Hi Foxy

NoOneAround

Morning Bob,
Just had a very quick skim as been off line for a while - sounds like things are moving a little with bookings and sales of equipment etc which is great news :j Summer period is always quiet for a lot of business - (it is the opposite for us - goes very quiet in the autumn and lead up to Christmas). Come September the bookings will come rolling in :T

Enjoy the last couple of weeks of school holidays
NOA

Quite a good morning.
Walked up to get my prescription.
Came home put a load of washing out to dry on the line
Managed to do 45 mins gardening out the front with DD strapped in her buggy next to me. DS helped with watering the ground so it was easier to weed.
Then went out the back and did another 30 mins weeding whilst DD played next to me.
Just heating up my lunch which is a portion of defrosted lasagne
DD is having hers, bitsa style as usual
Threw away 1 gardening glove that the fox had chewed up the brother of
Am going to put DS old skate board out to the street and see if anyone takes it
Sent DH a nag to book his health appointment for the next time he WFH
Checked banking
Fixed a hole in one of DS jumpers
Fixed up the feeding cushion that also had a hole in it

Recieved text from the guy about the deal....he is discussing it with his partner today....

And on with the show

Edited to say- managed about another 2 hours of gardening. Have now cleared about 20% of one of the boarders of bind weed and rubbish. And weeded the patio.
Put a coat into the charity sack and binned a tshirt that has a stain that just wont come out.
Advertised a couple of items on the local forum for sale

Morning All
Just sat here waiting for a friend of my sons to arrive to play for a few hours. I must confess to feeling very worried and stressed this morning again. I am yet to hear on anything good news worthy. Nothing on the mortgage or the residency. When I checked our joint account this morning there was £12 in there. We wont get anymore money till the 25th which means 7 days to go. I moved some money over from my account but that is also looking woeful. We have 1 more bill to go out on the 23rd. In the last few days we have spent nothing except on food. Which obviously is necessary.
I feel so fed up of having nothing to treat my son with and this constant feeling of just getting through the days as quickly as I can.
Everything could change tommorow if we get the mortgage rebate we were promised or a booking comes in. Until then I just have to do what I can to only buy exactly what is needed.

I am going to take the view that all this is just the calm before the storm and soon I will be so busy I wont know what to do with myself.
