Breaking Through, Travelling On

Glad that you are back.

Thank you beanie, I'm glad to *be* back

I've been doing an hour or so a day of the heavy gardening work - mostly snipping and bagging brambles plus increasingly intense weeding. In the house, its sorting-paperwork time: from my English accounts, French accounts, the box that got damp last month, the genealogy notes I brought back from my mum's, and the probate folder that I'm going to be working on today: my sister's coming round a bit later, we'll be going through it with a fine toothcomb and sending it off recorded.

In the meantime ... I have blue sky here :j:j:j

Beautiful blue sky here too - and the temperature is almost balmy when compared to the last week!

We noticed quite a few big %age price jumps in the supermarkets this weekend too

Hi KC - great to see you! Glad it's all gone well (trains excepted of course!)

Those prices really are sneaking up, 10p here, a penny there and 15p on a 30p bar of chocolate!!!!!

Take it easy on those intense weeding sessions. I hope the probate analysis goes smoothly.

Hi both! Thank you

MCI, thats the sort of price increase I've seen here and there - huge percentage increases on stuff that doesn't cost very much. Horrendous.

Sky is even bluer probate work is done (except for some photocopying tomorrow) so now its out to do the heavy gardening work - I do take it easy on it all, MCI, don't worry, though its appreciated that you do! Between back pain and arthritis in my fingers and shoulders, its a case of managing the effects, you're right in what you suspect!

I'm worrying about you breathing in mould spores again KC - please make sorting that box of stuff your priority indoors .

:o:o

There are miniscule amounts compared to what was here last year, I promise - but yes, it does need to happen :kisses3:

So, inside the house - I need to send the French accounts to France, which I couldn't before now because the bank was kicking its heels, and I need to send the probate paperwork off, but then, yes, I promise :kisses3: Wednesday.

Meantime, I've done lots of "gardening" - aka chopping brambles up to get rid of, pulling long grass, chopping the downed holly into lengths so that I can get it off the winter savory.

Thank you for your lovely post on my diary... found yours now where do I start! Beginning, middle or work backwards

Karmacat

You're very welcome, Bubbles, but oh dear :eek: the furthest back you should go is the top of the current page you find yourself on, next time you visit :rotfl: I blather rather a lot!

Today has been a supermarket delivery day, a "take photos of slightly mouldy documents and throw the paper away" day, and a "I'm too tired to do any more navvying in the garden" day. So I'm doing catchup stuff only today, cooking beans, telling the local cats I'm back, that sort of thing

I'm also throwing out the outdated tax records that can now be safely disposed of. They're from the year I moved to this house :eek: so there's the receipt for the laptop I'm using :eek: the receipt for the mobile phone I still have :eek: and most horrendously of all, a shareholder statement from Santander - although I had half the number of shares I do now (I signed up to their Reinvestment Scheme) the shares were worth a third more than they are now :eek: Reinvesting in the company was obviously a bad decision!

Never mind - I'll be shredding, or possibly burning, tomorrow. My brother burns confidential waste in a little incinerator - it takes less time than my tiny little shredder, I guarantee
