Happy Friday

I have kept it, but in the garage. I intend getting it registered in my name this month - then it will need an MOT and insurance - I am just too busy on other 'stuff' this month - build up of stress as the date approaches and the garden remains chaotic. I did getit out and start it last month though! and I will be putting it on show with DH's Harleys

I can imagine public viewings of your garden could be quite stressful. I could charge viewings to my installation "Grass Vs patio - the final confrontation" :rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::beer::beer: I would come and sit (if only to rest) and compare.

Honestly, we were supposed to be doing a dump run first thing this morning (I know, living the dream here!) but DH has been fiddle-arsing with one of the Harleys all morning. I have proof-read the catalogue and been liaising with a local resident about an issue, and just filling my morning really. Now it is hailing and sunny at the same time so not sure whether to get out or make cake (sanity refuge). Planning all gone to pot. Mutters and Mutleys as wanders off mumbling...

A lazy start to the weekend for us - DD feeling a bit run down still after her cold and I have a blocked nose as well :coffee:

My new CC statement came in during the week and we paid Mrs E's larger than required minimum statement to make sure her CC is gone by the end of her 0% offer. With that and a tiny TT, about £380 paid off this week.

I have been behaving myself at the gym (if not with the diet) and can now deadlift more than my own weight

This weekend will probably be a quiet one for us. The next month is looking very spendy - day out for DD's birthday, DD's birthday party, retirement present for in-law and family holiday (avec airport carpark cost, cattery and spending money) :eek:

Onwards and upwards... :rotfl:

That's an amazing amount to pay off in a week

Onwards & downwards:p:rotfl:

We had a lovely weekend and finished up with a trip to Troon beach. I liked Troon (had never been before) and will add it to the long list of fantasy seaside living options It was a cheap day out at c. £10 for a couple of drinks and a few ice creams.

£9.75 paid off the CC over the last couple of days (TTs, I will defeat this debt if it's the last thing I do).

Looking forward to sending in my FIT reading in a few weeks - they have re-jigged the payment periods and we have generated over 1,000 kWh in the interim

How lovely - my Sis lives about ten miles from there - her DH is quite a keen golfer - rich pickings around there (and lots of decent property overlooking these if not directly on the sea-front). You do seem to have put on a bit of a spurt with your debt repayment - it is though some switch has tripped and you are more focussed. That is certainly how it is with me. I want to get our mortgage down to below £30k by the time DH retires so we can use the pension TFLS to take it under £10k.

I am very envious of your feed-in-tariff. With a thatched property we can't do panels on the main roof, and the cart lodge roof orientation is the wrong way round. Maybe when we rebuild the pig-shed - although the tariffs have stopped, we could PVC up the roof for immediate energy assistance.

Have a good week.
