Hee hee - just finished proof reading DS LAST assignment. Very exciting. I must also it seems use comma's more often.

Must make some tea

OH & I hatching plans that might disturb the not-so-worldly (but lovely neighbours) after reading about all-togetherness and defibrulators:rotfl::rotfl:

They already don't understand why our ground floor has no curtains! Other than them our only neighbours are sheep! ( And they would actually have to stand in the sheep field to see in our house! )

Did you actually get full priced bday cheese pips? Serious cheese envy here!!!

Don't forget tomorrow is Naked Gardening Day!!!!!

Not sure why or WHY??? But it's being advertised on FB so must be true

Tad breexy here today Star for nakedgardenness.

And same here RT you'd have to stand in the garden to see us in the house as the main 'on the street' rooms are not used most days, well aside the living room and it has a blind permanently down. And we've only 27 houses in our 'hamlet' so not a lot of street traffic.

Doing some flylady as the kitchen is a muddle.



man its breezy out. Waves hello.

Managed to swerve a takeaway last night by having a fakeaway ready to go.

Small things and all that.

Ooo lovely - a fakeaway - do tell!!!

We avoided takeaway as well - had Icelandic style frankfurters on the bbq! (We did however have to buy some yellow sticker cheese that wanted to come home with us so cheese drawer in freezer has been topped up! )

Hey RT we had some prawns with some reduced stir fry (25p) and some reduced noodles with schezwan sauce which a pal gave me a huge bottle of. Now, I'm not that keen on the sauce but given its the size of a double mayo jar I think I should portion it up and freeze it. We hardly used any.

Todays gone good - nice good clean of the kitchen and a trip out for lunch (himself treated, late birthday splurge) Japanese. YUM.

Combined trip and popped into music shop (guitar string), dumpling shop (erm a good quantity of dumplings fell into a cold box, 9 diff kinds but they'll do lots of snacky teas) and to drop off a birthday card to a chum.

Saw sign for free wood on the way home and snagged two ikea bags of free already chopped up wood. Result. Was lots more there but only two bags and didn't want be greedy.

Snackage later will be dumplings. And as I blew half of the weeklly food shop on it (£25) lets limit the spends this week to zero if we can. Have most things we need in.

Probably a movie later. Its very blustery here. Proper stormy weather.

Yum and glad the cheese drawer is looking healthier - mines is looking very lush with a combo of Orkney and French cheese in there.

Wages are in £505 - and cleared woo hoo.
No garden wages in (£250), which are weekly and she's usually quick although I know she's doing the vat and the end of year stuff. Maybe Monday.....


Will put most of that to the CC to pay for holiday (or some of it) my main spends were dealt with beforehand but I did buy a lift pass and some food, no treats though aside those. OH paid for any eating out, as he's a star.

£200 sent to the girl child for this months UNI
£200 in savings for the boychild, who finishes this month so we'll see what he might need now. He's handed his notice in and will come home for a bit to regroup and fathom a plan.

That should save him some money.
