I've had the worst of times - now for the BEST of times!

A quick round-up for today.

The good:

• Home-made breakfast and lunch into work
• Received a cheque for the second bit of freelance work - will lodge both cheques tomorrow. :j
• Had my first Autumn Bliss raspberries of the season (one of the plants seems to be an early bird)
• Courgettes are looking fab
• Tea made from ingredients already in the house
• Looks like the weather is going to be good on Sunday so a car boot is on the cards

The bad:

• In late to work so spent £1 on parking
• Had to fill up the car, cost over 64 quid (wince)

The ugly:

• Trampoline is still not sold.

Thanks, Jwil. I should really be ashamed of myself at what I achieve when I compare it to all you do - and with baby Jwil to take care of as well. You are an inspiration. :T

Aww thank you

I'm really rather lazy though, I could do much more if I could be bothered

Another flying visit - I am absolutely knackered these days so I am going to take myself off to bed.

The good:

• Lodged cheques for freelance work.
• Got paid just over £6 from Quidco
• Have sold a book on amazon
• Am defo doing a car boot on Sunday
• Have listed the trampoline on another couple of local sites
• Breakfast, lunch and dinner all from food already in the house

The bad:

• Bought a large container of washing powder for a large sum of money from Mr A :eek:

Night all.

Hey p&f,

Sorry to hear you're so tired - hope you had a good rest.

Also sorry to hear about the trampoline...and after you cleaned it so nicely as well

Also, hope the weather improves for the car boot! x

The really bad bit about the bad is the pile of clean laundry that will then need ironed and/or put away

Well, that's not so bad, I do that all the time. And I'm one of these very strange people that rather enjoys ironing, it's quite relaxing. I will add that I have a steam-generator iron which slides over the most crinkly creased things and makes them beautiful in a few seconds.

The most flying of flying visits today because it's late and I have to be up for the car boot.

The good:

• Two people are interested in my trampoline :j
• Amazon book despatched and postage was lower than I expected
• Massive amount of clothes and other goods ready for the car boot tomorrow
• Some of my tomatoes are seriously considering turning red
• The runner beans have reached the tops of their poles (I planted them rather late)

The bad:

• Spent a large sum of money buying tickets for an air show (but will get a lot of that back from the other people going)

Night again, will try to write in a bit more detail tomorrow and to post on all your diaries.

hope the carboot goes well

Another flying visit as I am more knackered than a very very knackered thing.

The good:

• Made over 80 quid at the car boot, even though there didn't seem to be as many people there as I would have expected.
• Sold the trampoline - it has been dismantled, paid for and ready for collection. :j
• Shifted a load of kids' clothes to a friend.
• Lots of courgettes are ready to harvest.
• Tomatoes are definitely turning red.

The bad:

• Just. So. Knackered.

Back with a proper update tomorrow when I can keep my eyes open.
