    Thanks WTMA!

    The seagulls were out in force last night and early this morning so a great night's sleep was had by all :rotfl:

    Jobs for today:

    - finish and send off application for approved credit card
    - put together wardrobe
    - call DVLA - They've changed my car tax band after an appeal (long story) but my part refund appears to be somewhat lacking...
    - clean out car because it's a tip
    - file claim for missing cash back Already done
    - call the @pple guy dealing with my complaint and find out what's going on :mad:
    - pick up clothes from storage
    - pay for Union membership
    - design and order pop up banner for business
    - take suit to dry cleaner
    - call garage and book service
    - update all finances (been very lazy on this front)
    - pick up parcel
    - gig
    - banking

    LET'S GO (I'm so tired :p )

    I'm pooped! Not quite finished but I've accomplished quite a lot today!

    - finish and send off application for approved credit card Done
    - put together wardrobe Done
    - call DVLA - They've changed my car tax band after an appeal (long story) but my part refund appears to be somewhat lacking... Apparently I have to wait up to SIX WEEKS for my refund :eek::mad::eek::mad:
    - clean out car because it's a tip Done, also gave it a bit of a clean
    - file claim for missing cash back Already done
    - call the @pple guy dealing with my complaint and find out what's going on OK, it's not a free number so I've sent a strongly worded email instead
    - pick up clothes from storage Done, and they're in the new wardrobe
    - pay for Union membership Done
    - design and order pop up banner for business Hmmmm, not done...
    - take suit to dry cleaner They were blooming closed! Just as well because I've found another two dresses that have to go in as well, and it's 3 for 2 so I'll save a few quid
    - call garage and book service Done, 16th May is the earliest date!
    - update all finances (been very lazy on this front) Still to do
    - pick up parcel Done, two new work dresses both fit
    - gig Done and paid
    - banking Ran out of time

    There are clothes and musical instruments and suitcases EVERYWHERE! And now the place is a pig sty, of course I've run out of steam :rotfl: Mum's out for the night and the temptation to leave it as it is until tomorrow is strong, but I'm going to keep going with putting everything in bags so I can start popping everything up online to sell as much as possible. Mum and I have agreed that whatever we make will go into a little household fund - our oven is total carp and I'd love to be able to bake when I'm home so a new oven (to us, it'll be a second hand / ex display) is top of the list! I'm absolutely shocked it's taken us over three months to sort the flat out!

    Anyway, plan is to finish bagging everything up, update finances, and put my feet up with a hot chocolate :D

    Wooo hooo have Fun ladyMay, have a g&t for me.

    I had a couple of ciders instead of G&T's (I'm a Devonian lass after all :D ) but it was a lovely evening, thank you.

    It's a bit of a slow day today - I went to get new car keys this morning which took a while and cost me £80 :eek::eek::eek: and now I have to get ready for my personal training session (this is a terrible idea) and tidy up the pig sty I've created in the flat!! Tonight I'll cook for Mum and I and prep for the first wedding fair of the weekend tomorrow.

    Happy Friday everyone! x

    Interesting day today, and my PT session went really well! I've built my strength much better than I thought, but I need to push myself more. Anyway, flat is vaguely tidy if you don't look in one particular corner :rotfl: and I'm pretty much prepped for the wedding fair tomorrow. Any last minute things I can sort in the morning because I don't need to be there til 11.30.

    the interesting bit was calling the police to our block of flats - there was a HUGE dustup between two of our neighbours. Mum and I have decided it's time to start looking for a new place. Challenge will be to find a two-bed with a parking space (and ideally a garden) that will take a dog AND be in our budget. But we shall try!

    Only plans for tomorrow are the wedding fair and dinner with a friend. Now I'm feeling stronger emotionally my desire to socialise has come back with a vengeance (within budget, obviously!).

    Off to bed, I'm shattered! Night all x
