DS is away. Went out for a bit to get head straight as long as I've been doing this, its still difficult.

But, I know he'll have fun.

Scored a free pallet yesterday on the 'reduced run' and some reduced fruit. Spent £5.94

Went and collected wooden deck (with permission) we broke down in June. Car is LOADED with free ready to chop wood.

So that's a good wood profit.

Shopping £18.54

Petrol £25 and some reduced 9p milk.

3 eggs and a mountain of mangetouts from the garden.

need to walk the dogs and do a bit of a ppt for a meeting next week for womble land.

Must write invoice.

Lamb shanks are in the oven, reduced I can't remember when.

Must empty the car!!

Load of washing done. Air dried. In between the downpours.

Weird letter at the flat today from an old insurance company we used (>25 years ago) asking me to get in touch. Curious. why would they want that, can't really remember what policy we even had. How crazy is that.

Weather is pants here. It's that stupid drizzle-y rain that is no good for anything

Ooh that is strange about your old insurance company. Maybe you overpaid and you've got 25yrs worth of interest on top and they want to make you rich :rotfl: we can only hope.

Sorry to hear DS has left for the summer. Try to make the most of it. I know you will.

Ooh India sounds lovely. Best start collecting the pennies How big is TRG's suitcase? Would I fit?

...DH is off to India in a while for work and there's a chance if I can afford a flight I can hide in his suitcase. Its hear the foothills of some big mountains, so I'm going to do some sums and see if I can stretch to it...

WOW oh just wow:T:T:T

This is the very reason that streching pennies is so worthwhile - go for it Pips! (my OH even dare suggested that this is what credit cards are for?!? - heathen - I'll yet bring him over to the dark side!)

...or maybe, just maybe it will be enough to cover the flight to that magical place in the foothills of some rather large mountains???:D:D:D

Also had a flat viewing today :j

Paid so put £50 in each of the kids uni accounts on my instant saver.

Paid the balance of my dross to CC 7.28

Paid 100 into the card I use for fuel.

Starnac and RT and Mr RT - if the flights are reasonable, I think I might just go and see about paying myself back out of future wages or out of the kids uni fund.

SHHH don't say.

And walked 6.4 miles at work.

beanielou

Yah for flat viewing :j

What I do need is a passport which isn't 167 days until it runs out. EEK.

Online passport renewal now done, I'm now £72.50 poorer.

Thanks Beanie - positive view with plenty floor space, they were impressed by the size of the flat. Not sold their own place yet and seeing more flats today, so we'll see.

Hopefully its the start of something positive.

starnac

Fingers crossed for the flat viewing.

Mr RT's words were "go for it girl - don't pass up the opportunity!"

:rotfl::D:rotfl::D

think I might have to have a word with the man about being impetuous!
