoor mowing for me and that's my excuse:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    [STRIKE]Car to collect[/STRIKE]
    DD insurance on said car to sort (EEK)

    Well that's a start huh?

    Also need to think about how much I need for monthly spends outwith grub/dd's and petrol (I don't have a scooby) but cheery's post made me think about it.

    I have a sum of money left in bank which is to cover dd's petrol and grub and obviously treats.

    Any thoughts most welcomed........


    Do I restart a 'me' budget? Then I might be able to see what else I can put to the cards but right now I've left an overly generous (by my standards :D) amount in the current account to see how I get on whilst actually a bit of that might be able to go to the card?

    Ponders whilst cracking on with something, its nearly twelve and thus far a pancake and a bath is all I've actually acheived.

    Shakes head, that just won't do!

    Thank you for the idea! I'd forgotten it was out just reading your diary reminded me I wanted to get a copy.

    :D

    Today I'm mostly procrastinating.......so I'd best do a 15 minute stint - now where's the piggy timer. (That always worked with the kids)

    15 minutes on the timer is great, isn't it :)

    Paying more off the cc right now .... hmmm, because your outgoings are a bit up and down, and your circumstances are full of about-to-happen changes, Pippi, I think you've done the right thing in holding back a bit of dosh so far. When's the "must be paid by" date? Sounds like its a while yet ...

    And as for procrastinating, sometimes I do it because I feel like it :) but sometimes I do it because I've done too much and I need a break :)
