D day then!
Feel like Christmas and New year were soooo long ago now!
Not much planned for today, will get at least 5 things on fleabay and if I achieve that, then I'll be happy.
Want to get out for a long walk as weather is looking better. Can't believe kids are back to School tomorrow!
Lots of activity expected tomorrow in the bank account, looking forward to january payday already! Meter reading submitted yesterday, still using old power company website even though it's not in business anymore, don't know when the DD will go out either to the new one as I had to set it back up with the old supplier..DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
