Aye lady I will. The noo.

Didn't get the other job, nothing much around at the moment and the new boss/silly girl gone makes it a lot more pleasurable, if I'm honest.

I think the main thing is that its near, its money for the kids the now. I like the work and I'm learning stuff.

In the mean time, it will do the noo.

Hope you're good.

I still don't get her!
:eek::eek::eek:

Shine the sink?

I've got a ceramic sink - it's an old farm house one...

It's clean - surely that's enough???

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I think maybe I need to K0nmarie rather than Flylady?

Pippilongstocking

We are sink mates RT!

I don't shine mine, don't tell but I do make sure its clear every night now. I don't get her either but then again I don't get cleaning......

I've not tackled the fridge yet either - one for later I think.

Worked an extra half hour today.

Refund on oil of £49.24 so I'm starting a monthly account with them. I guess I could have ordered less oil but I'd have had to pay the dearer price so its really a win win. And, I'm already ahead of myself!

Garden wages in and put money into student vampires account - draining me of all my money. (£100)

Also put money to card for fud. (£150)

Money now all gone.

Tea is reduced mince spag bog with lots of veggies in it.

Ah the season of the courgette how I miss it.

Had eggs for lunch - girls provided another three today they're not bad.

Got the wood saw out I need to tackle the recycled wood infestation that we appear to have and turn them into shiny new logs.

DH is rehearsing again tonight, playing at a wedding on Fri.

He's so rock star its unreal.

I've bought 2500 litres of oil over the last year.

c£900 = 75/month oil cost?

That seems pretty excessive when we don't have the heating on for 6 months of the year. But it does the hot water.

Sooner we get solar panels for hot water the better. Or an electric shower. Or both types of panels AND an electric shower.

We don't use it at all aside water in the summer.

I'm off for a lie down.

Thank goodness I chop my own wood.

Wood bill last year £60 one fire is on most days. And, there's no back boiler on either fire.

Someone didn't really think this through when putting in the heating systems.

Just skyped kids
Day off today. YAY

Must do a list, done dugs and hens

Might have some chums popping in
