Sounds a similar day to mine, although I don't have a dishwasher

Thanks AFK - a whole day of warmth and sunshine has been most welcome :j Impromptu BBQ dinner tonight and a shuffle round of the meal plan.

Remember I held out on the Hotpoint fire risk tumble dryer..well, update to repair date (May 16) has come in at May 17 today :eek:, with the option to have a new replacement instead, but this time a selection of 8 including the graphite grey that will match my w/m - which is showing out of stock and can't order it! Grr...and so it rumbles on! I was ready to part with the £59 as well!

Round up of the freebie £s:

Inbox £s at £8.62
Lucky Phone at £7.00
Qmee at 17p
P!necone - £3, with another £3 to come

Fuel fill up tonight
Architect to speak to and then pay that bill (it's 80%, with final 20% when Building Regs approve)
GP appointment made - routine(ish) and squeezed in before pre-pay card runs out

Have switched water back to DD and 6 monthly bill was due in August - means a large DD for 2 months, but great for the cashback with 123

Back to the barbie...should be ready to cook on now

Your welcome

Ours was to last till Tues (tomorrow) and I did hear someone say that we may have thunder later on tonight, looked that way when I left work, so hurried home, with no cardigan or jacket and made it safely & dry. No sign of the thunder - yet.


Lucky phone - not seen that one


Enjoy your barbie

Lucky phone is good,cashed out a couple of weeks ago

End of week update - been a busy one. Very good work wise and another chocca one next week. Probably means it'll be quieter during Wimbledon fortnight which is great for some quality tennis watching time

Financially, the 123 has all the bill DDs in place and first one went out smoothly today. New debit card, cheque book and deposit book - a 50 slip one. Maybe I'll take my change bucket bags there then

Architect bill paid - £485. BC have sent list of queries back as expected, well on track for within the 5 week turnaround.

Spends - fuel fill up at £37 and food shop done tonight at £26.80. A good few NSDs this week too.

Freebie £s:
Inbox £s - £9.30
Qmee - still 17p
LP - £7.35

Still checking DOBLotto and FPL daily. Must check Quidc0 and TCB to see amount in there too. Another PC0ne prelim survey completed, waiting on a product review survey to show up now too for £3.

Town tomorrow to sort July birthdays - 9 of them, but 7 are just cards, of which I've written 4 from the stash. Will be collecting my glasses with the new lenses in and probably wandering around drunk-like for a few hours :rotfl:

Fantastic thunderstorm earlier in the week - very large hailstones and lightening that struck a car nearby and a power outage for a few hundred down the road. Water butt full so I'm happy

Had first acupuncture session yesterday for my neck and although seemed worse for a while afterwards (quite normal apparently) I'm able to life my left arm above shoulder level today for the first time in ages. :j For good measure had a load of blood tests whilst there that GP had ordered.

Quiet weekend planned with plenty to catch up on at home. Not even started my usual Friday night tasks :eek: One job I must do is finishing hand stripping the doodle's legs - she's one short haired and 3 long tonight as won't stand still for me - will walk her v early tomorrow whilst no-one's around to see it :rotfl:

Hmm...very little about OPing here....:o

My, you've been busy, great stuff.

We've still got the good weather only a small shower during the night, last night, so turned overcast today, slightly cooler.


Have a nice weekend.

Smiling at you sorting the dog out and walking her early - we used to do one of ours and he always looked strange!

Glad the acupuncture had an effect - hope the pain goes away soon.

If you do a matching leg first (diagonal or pair) at least doodle will look less odd. Thankfully dogs don't generally mind what they look like (even our princess-y greyhound, though he does object to his pink coat...I think due to the feel of it rather than the colour!).

Out nice and early with dogs...not a soul around and a glorious morning too. Trooping the Colour on tv came to the rescue for trimming her other legs - she stood still watching the horses! Saved £60 by not using the groomers, so even if a little uneven it's worth it and she's definitely not bothered!

Acupuncture goes up a notch next week with a needle in another 'channel'. Got to take either an energy type drink or chocolate to have immediately afterwards. Glad no adverse reaction so far, desperate to be free of pain entirely rather it moving around.

July birthdays all sorted after trip to town with free parking - save a fortune picking the right day. £1.37 spent on cards. Collected glasses. All other shops avoided!

Batch of chilli made tonight (4 gone in freezer) and grilled some chicken and bacon at lunchtime that we had in wraps with salad with enough leftover for tomorrow.

Washing done, dried on line, ironed, put away. Dishwasher emptied. Bins, towels, beds, etc all done. Garden enjoyed, fed, watered, dead-headed and pruned. Which just leaves dusting and hoovering house tomorrow.

Sure time never used to fly by so quick as it does these days!

Hump Day update

Some more bank account interest in - £4.95 (£28.33 for the month)
Another P!necone done for £3 and a prelim completed

Was hoping to enjoy the sunshine tonight, but typically, finish work and the black clouds and rain arrive!
