Moving forward and upwards

Spent a few hours outside and did everything I planned earlier. TomBo was working on No2.

Potted up some more toms, will do another batch tomorrow. Watering from below to encourage root growth.
Have to get the squash potted up as they're a mass of roots.

Moved the bulk money to savings as it's the start of a new month. 

Did a manual payment for the extra 10% to SIPP, already updated the DD.  Bills and SO savings come out on Monday.

Had cherry and almond scone for pudding.

Thoroughly enjoyed myself today.

Thanks SH.

Been on furball duty this weekend, treated them to some Savoy cabbage.

Popped to the nursery got some more canes, plants and netting.

Set the netting round the cabbage etc, planted the plants as extra protection too. Did a bit of weeding.

Transplanted the squashes and have them in the kitchen window. Got some pumpkins on the go for 'SIL'

TomBo burned some of the trees / plant waste and hopefully the rest will go out over the next couple of council collections. He also mowed 3 lawns.

Had chicken burger for tea.

MF and Tombo congratulations! I cannot believe how much you have done in a year. I was still unpacking boxes!!!! 

Well done on lovely food bargains, your gardening and writing the epic letter. The fact you have written it is cathartic in itself and tangible evidence brings another strength to your work negotiations. 

I hope you are chilling and gardening today.

Thanks Skinty and SW

We didn't have the space for boxes and bags to be everywhere.

I'm still not confident anything will come of this extra work, but maybe I will be surprised; I do hope so as I'm tired of always getting dumped with loads more for no extra money as always happens in every job I've had.

Totally forgot it's a BH today and panicked for a few minutes as no bills came out.

It's a normal day for me, however I collected a much better chair today and have another one waiting to get delivered to the office for when I'm working at home / the office, if this one is reliably suitable. It's already made a huge difference. 

Also while out I managed to acquire a chair for TomBo, which cost me all the money I had in my purse (less than £10). Looks brand new, is old but has loads of life in it 🤗

It's drizzling, but hopefully will perk up by the time I finish.

Great news that your new chair is helping and bargain chair for tombo. Do you still get to take BH another day ? You should still be entitled to the time.

Well done on chair, it will be a scandal if they dont I think they will now it is written down they can't deny it. 

I hope work goes well.

It's included in my holiday allowance as I get more than 28 days a year and we close for Christmas. Hardest part is getting to use them at the moment. If I do the long weekend thing again this year, I'm going to be even more reluctant returning to 5 days again in the new year 🙈

It's now raining, TomBo put the bins out, went for a quick walk and was soaked through.

It's poured down with rain here all of today yoo. 

Hope work give you some extra money.
