I feel so lucky, Skinty i hope you can see your father soon. It was so nice to have company the house is quiet now. All the jobs that needed doing in the house have been done. How do parents make everything look so easy?
Today we expected rain but it ended up being really nice so i did a towel wash, vacuum, put winter clothing in vaccuum bags. Financially i have little money of my own, there is £40 in my account but i owe that on my credit card at the v least! lol. Roll on new job and salary. I cant wait.Aiming for a minimal spend 20223 -
Years of experience, not exhausted as retired and enjoying doing things for others.
How long until your new job begins?Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2 -
Exactly 4 weeks! No lessons written yet! lol. I am spending tomorrow doing a few jobs (removing folders from spare room, potting cornflowers if it is dry for a bit), mopping and chilling then on Monday prep begins for new job.

We had rain all day today and some thunder and lightening. I tidied the spare room out in between lots of rest as it was so hot and just planted my cornflowers. All of the store room is done.
I have bought 2 summer dresses online (£31) I will have some nice dresses now for if i go out anywhere as i have been living in jeans for the whole of lockdown. I have £40 in my account and will put this towards my £190 credit card bill which will be paid off on Payday in 5 days!!!!Aiming for a minimal spend 20222 -
