£12.69 to cc as per sophiesmum and her rounding up or down of bank accounts, paying extra to a card.

Moved some money into uni account. First of many I suspect.

Cancelled DD for Dubbies, the house-elf garden centre haven't managed to spend one of their coffee vouchers yet!! Can always resign when they have a decent offer.

Time to get a wriggle on. Should hear about the job today but I'm not very hopeful. And, I'm ok with that too.

Its really focused my mind thinking about how I'd like life to be.

And, moaning about things, always helps too so thank you for listening.

Tomatoes are ripening even outdoors.
Courgettes have finally started.

Garden is so slow but adequately watered in this years el nino summer of wet and windy.

Did you hear the ant-arctic polar ice-caps regrew a bit its so cold this year although they're not recovered. We even saw snow on some of the mountains over the weekend, in July that's crazy.

I have not heard one little bit of 'moaning' from you young lady! Talking things through, yes, but moaning - no!

:j For free wood and reduced bargains and teeny tiny steak pies

Fingers crossed for the job lovely lady. Hope you get a good outcome - sounds like it's made you think anyway so that can only be a good thing xxx

Remember you can keep vouchers for next year as they dont have a year on!

Hope you get the best result for you at this moment in time

Me too and I still don't know what that is. Work is still unpredictable which sometimes I quite cherish. Never a dull moment.

But we have a monthly rota now, so at least I can see where I am for a month, that's settled me a bit. And starting at 10 is much easier for me, means I get some Mse erm I mean chores done. I'd missed connecting with like-minded-folks thank you.

I'm also down for 4-5 days til mid Sept, and told I've to be 'given first choice' and off at weekends at the moment, so we'll see.

Since silly girl left, its a far more relaxed environment and I'm mainly just in charge of me and the team.

I love the new boss he keeps asking me what I think I should be doing. And we take it from there. Had a good sort out too and somehow that really makes me happy.

As they use to say OOP NORTH 'it will be what it will be'.

Indeedy. Free kindling yesterday broken up during tea break and i'm collecting cones when I'm on lunch like a regular hunter gatherer (for the fires not the winter stews, although indirectly they power them). :rotfl:

So yesterdays booty.

A huge bag of fire kindling from old wooden crates at work, done during tea break.

A bag of peas from the garden and some feral garden geraniums.

A walk of 20 mins in a glorious garden and good chat with our 'socialist' volunteer.

And, I made up 5 bouquets for bedrooms which feels oddly like my treat although I know technically its work.

NSD and home dinner of chinese dumplings and some leftover rice.

MR Me bagged 5 delish lunches out of it and whilst the oven was on, cooked up some reduced lamb shanks and sausages.

i did manage to burn (cook quite darkly) the remaining vol-u-vents from xmas DS assures me that they'll be fine.

Lunch swag done for himself and me today.

3 eggs a day at the mo, girls doing me proud.

Look to have around £60 in the bank, after paying for various bits, few DD's off at start of the month. Must add to uni funds even if its only a few quid.

Off to check banks and see if they haven't been pesky overnight.

Kettle firmly on. Enjoyed the weekend away but glad I'm at home this weekend. DS heads off for the summer to dads.

Need to collect more free wood from a chums dismantled decking.
Write a presentation for work next week in RTB land
Pick more mangetout and salad
Encourcourage courgette growth.

Wind has damaged one of the tall salvias Purple Rain, so I need to take that poor destructed branch and do soft-wood cuttings from it.

ETA but this isn't the salvia I have so I wish folks would label things properly - gads. Must find out what it is.
