Indeedy doody. :j I hope you are well Skint Again. ( I never call you Skint Yet Again, I must remember!!!)
I paid £40 for the bookshelves yesterday using my Christmas fund and then £70 for delivery and fitting yesterday and today (again using this months Christmas Fund and Fleabay sales). :eek: Luckily I have no plans to have anything more done for a loooooong time.
He is still fitting it now. Working hard. yay.
I am officially poor. There is only £30 in xmas fund but it is an investment in the house and it will make my garage look pretty.
I am living off baked beans for the rest of the month though. lol. :rotfl:Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

I think Skinty sounds rude. Skint yet Again sounds much better I am getting the hang of it now.lol.
I just had the nicest feedback on my lesson. I love the people I work with. They keep saying thank you but they are paying me to be off sick and I should do something ya know?
The bookcases have been attached and I got a lift to the supermarket where I did a food shop for £30. I also spent £4 on a taxi to get back.
Plan for tomorrow is to finish lesson, clear clutter back onto shelves and meet one of my friends who is coming over.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

Yes the boys are visiting on Saturday and I would like to have done most of it by then. The bookcases look great. I just want it to be nice for when my parents come.
I hope you have had a good day.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
1)[STRIKE]Do washing up
2) dry clothes outside
[/STRIKE]3)[STRIKE] sort garage part 1[/STRIKE]
I have vacuumed in garage and filled the bookshelves with all my products. Things have been moved round to look tidier and accessible.
Tomorrow I am going to ask the boys to be ruthless and throw out anything that isn't needed or give to 3Dogs' charity shop next Friday when Susan comes for Clean Garage part 2.
I cannot wait till it is completely tidy. I hope I am not one of those serial killers like in Criminal Minds they always have tidy garages. :rotfl::rotfl:Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -
