Travelling On

Exactly - those bottles are 75p for 14g in Sainsbo, something like that - imagine how much a kilo is!

I hopped out for a bit to do a little bit of digging, but nothing much - same drill, though, nice square couple of feet to put some bark chippings on.

Great news on the asian supermarket - such good prices mentioned I'll have to try and find one.

Glad you have been out and got digging. I haven't had any free time when the weather has been reasonable yet.

Thanks earthie. It was a very sizeable one, lots of normal size goods, but also sacks of this that and the other. I couldn't *buy* any of that I'd need at least my shopping trolley, or preferably my sister's car so a few spices and herbs were the obvious buy

I've worked at home since I was in my early 30s, so I've nearly always been able to do that - since I never planned it that way, that's sheer luck!

Feeling a bit wrecked with the different physical things I've been doing, but okay really. Today is the healthy walk, the last day I can use my neighbour's green bin, though I'd really like to tidy upstairs too: it won't be long before I need to empty the kitchen, and I need as much space as possible upstairs. Doing SB, washing machine is on, and phoning bruvver should complete the day


ETA setting up the direct debits to service the rewards current account! That needs doing.

Today is the healthy walk
done.

the last day I can use my neighbour's green bin
chatted: not only did I put loads in there, I laid all the really big branches alongside it, and he's taken them to burn in his woodburner - win win:beer:
He still doesn't mind me using it, so I'll use it till I go catsitting. An old rose bush fell off its roots as I was getting rid of some sedge, so now there's a lot more space for *my* plants. Very happy.

though I'd really like to tidy upstairs too: it won't be long before I need to empty the kitchen, and I need as much space as possible upstairs.
Needed a good long rest after the walk and the garden work, so I might be ready to do a bit of this soon.

Doing SB, washing machine is on, and phoning bruvver should complete the day
Not phoned bruvver yet, might get a cuppa and do that first

ETA setting up the direct debits to service the rewards current account! That needs doing.Sent the right amount of money to the current account, but the savings account I used doesn't have a monthly facility to do it. I'll have to diarise it
:eek:

I'll do the reverse transaction tomorrow.

Karmacat

Tidied and cleaned upstairs (nice in itself, and helps prepare for the kitchen renovation!) and phoned bruvver. He too is working hard in his garden

My upstairs is a nightmare! Between the walk and the garden and that, I'm ker-shattered, though in a good way. Stopping now.

Hope you managed a rest after all that KC?

Karmacat

I did, thanks teapot. Up very early with a cough, though Don't think its a lurgy, as it stops when I get up! Nothing like a cup of tea

Today:
- transfer money to reverse yesterday's transfer. Set that up monthly if possible.
- something's nagging at me with my visa cc - it was declined for my rail ticket on Saturday - thats never happened before. Wondering if I forgot to pay or something, will investigate.
- garden navvying
- carry on tidying upstairs, thats made quite a difference

Tada:
- nice travel chat with sister.
- SB
- YG (4395! Not long now!)

teapot2

Hope you can figure out the cc and its not a bothersome missed payment I keep meaning to set up DDs to pay the minimum on mine but its another thing I haven't got round to but one of them does send a text alert which helps.

I know a lot of folk aren't keen on YG but I don't mind it and its a good chunk of money when you get to 5000 points :j

I find a cup of tea 'cures' many ills. Have a good day but take it gentle with the navvying

Karmacat

Teapot, thanks for writing that above - I'd blocked the cc thing from my head so when I saw that, I logged off here and went to deal with it. Good news something went wrong with that individual transaction, but the card is fine, and not even a missed payment Next one is due on 21st of this month, so I paid it just now, I'll check that it gets where its going. And I finally have a telephone banking pin I do loathe speaking on the phone to them, as I ramble on about endlessly, but sometimes its the only way. Very snotty person, though, who didn't like being asked to spell unusual names in my new security questions. I think I may register for online management just so I can change anything thats eligible to be changed.


I like YG - they never offer me a survey and then withdraw it, they've got these easy ten pointer things now, and 50p for 7 minutes at my computer is actually fine, as these things go.

Been out in the garden again - not navvying, though just cutting back a norty piece of hedge that was hiding behind my rhodedendron tree, and pulling/ digging up the grass thats all around that area. Really useful work, and not too hard either by the time I get back from catsitting, I'm actually going to be able to plant fruit bushes and grow herbs and kale and whatnot, rather than firefighting - all this work is *really* paying off, I can see it
