Get a grip !

Skint_yet_Again

Thanks MF and SW. I really liked the house but I couldn’t sleep last night and have come up with a list of concerns to give to the surveyor if my offer is accepted. Always got my realistic head on but I don’t think anything would stop me offering at this stage. 

My friend came round for dinner last night. She brought salad and wine. I cooked peri peri chicken from the freezer using a jar of sauce from aldee that I bought a few weeks ago and boiled new potatoes plus pickles and sliced mozzarella. We had ice cream for pud 😋

No dog walking this morning. I am having a lie in 😁 Plans for today 
Weed the front forecourt now the weeds have died back after spraying with weedkiller a few weeks ago. 

Spray the rear patio / path with weedkiller 
Cut back a few shrubs
load of washing

Apart from pulling up dead weeds from the front forecourt I have done very little today. 

Have put my meter readings online for July so it will be interesting to see how much more the fans during the heatwave have cost. Should get my bill in a couple of days.

Do you have your bill from last month? If so, see how many more units you used this month and it will give you a rough idea.

I thought my gas bill would be higher as we're cooking separately and I've done a fair bit, but it was only 1 extra unit.

Your dinner sounded nice and you obviously also needed rest too.

I am so tired. Just going to walk the dog. Working from home today and I will be washing a few clothes I want to take on holiday and packing later. 

The house I bid on has gone to full and final offers. I will find out later today if my bid is accepted. I am still under budget so I am not sure if someone will outbid me. It does need some work so I was not willing to go over budget but I am over the asking price.

Fingers crossed for bid.

Good luck Skinty with the house. I think the humidity is causing tiredness. Hoping for a good day for you.

My bid has been accepted 🥂🍾 

I have taken the rest of the day off as the whole process has left me feeling exhausted. I am so relieved that I hopefully don’t have to look at any more houses or worry about any more bids. 

I am just waiting for kfc delivery to celebrate 😆
