Hello!

How goes it AFK? Looks like lots of eBay selling going on, great news.

Well done with bank switch, a bit more for the pot. Sorry to hear of continuing Saga. I think my leaseholders got so fed up with me deliberately !!!!!!ing them about more than they could me they just vanished ( pity!).

Hope your to do list is getting done. Mine will now start with painting the lounge. I have all the stuff, just got to find the motivation!

Hi Bexster - you back ? I take it, you were away having some some sun and a little italian veno? no less.

Was away the weekend, and internet connection was next to nil, so could not check in anytime of the day.

Yes, ebaying going well, happy with that at present, not so happy with saga. still in communication with them.

List just seems to get longer, without any work being ticked off. However will get into gear sometime soon.

Back to work tomorrow, and quite a few colleagues are dropping a day or two not very :money: but could maybe put it too good use that would bring in £££'s. Just a seed planted, which may grow into a 4 day week

Hope you find the inclination for your lounge :rotfl:

Helloooo!

Yes I was away. Had a fab time thanks. I will gave to find the motivation for the lounge as I have a significant patch test of the colour on the wall! :rotfl:

Is fine tho, I will do it. Have been busy cleaning and decluttering. I got the Marie Kondo book at a charity shop recently, and have been " Kondo-ing" all over the place. I have a couple of big things to put on the bay of e for collection only. Will see about that this week. I'm doing another little project in the spare room, more later.

As for the job situation, I am staying put for the time being.

Hope you had a lovely weekend, catch up on challenges in the week. Don't work too hard.

Great to hear you had a fab time ! ! ! Now the work begins

One more day to payday, so yesterday shuffled £301.65 into the savings pot.
This month has to be my best ever, spending around a quarter of what I normally do in the month.
Mind you though, the next months shop will hopefully be about normal. I have cut right down and found if I stay away (shops) I stash away (££'s) (just made that up :rotfl:, but its true )

I have been living out of cupboards, freezer and some fresh items and still have a load, just wondering how long it would take me to empty the shelves/freezer,biscuit tin etc, etc however down to one on my essentials list - my last toilet roll :eek: not like me at all. Oh, and, of course - eggs

Looking for my next account to switch/open as filled the last one with their limit for interest, anything over earns zilch

Will get round to "that" list, just need "time" "energy" and weather :rotfl:

But if you empty those cupboards what will you do when the zombie apocolypse strikes and you have to lock yourselves in the loft for 3 months (Mrs SJ response when i ask why we needed 6 tins of beans to add to our other 4)?

Ahh, part of my spare room project involves the consuming/using of zombie apocalypse stash!! I'm not a hoarder ( honest!) but I do like to have stuff in " just in case". No more! I live two mins and five mins walk to two different shops ( one a supermarket) so completely unnecessary. Space will be much better used. Have been not replacing stuff for a while and the shelving unit in one half of the wardrobe ( which is a double wardrobe - I kid you not!) is now over half empty. In fact, a bit of shelf jiggling and I'm thinking its 75% empty. I must say, I had an :eek: moment when I saw you were on your last toilet roll. That would not be good news. My mum was always ' prepared" so I guess some of it is from her.

I agree with staying away from shops. I have all the bits I need for the next couple of projects. New mattress being delivered in a fortnight, so that will be the sort of project I can handle, bed testing

Better get this painting done first tho..l.

There's always method in the madness :rotfl:

I have also been going through my "extras" want to get down to a bare minimum, but doubt I ever will Everybody loves a trier) Was just saying to my mum at the weekend, I could get rid of "this" and "that" - never use them any more, and list my dinner service on the bay - couldn't believe they're calling my hornsea dinner service - Vintage :eek:: :rotfl:

New mattress being delivered in a fortnight, so that will be the sort of project I can handle, bed testing : emmmm, ok :rotfl:

Mum was always prepared for Justin as well. There was always a tin of Salmon or Spam in the cupboard Justin case of visitors

Another survey paid and received cheque for dividends for some shares I have, can't be doing too well, though - £2.49 received. Better than nothing and keeps reminding me about them, as I'm always forgetting I have them

Poorly behaved! Clearly I meant sleeping on the new mattress!

What if my mother were to read this! :rotfl:

P.S love that you are old enough to have " vintage" crockery
