Three choices in life; Give up, Give in or Give all you've got!!

Evening all from a very happy Lucky, who has thoroughly enjoyed clock watching all afternoon, knowing I would have been at work but wasn't :rotfl:.

Gorgeous weather here again, so have spent the day in the garden which is now looking lovely. Apart from a car trip to the tip, and walking the dog, we haven't actually been anywhere, so a NSD has been had :T.

More toys decluttered to neighbour's nephew . Dining room now looking a lot clearer, which has been my aim in trying to get it ready to paint. It just needs a freshen up, particularly after DH decided to cover up some marks on the wall the last time we were painting elsewhere in the house, and he had some left on the brush. Shame the paint was white, and the walls were magnolia :mad::rotfl:.

6 years tomorrow since DH's accident :eek:. Honestly can't believe it's been that long Xx

Florida pot is growing fast. Well done.

Do you use prolific academic for extra pennies? It pays out quite generously for your time.

I normally get screened out by them Pooh, and thinking about it now, it's been ages since I've had an invite from them. Will log in and see what's happening. I do use Valued Opinions, YouGov and GlobalTestMarket too Xx

Hi PLMBL.

Well done on getting rid of some clutter ready for painting. That's my job in the summer hols to paint the living room and dining room, just magnolia as we have a load of it in the garage.

Are you going to the graduation Beanie? Xx

Quick update. Another £30 into Florida pot. £20 from eBay sales that ended yesterday, and £10 from earnings of my new 123Lite account after the £1 fee. Didn't quite hit my £500 target for the boys going back to school today, but not far off at £473.

beanielou

Yes,graduation for me.
Frock at ready

How exciting Beanie! Love a Graduation! All dolled up in the daytime, strawberries and cream, shortbread and wine. Delish . Oh, and the actual graduation part is good too :rotfl:. You will be very proud Xx


Mixed start to the week. DH is getting on my nerves a bit. In my opinion he is being quite selfish at the minute, and he's very angry in everyone's opinion .

No money made, but won the raffle at chub club yesterday which was a £10 fruit and veg hamper, so money saved in that respect. I only lost half a pound but DH lost 5lbs :eek:.

Boys have settled back in to school routine after half term, but DS1 is off tomorrow as his school is being used as a Polling Station. Not looking forward to DS2 realising he has to go to school when his brother doesn't!! I expect plenty of whinging .

Weather was absolutely dire yesterday and I succumbed to putting the heating on to dry things I'd washed the night before but couldn't hang out. Devastated to be paying for heating in June though!! It brightened up this afternoon so got more washing done and pegged out. Due to rain again tomorrow though .

Agree with the weather being dire at the minute, I've lit the woodburner the tonight and last night as the house felt damp and cold, truly ridiculous in June.

Well done on winning the hamper and the weight loss!
