Mortgage free and finally in a forever home

TallGirl

Thanks for popping by ShandyShores I agree online shopping is a pain right now have at least got the stuff for my mum just needs to send it now. 

I've heard good things about Sketchers she does need to try them though I think but worth a go. 

My lovely manager who is leaving has offered to help me with the presentation so I'll write it this afternoon and practise with her next week. She's a trained actor and it's what she's does for a living outside her main job roel play stuff so ideal. Look forward to it never too late to learn something new or get critique which she will believe me almost tell you off. 

Work conference has now ended so will have time hopefully tomorrow to catch up and send out some appointments for the next few weeks. Got so much to do before the end of June but things slowly getting done. 

Tired tonight didn't do bootcamp but we did have PT so that was good first thing. Night night all

Nice that the long weekend is here and the start of the month. 

Money shuffles done spent over and my budget didn't really work this month I would say as it was DGs birthday and I had it top up my golf account plus post my mums present. £267.75 spent plus £160 on DGs present not part of that will have to come out of savings. 7 spend days out of 30 final tally. Moved £82 out of savings and DGs present will be paid once credit card comes in. Topped up Monzo and savings account but realised I had hair cut too. Need to budget diffidently I think still managed to only spend £200 a month on myself since Christmas happy with that during lockdown. Will have think if I continue like this or start more pots etc.  

Lesson done and had brekafast at the club really nice. Then played nine holes in the dry and got home just had made.com delivered the fire thingy and it looks lovely just need an saucer for the top to stop the rain getting in. Happy with the rain for the garden. 

Posted my mums Christmas present (rather than taking it in July as it was a polly tunnel like mine she cannot get it in Denmark and likes mine. Less stuff to bring in summer at least. Also picked up a greggs bag from toogoodtogo was lovely as usual 4 posh donuts yummy not good for the diet. 

DGs family coming Monday so stocked up on food for them and playing golf in the comp tomorrow.   

Finally for my second jab today and so far no side effect very happy with that after last time. Dg is on a zoom call with a friend so chilling on the bed should have worked on my presentation but needed a break. 

Think that it is it hope your enjoy the long weekend. Picture of my scandi goodies half price sweets so worth ordering for sure.

Been so busy and finding it hard to socialise again but also good to do it. No side effect fro vaccine which was good so played golf Sunday badly but good to see everyone. Monday was busy PT was cancelled but did some golf practise with PT instead lovely sunshine at that point. 

Pool man was here when we got back the hottub was a right mess so need to empty it again which is annoying but maybe it will explain why I get a rash when I go in. Pool is fine by chlorine too high so need to top it up and hopefully get some use out of it soon. Dg family arrive just as pool man was here and dg got her fingers trapped in the back door as the front door was open at the same time. Bloody and messy but hopefully ok just not fab as they turned up for lunch. It was a nice lunch and good to see everyone again. The young cousin was very well behaved but she did get to go into the hottub and I made cookies with her. 

Need to get dg a birthday card but no other spends planned for the moment also need to wrap her presents but got them at least. 

Friends for lunch on Saturday but Asda order done will just need some bits on Friday however still need to fit in said change of hottub water and PT tonight, DGs hair colour Weds, PT Thursday and Friday is too late as it takes 24 hours to warm up. First wold problems for sure. 

Best get up wind we're bad last night my little polly tunnel set up got ripped off but hopefully not damaged and garden furniture moved around in the wind too.

So where do I start loads has happened. 

Present to my mum was wrong size so had to buy new one and send it my mum does so much for us she deserves it but a bit silly. Cost coming out of joint account but still my fault. 

DGs birthday was great nice to see two sets of friends even if we didn't strictly followed the rules we are all vaccinated. Can't do late night drinking did not sleep well does not really help either but worth it. 

Sunday saw a post on Facebook on the Mainecoon FB page two needed rehoming. So o my going on but decided to email and we have been selected to have them and speaking on Wednesday about picking them up 4 hours away weekend after next when things are open again. One is really nervous reminds me of my Thomas but so cute and we have a quiet calm home perfect for them. Have omitted to say about the pool but they are 6 so not silly kittens. Very excited our home is now complete as we so needed pets. Fingers crossed nothing goes wrong now. 

Prepared for the interview practised with my manager which was helpful and I have got it down to the required 5 min. Need to write my questions before 11.30 tomorrow wish me luck. Did apply for the 6 month job lower pay but full time.  Worked out if I only worked the PT role (if I get it) I will be £740 worse off a month. However if I lost my London weighting which I really should do I would be £370 worse off hardly a big deal. Anyway might not get it but worth a shot. 

Telly, hottub then early night needed tonight.  Money all over the place will take a proper look when I can.

Good luck tomorrow for your interview hope it goes well. I love mainecoon cats. I have two rescued bengals which I feel very lucky to have. Strangely it came about by being at the vets to have my lovely old cat put to sleep. My son was upset and couldn’t stay and after I went looking for him. He happened to be in the waiting room chatting to the lDy from the cat rescue centre in our town. He had told her I had always wanted a Bengal. She happened to have two which were unwanted. So off we went to see them and home they came a few days later.
Socialising will be so much better next Monday. Just in time for my 60th on Wednesday.
Good luck again xx

Thank you so much for sharing that what a lovely story bet they are well spoilt. Happy birthday for Wednesday perfect timing agree so much better after Monday. 

VandaFC hello again how's your lovely kitties, I cannot wait just trying not to get too excited in case she pulls out. 

Interview went ok I think it's above my grade I'm too operational not strategic enough but we shall see. Fluffed the Devolution questions something I do not quite understand but I know I could learn quite easily. 

Still another job application in waiting to see if I get an interview if I do great if not onwards and upwards.

Sadly I don't have any anymore, they all grew old and passed away.

When will you hear about the job TG?

TallGirl

They had two interview dates the 6/5 and yesterday so I chose the latter less time to wait. She said by end of week or early next week but I'll think a call this morning if I've got it. Funnily enough I'm speaking to one of the panel at 9.30 but that's about work. Thinking he might want to get the call in early before I find out I haven't got it lol. Seriously I need to be better at explaining the outcomes of my examples I waffle and then don't get to the end. They use a very specific model for their interviews I need to crack that.
