Cheery's buttling diary: tea in one hand, plant pot in the other, running shoes on

I don't know why it does that, it's most vexing, makes me look like a right twit! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

We'll just have the dog for a couple of hours but i'm still most excited Love that pesky little fiend :j :j

And of course I get to visit another couple of pesky hounds tomorrow too :j :j

:j:j:j I envy you the doggies! Pat them for me :T:T:T

Cheery_Daff

Shall do :j

Today's furry pal didn't recognise me when I went in! :eek: Out of context I suppose, and I've not seen him for a wee while, but he was growling and cowering away from me as I entered (big wimp - not much of a guard dog!!). Once I got him outside though he recognised Mr Cheery in the street and was all tail wagging and cheerfulness

So, finally home from meeting with a picnic for the train :j Leaving things to chance and not bothering to pack until the morning... :eek:

(remind me of that in the morning when I'm regretting it :rotfl: )

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: as long as you're not going trekking in Nepal, I'm sure you'll manage. I bet you've *been* trekking somewhere, haven't you! I must do a mini-trek somewhere.

Enjoy the train too! I like trains



ETA oh! a train is a bit too normal for you to enjoy, isn't it! Enjoy the arrival, then

Cheery_Daff

Well this first leg is my exact journey to work so i'm not too excited about it :rotfl: Must remember to get on the next train and not go to the office!! :rotfl:

Surpassed myself this morning - walked past library and remembered my books were due back tomorrow so actually went in and renewed them - no fines for once! :applause:

MP3 player loaded with radio 4 podcasts and i'm knitting a new pair of socks :applause: sun is shining and i do love a train (even the train to work! it's still got some good scenery!) so happy happy happy :j

Planning to get a cup of tea at York - doesn't get any more exciting than this! :j :j

Cheery_Daff

Well, what a lovely weekend! :j :j :j cheerful chums cheerful furry pals, food and tea and beaches and chickens and all round relaxing :j :j utterly, utterly lovely :j :jhhhhswon emoh

Cheery_Daff

Yawn :rotfl: :rotfl:

Home now and Mr Cheery has been clearing out the cellar :eek: Still plenty to go mind you :eek: but another 2 car loads have gone to the tip :eek:

Also found 2 boxes of my degree notes down there - i thoughht i'd chucked them years ago and had been regretting it ever since :rotfl: However, having been through them and reminisced about how organised I was back then (and studious and diligent), I have decided to just keep marked essays and course outlines, so I can see what I covered. 2 boxes of stuff in the recycling tonight! :j

Also bizarrely found entire folder full of someone else's degree notes that neither of us recognised :rotfl: sussed it now - mr cheery thinks they were inside aj: oot nib eht ni enog ev'yeht erom yna hcuot ni ton er'ew dna ti denoitnem reven ev'yeht sa tub oga sraey 21 enoemos rof derots eh k urt

Oh for goodness sake!! :mad: HOW does it even do that?!

I'm not typing that on my phone again - if you want to know what i said it's all there, BACKWARDS, so when it stops making sense just start again from the end :rotfl: (except the first two words should read 'a trunk') :rotfl: :rotfl:

Right, best go and lug all this paper to the recycling bin! :j

Cheery_Daff

Evening cheerful chums :hello:

I swear there was a post by KC from last night (or this morning) laughing at my phone shennanigans but now it's gone! :rotfl: There's mischief afoot it appears... Very mysterious...

Anyway, just done some epic internet banking and YNAB fiddling :money:

It seems I managed to account for everything other than a stray £3.65 while away over the weekend, and I imagine that was spent on cake :rotfl: So no harm done

I'd forgotten we'd get a bit of interest on our emergency savings accout :j :j A grand total of £5.75 across two accounts :money: Not to be sniffed at! Transferred straight to the ISA already :j

And I must pop online to the ISA and see how much interest we got on there... should be quite a bit more - there's more in there, and the interest rate is higher...

In fact, I'll go and do that now

Cheery_Daff

Hmm - it seems we were paid £2.80 interest at the end of 2014, which was only about 2 months after opening the account, and nothing since then. I was thinking ISAs paid interest at the end of the tax year, but maybe this lot do it at the end of the normal year?

Ahhhh - just found their terms and conditions (which I did read before I opened the account, honest! :rotfl: ) - interest is calculated daily and paid on 1st January and 1st July. So July's should be a nice bit bigger than £2.80 hopefully! :j :j

(still won't be able to retire on the interest, mind you :rotfl: )

Decluttering and sorting is continuing apace here :j :j Mr Cheery on the case sorting everything into little plastic labelled tubs My degree notes went out with the recycling men this morning *sob* and Mr Cheery has done another trip to the tip with stuff from the cellar :j

Not sure what I'll do next - possibly a start on the attic paperwork? :eek: Or I've got a bag of clothes ready to go to charity shop on Friday - maybe I'll add a bag of books to it? :j
