    My seeds arrived from a new garden cheery recommended. Don't they look pretty.

    I'm actually clean as I got a stash of new clothes from charity shop, I was through my last jeans dear hearts so it was much needed.

    A pair jeans
    A cardi
    3 t shirts
    1 vest
    and a mini skirt
    and a book

    £21

    :)

    I'm feeling very grand.

    Need do some sorting out inside as outside is awash.

    Meal plan from freezer/fridge
    Get rid of an old freezer
    Contact roofer
    Contact other painter
    tidy up kitchen and put fire on
    Do some cooking
    indoor mowing
    bit bedding, got someone staying all week from work.
    Confirm I'm going to a meeting
    Get DS sorted with flights for his course

    Been gym/physio so I'm a bit sore, but all's good.

    And so to find that timer.

    15 minute bashes.

    Nothing planned for weekend as hoping for sunshine and gardening as the forecast has promised.

    Should also do some work on website. I seem to be all inspired.

    Right if I can keep that account in the black, I've just saved myself c£200 a year.

    Will leave the facility on for a couple months then review and see if I want to remove it and close the account.

    All the balance on the CC in that bank is 0% for 12-18 months.

    Oh my I now only have ONE OVERDRAFT £1000 active.

    Progress if slow.....

    Congrats on the black account!

    Mr Minx's manskirt and accessories cost more than my wedding dress, it was into four figures for the lot. Scary stuff.
