BookWorm's MFW Chapter

Sounds like you've had a lovely and productive weekend BW. I'm very jealous of your tea - it sounds lush. I'm pleased to hear that you took a day off to have some 'you' time, hopefully it made the rest of the week a bit easier. No tips on the hairdresser I'm afraid, mine moved and I followed her (not in a stalkerish way :rotfl:).

Hope you enjoy the rest of your evening.

:j for the weekend!!

Goodness it seems to have been a loooong week. Work has been mad and I've been too worn out to spend time online in the evenings. Must rectify that I'm counting the days til the Easter break - looking forward to a lovely long weekend

Still no OP's here as waiting for re-mortgage to go through. The online tracker with the conveyancer shows that we are 8/12 tasks completed - so it's moving.

Also no news on the car yet. I feel like it's a month of waiting and that's definitely testing my patience... as that's not my strong point!

I've claimed a £15 survey payment today. The rewards site has changed so couldn't get usual option...so decided on a retailer that sells clothes/home/food so I can at least get best use of the vouchers.

Need to get more :coffee: and have a catch up on some diairies

I've had a phonecall this afternoon about the car. I sign registration paperwork on Monday and can pick it up on Friday :T

Been a productive afternoon on the money/admin front:

• SO for regular OP to current mortgage cancelled (will be reinstated to new provider once moved)
• Energy tariff changed so saving at least £12 per month (will possibly be more)
• Paperwork found for current service plan in readiness for cancellation next week

Also popped out for a mooch round the local garden centre. The weather was lovely and there was a farmers market on site too. Had a lovely wander round sampling various food and drinks. Purchased a couple of the tastier ones to bring home

Great news about the car.re: hairdresser, ask friends for recommendations. I have tried a few over last 3 or 4 years and have finally found a brilliant one!

Thanks Cath

Re: hairdressers. I have tried asking around but I find that people either don't use them, use ones that are local to them (and so too far from me) or go to uber expensive places. It will be a mini project of mine for a while yet me thinks

Good Morning

Kept having dreams about cars last night... no idea why... :rotfl:

Lovely sunny day here again. I should be getting on with some house jobs but I'm quite content sitting in my office reading diairies and soaking up some warmth from the sun pouring through the window :cool:

Congrats on the car! I've only bought a brand new car once, but it is very nice having everything shiny and new.

After getting my chores done, I went out for a drive in the countryside. Went to find a little market town that I learnt about this week and had never heard of before. Gave me somewhere to aim for and once I arrived, I had a stroll up and down the high street and a lovely coffee and cake in a tearoom there. Really very pleasant way to spend a few hours The weather has felt very spring like indeed - hope it lasts - but I suspect it won't.

That's the thing I love most about having a car- being able to pop off anywhere and discover lovely new places! Sounds like you had a lovely day
