Spent loads of time outside the last few days. Pottered around the garden planting out the pumpkins, runner beans and tomatoes. Plants in the greenhouse have gone crazy with the heat so staked the ones that needed it.Went for a wander around our new area as well and found some community allotments. Spent some time talking to a lady there who kindly explained how they worked. They have a communal polytunnel, communal tool shed and water supply. £10 a year.. so I contacted them when I got home and put my name down on the list. I’m guessing it won’t come to fruition until next year.Reached payout on Shoppix so £5 requested.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Hopefully not KC. It’s a fairly small waiting list I’m told. But at least I’m on it!DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)

Some progress on house move this week in that mortgage was approved though at the moment we are just moving the current balance and deal across. Who knows why that takes two hours of awkward zoom calls with the mortgage person.Snaffled another £5 from i-Say and £25 1poll payment and £25 premium bonds wins hit the account so money earned up to £280.57.The money seems to be running out faster than the month at the mo so it’ll be a tight end to June.Kids have been great with everything lately so taking them out for a treat today. The irony of that statement and the one above is not lost on me. But they deserve a treat for being such awesome humans.Hoping to potter in the garden later. Need to stake my cucumbers and move the tomato plants around a bit.Enjoy the sunshiney weather wherever you are.DFW (08/08) £64,346.53 Gone (02/19)
