Yay he passed, third time lucky.
DS1's phone interview went well so hopefully he'll get a face to face next week.
Off to the cricket now to see how DS3 is doing. Flying - washing on the line and about to put DW on.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -

We had a free one courtesy of the fuel company, but we don't use it. We tried it for a while, but I found I was refusing to switch things on when I really needed them while I was in on my own, because I felt guilty if I saw any energy usage.:( It's just the sort of person I am, I suppose. There's only the two of us living here, and we don't leave things on when we're not using them, switch off at the wall and all that, so really the only purpose it would serve is to make me feel I have to sit and suffer when there's equipment I could have on and not suffer, iyswim.I am looking into an energy monitor though. Anyone have one? My gas usage is decreasing year on year but my electric is increasing.

Hi all
Happy Tuesday! This thread moves so fast I just can't keep up! I do try and read everything and if I've thanked your post I have read it and thought of you, but by the time I get to the end I've forgotten who to say what to! So congratulations and hugs to everyone who needs them... sorry I'm not more organised!
Last night I made smokey split pea soup for the next few days lunches as the weather is so autumnal... feels like winter is on the way! Sort of nice to have a break from being so hot though, I must say!

Evening!
Not long been home, phew. Just reheated some leftovers and made a cuppa. Had my manicure done on the way home. Fingernails look like jelly beans
My main job tonight will be to get the bins out and bag up some bits for the charity shop.
Then if I have any steam left - been out of the house for 12hrs - I will get the vac out and start the living room.
Need to send my mum a list of shopping, we are going back to the caravan tomorrow night. So I won't be doing a lot of flying...
Yawn.Bossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0
