Hi February Fund Finders,
Evening!:coffee: W.e.e.k.e.n.d.
Pleased with myself. When I bought my 'new' car last April I also had to upgrade the insurance to business and I ended up paying £365 for it. I did shop around briefly but that was the best I could get. Usually for insurance without business I would pay about £150, so this was a huge jump but last April I was in no fit state to shop around. Just renewed my insurance with business cover for £164. That's more like it!

Afternoon all

Been out today and had lunch out - doesn't happen often, and a jacket potato and a coffee each didn't break the bank
Apart from that:
Tidied up a bit
Very excited to see both a blue tit and a wren sizing up a bird box in the garden
in fact, they even seemed to be having a disagreement about who should have access. Our garden is small, and the bird box is in quite an open situation (at least while there aren't any leaves etc) so we were quite surprised to see this. Having said that, it would be a very safe nesting spot, as small dog sees to it that cats don't come into the back garden. Fingers crossed!
Folded and put away the dry washing on the airer - I always peg it outside if it is dry too Foxgloves, and as you say, even heavy things get half dry on a decent winter's day. I finish it off on the airer in the warm lounge, in the residual heat from the log stove which we light in the evening but always let out at bedtime, and it is nearly always completely dry by the morning
Froze most of the muffins I made last night
Packed and posted a small ebay sale
RM surveys stuff done
All today's spends logged in appropriate places (in my spending diary for personal / household stuff and business records for the couple of small items I bought to sell on. Receipts filed where necessary)
Watered micro leaves seedlings (rocket, mustard and spinach so far
)
I have a big pot of bolognese bubbling away on the stove, in which I have included lots of veg along with the meat
There will be enough for at least 2 days of dinners there, probably more.
OH has just lit the stove, so I had better fill a kettle to put on the top!0 -

Haha Baileys Babe it was really good! Would it change your mind if I said they were veggie sausages though?

I prefer my sausages with meat in, but good quality veggie sausages are still yummy. OH was a vegetarian for nearly 20 years. I have eaten my fair share of veggie meals before we meet, whilst he was a veggie and we continue to do so. Not tonight though we are having chicken orange and rosemary with vegetable rice.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

Morning Campers,
Doesn't starting off the day with a bit of hefty amphibian swallowing get one off to a good start?
I misread this as:
"Doesn't starting off the day with a bit of hefty amphetamine swallowing get one off to a good start?" :rotfl:
