Definitely not an NSD today. £825 paid over the phone for the solar panels.
I did quiz the caller first on details of who came to interview me for installation. I've been reading too many stories about accounts being cleaned out by telephone callers.Debt LBM (08/09) £11,641. DEBT FREE APRIL 2021.

I also found out today that if the air/water machine at the motorway services do not give out water for free, have a good look round for a tap.
Twas a good day today- Made a sandwich and took nuts and bananas for lunch
- Avoided being hit by a ladder falling off someone's van
- Had a good yoga class where my ankles visibly shrank during it
Felt really heavy with fat legs yesterday. Head seems to have been in a better place today, helped by my yoga class and quick driving reflexes! Do need to check out my blood tests though so I can get some energy and get back to exercise.Debt LBM (08/09) £11,641. DEBT FREE APRIL 2021.

So...
.. then there's the cheque for tax for one tax year
:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j
£497
Pretty pleased with that too.
Wish I learnt how to count. There was I thinking that I was getting just over £500 back. This was based on 20% back.
Think I've miscalculated :eek::eek::eek::eek:
More like £669 in total!
:beer::beer::beer:
Which is good because I need to pay for the balance on a long weekend to Riga and the flight and balance on a holiday to Cambodia, all by the end of May.
Better keep on with the NSDs thenDebt LBM (08/09) £11,641. DEBT FREE APRIL 2021.

So have just written WAR and PEACE and then lost it. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Cold day today, made even colder by being cold when I went to bed last night and not doing anything about it. 2-3 hours sleep later it was time to get up, feeling cold!
Did remember my emergency supply of nuts when going out on site today
(not just for squirrels you see)so when I went out this morning provided I could survive without coffee, I could still have enough nuts to get me home to the sanctuary of my kitchen and the kettle :cool:
Hence today will be an NSD
(aided and abetted by my lack of sleep and therefore the fact I can't face going to the cinema tonight!)
Tomorrow is craft night so it will definately not be an NSD (Craft night is a new way to get us in the pub drinking :beer::beer: - not really that I need new ways to get me in the pub! :T)
Tomorrow I have a difficult morning where things are going horribly wrong followed, by a difficult afternoon where things have already gone wrong. I need to say the right things in the afternoon or get lynched! Tomorrow is definately a day where;
Alcohol is the solution - what was the problem?
Right I was intent on clearing up before I go to bed so I'd better declare my NSD and then do that.Debt LBM (08/09) £11,641. DEBT FREE APRIL 2021.
