hey up lasses I've been oot chopping logs and doing lots of resting things like wee midge said (nice name).

RT hows the cheese stashes I've just frozen the last of the xmas stuff that will not last when we're away on holibubs. How's mr RT sorry I missed you been intermittently online/offline.



Lostinrates - lovely to see you. We're slowly getting use to each other, ours is wood, does no central heating (a real loss in my mind on the installers front). We use it to heat a large kitchen and its perfect for that but see the statement above, wish they'd done something with the heating too. How is yours are you just getting it installed? So really I'm no use!



Sorry.

Starnac how was your trip away?

KC my individual and group work seems to be helping me, although those around me, seem to be suffering from my lack of patience with life! I hope your lurgy has left the building.

A hello to all, my heads not in my budget this month, but the spends haven't been bad either. Feburary I must get my head in this.

No word on the ironing job cv, i must ring her again.

I have a wee chat with a local garden owner this Thursday.

Its a start.

£20.97 added in for shopping over the past week. Mainly fruit but some household bits in there too.

I need petrol again. Sigh.

£25 in at the weekend and its all used up.

DH did use the car for work (70 round trip) but as he did a few things for me I can hardly grumble.

Aside petrol today for my session, a no spend day. Although sent DD £36 for a course she wanted to start in the evenings.



Windy walk on the beach. FOC.

Hi Pippi. So lovely to hear from you. Trip was amazing! Absolutely fantastic. Problem is DD wants to know when are going again! :eek: erm..it took me a year of extra shifts to pay for this one!!! Ah well! Shows she had a nice time. It was ffffffffreezing there though! So so cold! In all the pictures I look quite chunky, which upset me a bit until I had a word with myself and realised that actually I was wearing so many clothes under my coat it's no wonder I look chunky! I should in fact be grateful I don't look bigger :rotfl:

:rotfl: at you all bundled up in all your layers Starnac

Pippi! :wave: Good going on the car insurance discount there :j :j I managed to save £80 from my mum's when I was over there a couple of weeks ago :money: Ours is due Feb and last year was £268 - GOT to be able to get it cheaper than that surely!

Good luck with ironing. I think even if I sent my entire CV they wouldn't have me - I have no ironing experience at all :rotfl:

I recently relocated the ironing board and iron upstairs in the attic to my sewing room as that's the only time I use it! :rotfl:

Sorry.

Thanks , no need to be sorry.

We've yet to make final decision though my husband reaaaaaaally likes it. Ours wouldn't have a boiler on it either, but similarly would be in a large kitchen.
