    Must plug have put wash on and done a five min tidy of living room.

    :-) I squished the bathroom but haven't swiped it yet.

    Must startdaily missions again but fear first must tackle spare room carnage.

    Wow!! I'm googly eyed from catching up on this diary. *note to self - do not leave it so long next time*

    You have been busy Pips. Good for bank balance I hope but I do hope it calms down a bit for you soon.

    Def a good idea to get your wesbite back up and running again (when snowdrops have calmed down obviously)

    Hope your knee isn't too serious x

    Hey hope you're all good bit of a later start today but all good.

    Got the hosp later and then work. So the whole day won't be wasted.

    Oil is ordered and used the tank account saved online with a wee top of £80 to get us 1000 litres.

    Bagged some reduced veg last night 8p for a bag of mixed neep and carrot so that's the start of next weeks soup sorted.

    Not much else to report I'm afraid. Will prob need petrol today later.

    :)

    Oh my mothersday 'flowers' arrived 1kg of seed tatties from DS.

    Well he did ask what I'd like :)

    Love your idea of a good bouquet!!! :j:j:j

    8p bags of veg?!? - you lucky girl!

    Bargains round my way are few & far between - The only bargain we have found of late is some carvery ham at 19p / 100g - bought all that was left - just under 500g of it. - It is chunked and in the freezer ready for omlette Sundays (well whatever is left after we noshed on some of it :rotfl:)
    4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!! (24 OCT 2016)
    (With heartfelt thanks to those who have gone before us & their indubitable generosity.)
    ...and now I have a mortgage! (23 AUG 2021)
    New projection - 14 YEARS 8 MONTHS LEFT OF 20 YEARS (reduced by 16 mths)
    Psst...I may have started a diary!

    Made me laugh too :)

    Off (ish) today no snowdrops anyway. Kitchen had a fly-lady attack, must do a once over in other rooms.

    Wages in but not cleared don't you love cheque technology!

    :)

    Boiler decided to be a pest and had an engineer out this am - we at least now have hot water and heat.

    First shower in days and yes getting washed in a basin becomes dull rather quickly.

    Soup on the stove with the 8p veg, happy noshing RT. Must portion up and freeze the soup and think about my lunches too.

    Reduced leg of lamb in the oven MIL for tea and a sleepover - so yes I really do need to clean that bedroom. And, perhaps some indoor mowing.

    :) hope all of your worlds are good today.

    Contemplating an online shop but not sure I have the energy
