    Well done on that steamer I bought one after one of the MSE emails it lasts about 10min before it needs charging a real pain so not used it much.

    Deducted £60 from mortgage savings forgot to take out food shop cash yesterday, thought I had more money than I should have, cant think straight with all this heat (that's my excuse anyway). Kept the shopping down to a very respectable £40 today for once, will need the other £20 to cover petrol etc next week.
    Hot and sticky humid day..............would love a good thunder storm..................my poor mollymoo doesn't know what to do with herself, she keeps wandering around under the coffee table, behind the sofa, if she does manage to find anywhere remotely cool I think I might join her "then put ear plugs in" Lol......OH is diving me mad and not for the usual reason.....constantly complaining about the job he has taken on at the moment....customers keep changing their minds, then adding extra works, and I can understand this getting on his nerves but after being told the 20th time I want to scream my head off. I wouldn't mind but when I do give him advice he pretends to listen then repeats the whole situation over again...."bang head and brick wall comes to mind".....Arhggggggggggg That's Better :eek:.

    Thanks guys had a lovely day out Xx
    OH also on his best behavior..............even better OH is having night out tonight ....I know I shouldn't be so happy about it but will be nice to relax with DS and mollymoo and enjoy the evening without the worry of OH usual problem.
    Day off tomorrow, so nice day out with DS planned...........not sure were as-long as it involves a nice scenic ride through the countryside, will make a few sandwiches and take some drinks....try to save a few penny's.
    Savings interest on one of my ISA is due this week 28th I think....got £210 last year so should be the same amount again.... so excited at getting almost to the 70% mark 30% remaining to pay off my mortgage....been a very tough hard 11 year slog but hoping another 3 years should do it and I will be mortgage free. Thing is even when I am mortgage free I really cant imagine going back to my old ways, I have atleast changed for the better "money-wise" hunting for deals and living a careful life is now in my blood Lol ...wonder what I can save for when my mortgage is done mmmm lots of people on the mortgage forum must have finally paid off their mortgages and then think now what....Oh dear, I owe roughly £4,000 on my CC always forget about them, certainly not a priority and they should be.
    might have a little nap before switching the tv on.......

    Much more restful night :).
    cloudy and dull this morning but cooler which is nice :).
    Have booked 2 house cleans in today ....which is much easier work when not so hot....will leave house slightly later around 10 am.... would like to get my own front and back garden mowed before I go out, hate to see those dreaded dandelions popping there weedy heads up, also drive and block paving need weeding..
    Have a large whisky bottle almost half filled with change inc 1p 2p, 5p 10p and even 20p so should be a good return if I can find some spare time time in the day, think I will pop in Morissin and use there machine.......could get some nice turkey steaks and pork with the voucher :D:D
    Only one problem....day planned but cant seem to motivate myself from the sofa this morning Lol ;)


    £10 paid into EF this morning, have left myself with only £10 in my purse till Friday but due savings interest tomorrow or Thursday so have back up if needed,hoping I wont................

    Did manage to get the coins to the coinstar in morrizons wowser "weighed a ton" £23 voucher....:T .had a nice browse/walk around what used to be my supermarket of choice in the spendy days when I didn't care what I would spend and well before I discovered Ald1s..........think I spent most of the time doing price comparisons.... anyway got sausages, 2 trays turkey and 2 trays pork loins and big chocky funde cake, not great for the diet I am supposed to be on Lol and lots of other little treats...did ok really. Opened my eyes as to what I used to spend and how I much prefer were I shop now. :D
