Good luck. Hope it all works out.

Susan treated us all to a meal at Zizzis, it was so nice to go out after work. I forget it's what normal people do. The boys bought me a contract for the lodger when they move in and did some extra photocopies, saving me lots of money.

Someone is coming at 6.00ish today to view the room. I hope it goes ok as I am poor. Susan will be at the boys house so I will tidy like crazy and hope for the best. Someone might be coming in the afternoon but they haven't really told me much so I dont think they are genuine.

I have a hospital appointment today too. It was so windy yesterday my washing line broke whilst I was at work, luckily Susan rescued the clothes. I need to get a new one while the weather is good and make the most of it. Money spent yesterday was 40p on hot water for tea, I take my own tea bags now to save money.

How lovely of your friend SW. I really like zizzis and they do lots of deals and vouchers


I hope the room viewing and hospital appointment went well. Good on the boys bring you a contract for the lodger !


Have you thought about taking a flask of hot water for your tea or is it more of a social thing in a caf! style canteen ?

savingwannabe

Hello I think I do it for socials really. I think I can get away with spending about a pound a week on teas at work or maybe two pounds max.

Work has been manic this week. Luckily Steve, Andy and Susan had the week off and we met up three times to eat out. Paid for by Susan's vouchers. I felt like I was on a cruise!!!!

Susan left yesterday and my niece comes tomorrow. I should be meeting my lodger to be to sign contracts on Monday night. So far he seems nice i will be so grateful for the money.

It might end up being like Rising Damp- one of my all time favourite programmes. I am Mrs Jones. Wonder if i can get away with calling him Rigsby on this thread?????

Note to everyone do not cancel your British Gas Home cover ever, ever EVER as when you do you are guaranteed to get a problem. Guess who's boiler is now playing up? I will try to get it fixed before lodger moves in.

Well done on getting a lodger, hope he turns out to be fab and maybe even a Corgi registered gas man!! so he can fix your boiler

savingwannabe

I was just so relieved he wasn't a serial killer I forgot to ask specific questions about his job. He works in the NHS I think.

I am glad you have found a nice lodger. Sorry to hear about the boiler, they go at the most inconvenient times don't they. I hope you can get it sorted and it doesn't cost too much.

Well it is coming on but not straight away. I think i am slowly figuring the timer out. It is an old boiler now and the only thing i didn't change when i moved in.

I had a weird dream linked i think to a phonecall i had with my property developer friend. I dreamt i was in a big meeting at work and i got so fed up with the people in my team i tipped Susan's glass of water all over them. (it's only a pint glass but there was enough to soak all the unpleasant people) then i walked out of work and was going to a job agency (which was in a street in Northampton) and stopped off to buy some peas to be healthy (from a shop in Birmingham). Then i went to another shop and bought some more peas. Then I realised I was losing my marbles as who buys two packets of fresh peas? so i had to get a refund.

Luckily Steve rang and I woke up. OMG i wonder what it means????? Steve says i will have wind as I'm going to be cooking lots of peas. lol. I think it's a tip not to quit but to keep looking for opportunities.

I washed nieces bedclothes yesterday and had to machine dry them as my niece was only here for 24 hours. I'm washing my bedclothes and tablecloth today and will try to line dry today.

I would like to cook a curry today and mop the floors. I am going to be meeting Rigsby in the evening after work on Monday and we will talk through the contract. I have to ask him for references too and find out how much he will pay as a security deposit. I also have to find out a bit more about him as i am not sure of his personal and financial circumstances. I just want a lodger who has money and no hassle. Please let it be ok.

savingwannabe

Oh dear, poor Rigsby he hasn't been able to come as he has had to travel to his home town as there has been a death in the family. Poor things. He will pop back this week.

I rung British Gas and they are sending an engineer round tomorrow afternoon to check my boiler as I twiddled some knobs and although the water is lovely the central heating wont work at all now.

I have tomorrow off work. Time to catch up, iron, mow grass etc

Skint_yet_Again

Very strange dream SW, I couldn't resist googling the meaning of peas and it seems to be a good sign that you will have good health and financial wellbeing for many years.


Enjoy your day off !
