Breaking Through, Travelling On

O.5% seems generous compared with the letter I received this week informing me my new rate. It has gone down to 0.25 % !!! Luckily not much in there as I more or less emptied to clear the mortgage - but - 0.25% :eek:
Will look for a good one to start filling up when the good times roll in!

Good morning KC! - You are sounding chipper & rested this morning!

:hello: Morning! Um, afternoon now

Nice phone chat with my business partner (my skype software wouldn't update properly, stupid skype stuff ). Shattered after that, tbh, but a few minutes in the garden will revive me. One more phone call to do before that, and then I can faff about writing a blog post, which I'm really looking forward to, its buzzing in my head

rtandon27

Oh KC I know how you feel!


Had to update, Java & Flash before I could even start studying this morning!

Now *thats* fiddly, poor you, RT! Because we had to natter on the phone, at least I could sit in the armchair and relax, rather than sitting up at the desk, there's always a silver lining

Made a fair bit of difference in the garden. At the far end, there's a couple of annual weeds that have been making free with my soil. Tsk! No longer. Cut back some dratted privet hedge too, its a ridiculous plant to have in gardens this size. Not mine, either, so I can't get shut of it. Plus a few more strawberry plants, at an average density of one per square inch, consigned to history :j

Needed a little sit down after that :rotfl:

Hope everyone has a lovely Friday night. I may investigate my bottle of red, it could do with using up

Have a great trip tomorrow, RT

OH has deemed we have some of that needing exactly that treatment!

Have a great weekend. It's going to be a chilly one. I hope you had the beautiful blue sky today.

Best wishes Tilly x x

Morning! The skies weren't bad yesterday, thanks Tilly, but they're definitely a uniform grey today when they can be seen through the lashing branches of my buddleia, that is - I'd cut a fair few branches, but the ones that are left are bending through 90 degrees in this wind, I'm not kidding :eek: and as for the row of 25 feet high laurels at the end of the garden :eek: I'm almost scared to look!

I'm just waiting for my sis to arrive, and after she goes and the weather calms a bit, I'll be out there with my saw again, this is a little bit much.

Otherwise, all's well and the worst trauma I face is that my tea has gone cold, and I had to pop to the kitchen to reheat it in the microwave it's a hard life

My friend's nan got banned from the wrestling where we lived as she attacked the baddie with her umbrella :rotfl:.

My nan was a bit like that too! :rotfl:


Hope you're having a nice afternoon, KC. The weather turned out to be quite pleasant in the end

Hi Goldie, yes, I had a good afternoon ta muchly. Excellent natter with sister, setting the whole family to rights and then since I wasn't *physically* tired, I took some time in the garden as I'd hoped - a bit of cutting back stupid ivy too close to my house from next door's, but mostly continuing to work on the tiny little front border. In the last 2 days, 2 full bin bags have found their way off that border, which must make it nearly a dozen now :eek: .... creeping conifer that spread both outwards and upwards, plus a few adolescent trees. I wish I was kidding about that, but I'm not :eek:

I'm here for at least another couple of years, and I *do* want have the plants that I like and want and find useful and pleasurable.
