one day at a time

safehouse

Thanks everyone.....its good to have somewhere to throw out all my personal cr*p...I must sound like a broken record xx
Struggling through this long Easter weekend and thankful it is soon to come to an end....OH likes the bank holidays for obvious reasons.... it gives him an excuse for the usual, not that he needs one...for me I hate and I agree hate is a strong word but I do absolutely hate any Bank holiday, or any time off work for OH truth be told.....sad but true. The next Bank holiday weekend I have decided to book a weekend away for myself and DS thinking it is 1st May?...will check today.
A massive £420 into the mortgage pot giving me close on 72k towards my mortgage :j..... Also DS opened a first time buyers account new government scheme giving first time buyers cash towards there first property of up to 3k allowed to save approx 12k deposit but if DS bought my house in his name with the remaining saved into this account, then this would give us an extra chunk off the house (Not exactly clued up and need to look further into how it works, but worth some investigation).
Bought some curtains from carbooty yesterday only £10 sold very similar pair on Teabay for £70 recently so have listed them for £65 .
Right then time to take my little doggy for a nice walk and hope OH stays in bed until tomorrow please :rotfl: HaHa
really not joking ....
Happy Easter everyone and hope you are all having a lovely weekend xx

Thank you, I had a wonderful evening.... feeling very chilled today... .

Managed to save £80 for mortgage this week by sticking to a frugal week.... no silly spends and food shop kept to essentials only.....hoping to save a larger chunk next week fingers crossed .
Full house clean this morning including all windows plus frame work inside and out....hate cleaning windows but get paid quite a lot extra and sun was shining so not to bad. Then popped round DMamas and gave her little flat a good clean along with more windows and fridge....have no energy left to do my own house
Still trying to reduce garden rubbish ...mainly breaking up old fencing 1-2 bags a day but rubbish guys are not happy to take broken fencing using the brown bins....branches yes but wood from my old fencing no...........so need to ring my local council, trying to avoid paying rubbish removal...certainly wont be cheap
I hear Tetley calling;)
