    Its the first day of real january life.

    We're skint oh so skint

    We've food to eek out probably too far

    And a holiday at the end of the month.

    The flat is still not rented out, due to dodgy plumbing and a few hiccups.

    The new house got rather rudely 'rebanded' so a couple of adjusted large council tax bills have landed and been spread over the next three months.

    So its going to be tight.

    And, worst of all. I've not even started to plant my garlic, start my shallots or onions or my chillis.

    Standards, somewhere in my socks.

    :eek:

    Time for some planning.

    Time for a plan.
    Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
    Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:
    minus 112.06 = £7755.32:money:
    :money:Sleeves up folks.:money:

    My plan is as yet unformed.

    I think I lost my list gene over the holibubs

    But, I did do two hours work and caught the escaped dog several times.

    I'm fathoming how the hell he can jump over such a high wall or if I have a secret worm hole to my neighbours garden.

    He's like the flash.

    Hens scoffing madly and roaming about.

    Eggs zero.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: Tempting, but no thanks :D Little scamp :D (I suspect you may have called him other names whilst running through the neighbour's garden in your nightie!) :D

    Lovely to have you back :j :j

    (and selfishly I'm glad you haven't even planted garlic yet - makes me feel better for not having done mine yet! :o :rotfl: )

    Me! Mr Mooo won't let me get a dog because our cat has a heart problem and he thinks getting a dog might kill it. I disagree.

    Still, no pooch for me.

    YET...

    My first things will be starting onions/garlic and shallots off in trays Cheery as soon as of course i get a pesky report out of the way.

    :)

    This mutt has been over the wall and up and down the blinking village more times than I'd really think its healthy for him.

    he's going to bed (with supper) and until I can build a structure ON TOP of the wall, I think he can't be out there or needs a chain.

    He of course bites through all sorts of stringy stuff seemingly it tastes good.

    :)

    Mooomin darnabit.

    No tea plan how bad am I aside I know its already in the house.

    Half a tree chainsawed down though so that's something positive and all the birdie fillers filled up.
