    If it is any consolation I truly loathe my garden.
    Dead trees, weeds & falling down fonce.
    I kid you not.

    Oh beanie, what a shame - if I had age-appropriate energy, mine would be doable, as its just a small suburban thing, and I'd have kept pruning the laurel regularly enough that it'd never have got to the height it is. But thats life, thats the way it went.

    Is yours nice to sit out in, at least? I must get some ant killer on the patio, and then mine will be nice :) there's shade and dappled sunshine :)

    Right, I've got that guy's phone number, but I have 3 hours work today, and quite a bit of preparation before I'm ready.

    Finance wise, found a Boots till spit in my accounts for "treats for the over 60s" :eek: including 25% off glasses :eek: which I still don't wear :D but they do seem to increase the number of points per expenditure (on Boots branded products, which is what I buy from them), so I'm going to apply for one :D

    Plus boring adminny things.

    Week 9 in the countdown :j:j:j

    Mr Goldie has the over 60's Boots card, but we rarely go in Boots these days.

    We both have about £20 worth of points on our cards. I'm saving mine until I need new makeup (which, as I rarely wear make up, may not happen soon)

    Mr Godie recently tried to spend his points on razor blades, but they didn't have his brand in stock. But he'll try again next time

    The countdown is in single figures:T:j. It's within touching distance.

    9 Weeks. Wow ... its so soon now
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
  • Single figures, so close :T

    Single figures is good, isn't it :j:j:j

    Not sure how interesting it is - though its *definitely* interesting in the sense of the Chinese curse :D Pension funds have dipped a wee bit, of course.

    And guess what - I cooked raw food today :rotfl: half a dozen rhubarb sticks from the garden, and some onions that had sprouted in the fridge :p

    Very glad today's over, it was loooong, certainly the longest day of week 9.
